The Walden Figure Skating Club has the pleasure to be hosting Rainbow
Skate, January 16th, 17th and 18th at the TM Davies Arena here in
Walden. This is the annual Rainbow Region Inter Club Competition and
includes all of the skating clubs within the Sudbury Region, including
the clubs from Verner, Massey, Manitoulin Island and Espanola. This
competition comes to Walden only once every six years and the WFSC plans
on making this event a truely memorable experience for both competitors
and spectators alike. The theme for this years competition is "Shoot for
the Stars" and is meant to inspire our young skaters to follow their
dreams much like our own Meagan Duhamel and her recent success, with her
pairs partner Craig Buntin, on the international skating stage.
The Friday night of competition offers a great night of entertainment
for spectators as this is when the Carnival lines compete. A carnival
line is a type of synchronized skating and can have upwards of 25
skaters on the ice at once. Walden will have a number of teams competing
in the carnival line as we showcase some of the numbers from our
upcoming ice show Walden Goes to Camp Rock on April 5th.
As with any large competition we will be looking for volunteers to help
make this a success. For more information about Rainbow Skate or about
how you can help please contact us at
interclub@waldenfigureskatingclub.ca or check out our website
www.waldenfigureskatingclub.ca.
Come out and support your local skaters!

The Films:
Fridays at the Farm
Feeling disconnected from their food, a filmmaker and his family decide
to join a community supported organic farm. As he photographs the
growing process, the filmmaker moves from passive observer to active
participant in the planting and harvesting of vegetables. Featuring lush
time-lapse and macro photography sequences compiled from nearly 20,000
still images, this personal essay is a father’s meditation on his
blossoming family and community. (19 min)
Recreating Eden: A Growing Community
"I want community gardens to be as common in big cities as libraries,"
says Laura Berman, coordinator of the Food Share Community Garden
program in Toronto. Laura used to be a landscape architect, but grew
tired of creating elaborate and expensive back yards for people who
simply wanted a garden because they had money. She now designs and
implements community gardens that provide food for people in need, which
satisfies her more than any expensive garden ever would. (22 min)
Chickens in the City
Chickens in the City is a chicken-level view of two backyard coops in
San Francisco. The film playfully explores the ways in which keeping
chickens has helped shape the philosophies behind what and how urban
chicken-owners eat. (7 min 20 s)

Mysteries of the Great Lakes On
Saturday, May 3, Science North is holding the World Premiere launch of
their newest IMAX® film - Mysteries of the Great Lakes. The $6 million
film has been about five years in the making, and as of May 5th will be
playing in theatres around the globe. Be one of the first to see this
spectacular film featuring the music of Gordon Lightfoot, and enjoy an
evening themed around the flavour and spirit of the Great Lakes -
specialty cocktails, a medley of food experiences, wine tasting, special
activities, a silent auction and live entertainment. Not to mention the
inaugural screening of the film and great company. Take a minute and
check out the film's trailer -

On behalf of Science North, I'd like to ask you to join us at this
fundraising gala, and be part of the celebration. This is a huge
accomplishment for Science North, and certainly one that all of Sudbury
can be proud of. Let's celebrate as a community and maintain the high
level of enthusiasm and passion we have as a thriving city, and one not
slowing down any time soon.
We're hoping for a crowd of 400 at the gala. Why not invite your
colleagues, family and friends to join us? Be a part of the fun, and a
part of this special evening. It's a great way to celebrate a new
season.
Order tickets online at http://sciencenorth.ca/gala. Don't miss the
boat!
World Premiere Gala presented by Sudbury Hyundai.
Kind thanks,
Audrey Dugas

About the Film:
Mysteries of the Great Lakes is a timely film. All across the Great
Lakes basin, there is a renewed interest in the health of the Lakes, and
an increased awareness of the importance of this fresh water resource to
the social and economic vitality of North America. Dubbed ‘inland seas’
by early European explorers, the Great Lakes have some of the most
spectacular wilderness scenery on earth, and a fifth of all the planet’s
fresh water. Today, 25% of all Canadians, and 10% of Americans live on
the Great Lakes. In addition, one in every three Canadians and one in
every seven Americans rely on the Great Lakes for their fresh water.
Through several interlocking stories, including the story of maritime
commerce and the ships that move cargo through the inland waterway,
Mysteries of the Great Lakes will take you on a journey through the
greatest lake system in the world, and showcase the amazing geography,
ecology, science, and history of the region through the most powerful
film medium in the world - IMAX
