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 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJeKsYGu640


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
