New Liskeard LandmarkDriving hundreds of kilometres, meeting a 40 foot: lumberjack, bison and trout was not something we expected, but definitely took advantage of and took record of.
Drive to Timmins, stop in New Liskeard at a truck stop where the nacho portions were massive.
Continue….stop at a convenience store….”These speakers are free?!?!?!?!?! Now we can listen to our ipods since there’s no auxiliary in the van.”
Continue to Timmins…Rocking out with the free speakers that produce very minimal volume…show in Timmins where everything is 24hours, WHY????.
Continue to Cochrane…show…check!
Go straight to Smooth Rock Falls…show…check!
Go immediately back to New Liskeard where we collectively chant “Pool, pool, pool, pool, pool, pool,” like 5 year olds at the sight of the hotel pool.
Sleep in an amazing room…Thank you Holiday Inn Express…Thank you Kristin!!!!
Show the next day…what to do in New Liskeard…What? Karaoke on a Wednesday night…What? The locals are asking us where we’re from every few minutes….What? We rock it out in New Liskeard.
Sleep…day off of performing…have conference call…good stuff!!!!
Hike a beautiful trail…fantastic….Afternoon tea? Don’t mind if we do.
Sleep…show…check!
Drive back…ending with Bohemian Rhapsody…AWESOME!!!!

MCT’s The Golden (C)age

posted in: Productions | 0

In 2011, MCT collaborated with the Hamilton Council on Aging to create a forum production about Elder Abuse. This video shows clips from the presentation as well as testimonials from participants and partners.

Thanks to the New Horizons for Senior’s granting program this experience has led MCT to collaborate with the Toronto Council on Aging and the Ontario Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse in efforts to create a new Forum production designed to spark dialogue in the Greater Toronto community.

If you are interested in being involved we will be looking for volunteers and potential participants in the coming months. Stay wired 🙂
