The Arbor Gallery has embarked on a new era in Vankleek Hill, setting up shop at its fresh location on 103 High Street. After gracing the charming Higginson House for over three decades, the gallery is taking its art and crafts to a vibrant new space. This move also paves the way for the Higginson House to transform into a dedicated learning center in the near future. We are happy to share that local artist and educator Stephanie Pete will be breathing new life into the historic venue by establishing her art school, Art and DreamStudio, within its spacious and well-lit walls.
Following a short break to ensure a smooth transition, the Arbor Gallery reopened at its new location on January 16, 2025, with its first major event of the year. The inaugural exhibition, titled “Distortion,” is a platform for the artistic creations of talented students from Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute (VCI).
Running from January 16 to February 8, the exhibition promises a captivating exploration of what “distortion” signifies to these young artists.

The 26th edition of the Hawkesbury Car Show took place the weekend of August, and it was a sight to behold for all car enthusiasts and lovers of vintage automobiles. The event, which has become a beloved tradition in the community, transformed the main street of Hawkesbury into a vibrant showcase of classic cars from different eras. As I strolled down the street, classic cars adorned both the left and right sides, each a timeless symbol that has significantly impacted automotive history.
The antique cars on display were true marvels, each one meticulously maintained and sparkling in the sunlight like precious gemstones. From vehicles dating back to the early 1900s to cars from the glamorous 1940s and beyond, the show offered a journey through time for attendees, evoking a sense of nostalgia and appreciation.
The dedication of the car owners was admirable. They work tirelessly to keep their vehicles in mint condition despite the challenges of Canada’s harsh winters. The passion and care that go into preserving these collectible cars were evident in every detail, from the flawless paint jobs to the sparkling chrome accents that adorned each vehicle.
Organized by the Club d’autos Hawkesbury Auto Club, the 26th Hawkesbury Auto Expo was not just a celebration of classic cars, but a significant fundraiser for the Hawkesbury Central Food Bank. The impact of this event on the community, both in terms of the funds raised and the sense of togetherness it encouraged, cannot be overstated.

Experience the excitement of the Vankleek Hill Fair, an annual event that promises fun for everyone. This year’s fair will not disappoint. The fair officially kicked off on Thursday with a lively parade featuring horses, antique cars, and decorated farm trucks, setting the stage for a weekend of entertainment.
One of the standout features of the parade was the presence of the Jordan Leigh Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and addiction. The foundation showcased a derby car that attendees could win by purchasing a raffle ticket, with all proceeds going towards their important cause.
Anyone wishing to attend can purchase affordable tickets that grant access to all the thrilling rides, which are a hit with adults and children alike. From classic carousel rides to adrenaline-pumping roller coasters, there is no shortage of fun!
The tempting smells of local food fill the air as you wander through the open space, which will make it hard for you to choose where to eat, but the affordability makes it easy to select a bit of each place to share and taste. Pizza Anjou offers mouthwatering pizza slices that will bring you coming back for more. I am always on the lookout for a good pizza, and the dough, the sauce and the fresh toppings make this pizza place one of my favourites. At the same time, Moonshine Smoke House delights taste buds with its big-tasting sandwiches and fried pickles. And remember the deep-fried Oreos you can find while walking through the fair!
In addition to the delicious food and exhilarating rides, the fair also featured an exhibition showcasing prize-winning products, house plants, decorated cowboy boots, and children’s hand-painted art. Attendees could also browse through local businesses selling handmade soaps, aprons, and barbecue sauces or partake in fun activities like face painting or getting a henna tattoo.
As the sun sets, the fair becomes a festive activity hub. The outdoor bar, open to adults in the evening, offers a place to relax with a drink and enjoy live music. The sounds of monster trucks roaring and cattle mooing mix with the chatter of enthusiastic fairgoers, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
For those looking for a memorable and educational experience, there was even a cattle exhibition on Thursday showcasing these majestic animals’ beauty and diversity. It was a great opportunity for adults and children to learn more about these creatures and appreciate their important role in our agriculture industry.
Take advantage of the remaining days of the Vankleek Hill Fair until Sunday, August 18th. Check the fair’s website for the entire event schedule and join in on the festivities.

We struggle, we juggle, we bear, we fall, and we stand up. Isn’t art one of those crutches we use to keep us going? We find shelter in empty lines and compassion and empathy in words written by others.
We are emotions and senses. Poetry is not there for us with a meaning; poetry is there for us to give it our own meaning.
Poets walk the world searching for their own words, and on this journey, if they are lucky—and only if they are fortunate enough—their words will be heard, remembered, and appreciated by others.
In a corner of the world, in Vankleek Hill, a group of amateur and professional writers and readers gather once a week to write and share their thoughts. They use guided prompts to open their minds to the words of others and to characters that are not physically present but alive in their imaginations. Janis Goad, a talented amateur writer, reads her work with a calming voice and invites others to join her in this imaginary place, combining memories and creativity.
The following poem is called “The Pearl Necklace,” which was created by Janis in response to one of our guided prompts. This poem beautifully captures the essence of transformation, using the image of the oyster and the silk worm, and the metaphor of the necklace representing connections. As mentioned before, it is not anyone’s job to give meaning to a poem, but to the reader. Take a look at this beautifully crafted piece of poetry and join us at The Vankleek Hill Creating Center any Wednesday at 6:30 PM if you are an avid writer or want to learn the craft and connect with others. 
The Pearl Necklace
I was an oyster on a rock, surrounded by kin.
I bathed in dark cool water.
I was at home in the river.
Into my opening half-shells you
Dropped a grit, even several.
They scratched me, burning, an inflammation.
I squeezed my fluids around each, layered nacre
Upon layer, but irritation grew.
You removed me. You cast my oyster aside.
Or ate it.
I was a pearl. You pierced me, precisely
Lest I crack. I stayed whole, unshattered.
I am a river pearl.
I was an egg, then a silk worm, green, wriggling, ravenous.
I chewed mulberry leaves.
Among kin, incubated in the mulberry garden I
Ate, I grew, I moulted, each instar
Expanding until
Out of my tail I spun whispy threads
I cocooned myself in silk.
Within, I dissolved. My proteins, DNA, my secret mystery
Unlatched and shifted, longing to
Transform to wings, to grow to flight.
You removed me. You unwound my thready home,
My life’s brew draining.
My threads you spun to silk to ply or weave.
I am a white silk thread.
I was silver, a vein in the mineral mother lode.
Out of the dark earth you mined me,
Bathed ore in arsenic to purify
In furnace you forged me, red hot
Liquid poured to moulds.
You polished me, smoothing burrs,
Burnishing to shine.
I am a sterling silver clasp, mullioned
Like tiny fairy windows.
From three vectors of provenance
I come. You strung me, knotting silken thread
Between each pearl,
Each knot a union and a separation.
You clasp me on your throat.
I am not a string of pearls
I’m the vertebrae of your spine
I’m the days of your life
I’m the breaths of a miner
I ‘m the lap of waves above an oyster bed
I’m the line of whitecaps near a shore.
I am all these transformations.
I am unshattered.
I am whole.

In recent years, the issue of homeless and feral cats has become a growing concern in many communities. However, one organization, Operation Spay & Neuter, has been working tirelessly to address this problem and make a positive impact on the local cat population.
In a talk with Patricia Bracelin, owner of Spay and Neuter Ontario Hawkesbury Cat Rescue, she shared the organization’s background, achievements, challenges, future goals, and ways in which we can help our feline friends.
1. Can you provide some background information on the organization and how it started?
After joining and volunteering for the first original group in Hawkesbury for three years, I left the group and created Project TNR – Helping Homeless Cats in the fall of 2012 and began bringing cats to the sterilization clinic in St. Zotique, QC, in the early spring of 2013, and have been with them since. The program was created to help control the overpopulation of homeless and feral cats. Still, it soon gained popularity, so I changed the name to Operation Spay & Neuter. With the approval of the vet, I began bringing cats that were adopted into homes and cared for by people who wanted to get their backyard strays, farm cats and feral cats sterilized. In December of 2023, I was contacted by the Lachute Veterinary Hospital to see if I was still looking for another clinic to help spay and neuter cats because they would like to come on board with us. I accepted their offer, so we now have two spay and neuter clinics. Note: We are a non-registered nonprofit program; therefore, we are not charitable, so we cannot issue tax receipts. However, we do accept monetary donations, cat food donations and empties, which we can cash in to help raise funds for our rescue.
2. How many cats have been spayed and neutered by the organization so far?
2,070+ cats have been sterilized to date.
3. What impact has the organization had in the local cat population in the small town?
That’s a tough question because we help cats from anywhere in Ontario and Quebec within a 1-1/2 Hours drive to Hawkesbury. For example, we have helped to sterilize and remove two feral cat colonies (42 +/- cats) from the town of Grenville, not to mention owned pets as well. We also get a lot of cats from Hawkesbury, Vankleek Hill, L’Orignal, Alfred/Plantagenet, Casselman, Ottawa, Rockland, Gatineau, Lachute, Brownsburg, Ripon, Laval, and that’s to name a few.
4. How does the organization fund its spaying and neutering efforts?
When OSN rescues any cats, we rely on fundraisers, donations and empties to raise the funds necessary to get each cat sterilized. Once cats have been fully vetted and microchipped, they are put up for adoption.
5. What challenges does the organization face in carrying out its mission?
Our biggest challenge is making sure that we have drivers for our Spay / Neuter Days and transportation for emergency and non-emergency vet appointments. Our current driver is from the SD&G OSPCA in Cornwall, but if we have too many cats to load in one vehicle, we then rely on others to volunteer their time to drive for us.
6. How can community members get involved or support the organization’s work?
Right now, our biggest challenge is that we need reliable volunteer backup drivers with a van or SUV for our larger appointments with the HVL vet hospital in Lachute because we can bring 40-50 cats per appointment once or twice a month. We also need a volunteer backup driver for our Spay Day in St. Zotique that can transport 16 to 20 cats per appointment whenever our usual driver is unavailable as she works for the Cornwall SPCA. We also need cat food donations both wet and dry.
7. What are the long-term goals and vision for the organization?
Our long-term goals are to get Ontario veterinarians on board as well as other Quebec veterinarian clinics to work with rescues. There is a serious overpopulation crisis that needs to stop being ignored and dealt with! There’s far too much suffering on the streets and a huge part is due to pet abandonment and neglect because pet owners simply cannot afford the regular high costs of vetting especially with multi-cat households. The people just cannot afford it!!
8. Can you explain in your own words the benefits of Neutering out cats?
Spaying a female before her first heat cycle greatly reduces the risk of mammary cancer, ovarian tumours and uterine infections and prevents unwanted kittens from being born. Neutering your male cat prevents the risk of testicular cancer. It also protects them from certain in-curable diseases related to mating such as Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Aids (FIV). Sterilizing your pet prevents nuisance behaviours such as aggressiveness, fighting, spraying and marking, unwanted heat cycles, and calling (meowling).
9. Do you offer other services?
Depending on the clinic, other services may be possible at reduced prices during the cat’s sterilization surgery, such as FIV / FeLV (Snap Test), Microchipping, Blood tests, simple biopsies, and entropion eye surgery, all for additional fees.
10. What can neighbours do when they see a cat in danger?
Try to secure the cat in a safe spot, or spare room or bathroom in your home. Contact your local veterinarian, or a reputable cat rescue, SPCA or Humane Societies. We can all do our part to help these innocent animals because it was not their choice to become homeless, it was forced on them and they had no say in it.
In conclusion, spaying and neutering cats contribute to controlling the cat population, reducing the number of homeless felines, and offering numerous health benefits for our beloved pets and strays. By preventing unwanted litter, reducing the risk of certain cancers and diseases, and curbing undesirable behaviours, sterilization plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of cats.
Moreover, when it comes to stray cats, it is essential to remember that they deserve our compassion and assistance. Taking in a stray cat, providing necessary care, and contacting local organizations for support can significantly affect these animals’ lives.
If we have to speak about the benefits that adopting a cat has for ourselves and our families, this article will continue endlessly; I’m writing below some of these benefits:
Companionship and Emotional Support:
Cats are not just pets but loving companions that provide unconditional affection and companionship. Their soothing purrs and gentle demeanor can offer emotional support, reduce feelings of loneliness, and alleviate stress and anxiety. Whether snuggled up on your lap or playfully chasing a toy, cats have a remarkable way of brightening your day and lifting your spirits.
Low Maintenance and Independent Nature:
Unlike pets that require constant attention and care, cats are relatively low-maintenance and independent creatures. With their self-sufficient nature, cats can entertain themselves, groom themselves, and use a litter box with minimal supervision. This makes them ideal pets for individuals with busy schedules or limited space, as they can adapt well to various living environments.
Health Benefits:
Research has shown that owning a cat can have positive effects on physical health. A cat’s calming presence can help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and promote relaxation. Additionally, petting a cat can release endorphins and boost mood-enhancing chemicals in the brain, contributing to improved mental well-being.
Entertainment and Playfulness:
Cats are natural-born entertainers known for their playful antics and naughty behaviour. From chasing laser pointers to pouncing on feather toys, cats never fail to provide endless amusement and laughter. Their curiosity and agility make them excellent companions for interactive play, stimulating their physical and mental health while fostering a strong bond between you and your feline friend.
Rescuing and Saving Lives:
Adopting a cat from a shelter or rescue organization gives you a loving companion and saves a life. Many cats in shelters need a forever home, and your decision to adopt can significantly impact their well-being. Providing a safe and loving environment for a rescued cat gives them a second chance at happiness and security.
We want to thank Spay and Neuter, Patricia, and her amazing volunteers for caring for those who need it the most.

Emergencies and accidents can happen when we least expect them. Being equipped with the necessary skills to respond effectively is crucial. First aid training is vital in preparing individuals for such situations, providing them with the knowledge and confidence to act swiftly and potentially save lives.
On July 20, National Capital First Aid will host their first aid training at the Creating Centre of Vankleek Hill. Aiming to equip more individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to handle emergencies effectively, potentially making a significant difference in the lives of those around them.
One person who truly gets the significance of first aid training is Tammie Martin, a Red Cross instructor at National Capital First Aid. Drawing on her experience as a military primary care paramedic and volunteer firefighter, Tammie recently shared some insights in a Q&A session for individuals wishing to participate in the forthcoming training.
. What qualifications and experience do your instructors have in delivering first-aid training?
I am a Red Cross first aid instructor working with National Capital First Aid, a Red Cross Training Partner. The owner is an RN, and instructors come from mostly medical backgrounds. I was in the military as a Primary Care Paramedic and Volunteer Firefighter.
. What topics are covered in your first aid training courses?
First Aid & CPR of various levels is provided. Students learn how to respond to emergencies and how to give first aid to a wide range of injuries. They will also be trained in adult/child/infant CPR as well as the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED)
. How long are your first aid training courses, and what is the format (e.g., in-person or online)?
Courses are offered in a blended format, which means that students will complete a knowledge-based online course on their own time, followed by a one-day hands-on skills training and assessment.
. Do you provide certification upon completing the first aid training course?
Once both portions of the blended course are completed, certification is issued through the Red Cross and will meet school, employment, or professional needs. However, anyone can take a course for personal benefits as well.
. How do you think this training benefits people?
Training enables everyone to be prepared in the event of an emergency. Accidents can happen anywhere, and as a result, someone who has taken a course might just save a coworker, family member or a complete stranger.
National Capital First Aid also provides first aid training and offers courses for parents, grandparents, and babysitting.

Caroline Carrière, better known as Caro by her loved ones and clients, has knitted a remarkable path from her early aspirations in child welfare to her current role as a massage therapist specializing in energy healing. Her story involves love and dedication to helping others, personal growth, and a dream of professional excellence.
Caro’s journey began with pursuing a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) in social work at the Cité Collégiale in Ottawa. Her deeply rooted desire to work for child welfare services fueled her educational journey. After completing her studies, she dedicated eight years of her life to working with children, split between family environments and early childhood education centers.
However, fate had other plans for Caro, and three years ago, she embarked on a new path as a massage therapist, coupled with achieving her third level in energetic Reiki Usui. This transition allowed her to fulfill her passion while balancing her role as a devoted mother to two wonderful daughters.
Throughout her transformative journey, Caroline has continually invested in her professional development, undertaking various training courses in massage therapy and energy healing. Her commitment to offering quality service to her clients is evident in the diverse range of treatments she provides, including relaxation massage, therapeutic massage, cupping therapy, and Reiki Usui energy.
Caro’s dedication and passion for her craft are further exemplified in her recent training in advanced techniques such as Lipocavitation, Infratherapy, Electrostimulation, and Pressotherapy. These treatments focus on physical wellness, targeting fat reduction and cellulite elimination, and promote overall well-being by addressing stress, fatigue, pain relief, and improved circulation.
I had the opportunity to ask Caroline some questions to learn more about her work and passion. Here are some of her insights about well-being and self-care that she shared with me:
What motivated you to specialize in energy healing in massage therapy?
Life has a way of guiding us to where we are meant to be. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. Despite the challenges we encounter, there is always a purpose behind our experiences.
I have always felt a deep desire to help others, and my compassionate nature led me to pursue this path. Through my experiences and personal growth journey, I have understood the importance of supporting those in need. Integrating energy healing into massage therapy allows me to address emotional wounds that may manifest as physical pain in my clients.
Is there anything you recommend for people to improve their well-being?
I believe prioritizing our well-being is vital in a society that often emphasizes productivity over self-care. There are several ways to improve our well-being. Firstly, getting an adequate amount of sleep is crucial. Children should aim for 8 to 10 hours, while adults need around 7.5 hours of sleep. Maintaining a healthy diet, drinking at least 2 litres of water daily, and engaging in 20 minutes of exercise daily are essential for overall well-being. We live in a world saturated with screens and negative messages. Limiting screen time can improve attention and mood and reduce stress. Slowing down and focusing on meaningful connections, such as having family meals and conversations, is also important. Planning and preparing meals in advance can help reduce stress and create more quality time with family during the week.
Personally, I find that waking up earlier to practice self-care rituals such as Reiki, meditation, and exercise a few times a week gives me the energy and positivity I need to start my day. These practices contribute significantly to my overall well-being.
How do you incorporate energy-healing techniques into your massage sessions?
A. Before integrating energy healing techniques such as Reiki into a massage session, I always obtain the client’s consent. I do not use energy treatments in all massage therapy sessions. For new clients or those who may benefit from energy healing, I explain the process of a Reiki energy session and the potential benefits it can offer.
What are the principles behind energy healing, and how does it differ from traditional massage therapy?
Traditional massage therapy releases muscular tension to alleviate physical pain, improve mobility, and enhance circulation. On the other hand, Reiki energy healing aims to connect with an individual’s soul energy, requiring trust and respect between the practitioner and the recipient as it delves into the depths of the soul. This pure energy comes directly from the Divine Source. Combining energy healing with massage therapy can provide immense relief when necessary.
What benefits do clients typically experience from receiving energy healing during a massage session?
Clients can experience various benefits from an energy healing session, including accelerated self-healing, increased energy, strengthened intuition, tension relief, stress reduction, emotional release, and improved symptoms of diseases. Additionally, it can enhance creativity, awareness, self-confidence, balance energies, eliminate toxins, strengthen the immune system, promote healing, support recovery after trauma, relieve pain, and optimize the effectiveness of medical treatments.
How do you assess and address the energy needs of each customer before starting a session?
Before every session, I emphasize to clients that I do not control the results and serve only as an intermediary between them and the Source. While a client might wish to work on specific aspects, the Source may address different issues. Ensuring clients have all the necessary information and that their questions are thoroughly answered before the session begins is essential.
One last question: how do you educate clients about energy healing and its potential impact on their well-being?
I provide each client with an information sheet detailing all aspects of a session before they decide to schedule an appointment with me. This ensures that all clients are well informed about the process and potential impacts on their well-being.
In summary, Caroline’s journey is truly inspiring for those committed to pursuing their passions, accepting change, and actively seeking personal and professional growth. Her dedication to self-improvement and exceptional care for her clients make her an extraordinary professional you would enjoy visiting.
