Editor’s Notebook

© by John Arkelian

The best of writing, photography, art, and argument – on everything from film to foreign policy.

“Ever dreamed of subscribing to a cultural magazine that doesn’t seem to be eating out of the hand of half a dozen media magnates? Something pluricultural and unassuming but nonetheless covering everything worth seeing, reading, doing or listening to for a season? Well, it exists, and in Canada to boot!”

“There is no on-line version or web site, which either makes John a dinosaur or a man of character. (I opt for the second, since the editorial team occasionally has a kind word for me.)”

John Howe — Canadian artist and co-conceptual designer on all three “The Lord of the Rings” motion pictures.

* Editor’s Note: The age of the dinosaurs has at last come to an end — with the arrival of this website!

* Adopt a Grand-StudentAdopt a Grand-Student

Age-Friendly University At Ontario Tech University, we are committed to being age-friendly and believe that our students have a lot to learn from seniors. We are offering our "Adopt a Grand-Student" program this fall. If you are matched, a kinesiology student from the university will contact you in early October to learn about your current activity levels and your favourite activities. We want our students to learn how active seniors in our community are. Take them to a dance class or sports game in which you participate, for a walk along your favourite trail, or for a demonstration of your home gym. The goal is to break stereotypes about aging and facilitate inter-generational learning. We hope our students can share something with you in return -- about exercise, technology, or university life.

* Cinechats Film SeriesCinechats Film Series

Time: 6:30 pm

A weekly series of the best films from around the world -- every Thursday at 6:30 pm. We have films to stir your imagination, engage your emotions, and make you think. They're the sort of films you'd ordinarily have to travel into downtown Toronto to see, including some North American premieres! Each week's film is introduced by Artsforum Magazine's film critic John Arkelian, who also leads an informal discussion after each film. Join our friendly, interesting, and welcoming group of film-lovers for a journey of continuing education through film.
