Upcoming Events
Home Routes: Shawna Caspi
Shawna Caspi is a folk-roots singer-songwriter who can make a room full of people feel like they’re hanging out with an old friend in a plush corner booth. She takes her time crafting lyrics that are poetic and meaningful, often using unusual rhymes and surprising turns of phrase. Shawna spent years on the road, playing festivals and concert halls, train cars, backyards, and living rooms, supporting her warm voice with intricate fingerstyle guitar accompaniment, and drawing energy from shifting landscapes and long drives through Canada and the United States. Her songs resonate with stories that are relatable, but told in new and unexpected ways. This is music that makes an authentic human connection, that conveys a sense of closeness, of being understood, of feeling less alone. Her latest album, Hurricane Coming, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award and an Ontario Folk Music Award. Shawna is currently working on her next album, slated for release in 2027.
Doors open at 7:00pm, concert begins at 7:30. Tickets are $25 and are available via TicketScene (https://www.ticketscene.ca/events/65312/), at the door, or by calling 519-534-3001 or emailing colpoysbaywi@gmail.com

Permaculture and Food Forests
On December 7, Julie Lamberts joined us to share her knowledge on the topic of permaculture and food forests. It was an engaging presentation, and we'd like to share the PowerPoint slides she displayed to give you a chance to learn more about this sustainable practice, especially in light of our own food forest project, currently being established on the property!
