Seriously folks, arts events in this town never stop. We are incredibly lucky to live in this arts and cultural hub of the north. Even when the wind blows and we await the snow, we can be warmly wrapped in the glow of cultural experience.

As I write this column, Culture Days has not yet happened, but by the time you read it Culture Days will be a glowing memory. Don’t know if you know this but The Reminder staff works up to four days in advance.

Good morning, Flin Flon (or good evening, if you don’t read The Reminder till you get home from work). We have lots of very cool stuff coming up in the arts and culture scene in the next two weeks, much of which is Culture Days-related.

And now it’s September! Seriously folks, summer is done and we are into the fall season of arts and culture.

Nobody would accuse Crystal Kolt of lacking ambition. Seven years in to the annual celebration, the cultural coordinator of the Flin Flon Arts Council has plenty of fresh ideas for this year’s Culture Days.

Embrace your roots. That’s the message of local author Harry Hobbs’ latest self-published novel, Circle of Roots. “A lot of people I know are sort of ashamed of their roots, of who they are and what their families are,” says Hobbs.

Lots of great events coming in the next two weeks to the Flin Flon/Creighton/Denare Beach region.
