About Isaac’s Way

Isaac’s Way opened in November 2005 on Carleton Street under the leadership of Tina and Jason LeJeune. They worked ambitiously to create a community minded restaurant. The original restaurant was destroyed in a tragic fire October 2012, but we love our new location at 649 Queen Street, in the old historic York County Court House c1855.

In December 2018, the LeJeunes decided to sell the business and pursue other interests. Operations were handed over to the four people that had helped make Isaac’s Way successful all these years. Tabatha Smith now leads the team along with three industry professionals (Chef Jesse, Chef Laurie, and Kristin) and their goal is to continue the story and tradition of Isaac’s Way as it has always been. Here they are, meet the new ownership team! 

JESSE DEMERS: Isaac’s Way Kitchen Manager and Chef Extraordinaire!

LAURIE RICHARD: Isaac’s Way Pastry Chef and the Vegan Chef of The Abbey Café & Gallery!

KRISTIN THURLOW: Isaac’s Way Customer Service / Staff Manager 

TABATHA SMITH: Operations Manager and Restaurant Team Leader

The Isaac’s Way menu has a strong focus on local products: craft beers, New Brunswick meats, Atlantic seafood, and seasonally farmed vegetables … we believe it is important to support our local producers to build a stronger economy. Even our coffee mugs are made in New Brunswick! Isaac’s Way chefs takes pride in cooking everything from scratch, including our salad dressings, sauces and soups, and of course our famous gourmet desserts.

Conference 2021 – Call for presentations | CNAL

Call for Presentations!

The world has endured a collective traumatic experience throughout the past eighteen months.  According to a study conducted by the United Way Centraide, 76% of Canadians surveyed say the pandemic has had a negative effect on their mental health. The Government of Canada reports, “People are being challenged like never before due to isolation, physical health concerns, substance use concerns, financial and employment uncertainty, and the emotional dialogue around racial equality.”

 

As arts and learning practitioners, we regularly see the impact that the arts have in students and participants’ lives. The World Health Organization reports that “Results from over 3000 studies identified a major role for the arts in the prevention of ill health, promotion of health, and management and treatment of illness across the lifespan.”  In Canada, Hill Strategies concludes, “There is solid evidence of a connection between cultural participation and mental health.”

As we eagerly, yet tentatively, look towards pandemic recovery, we recognize the vital role that the arts must play in the health and wellbeing of Canada’s citizens, communities and society as a whole. We have also learned a great deal about the importance of technology and the intrinsic value it has to facilitate connectivity and broaden the range of arts and learning opportunities available to the public.

In October 2021, delegates committed to arts and culture, education, recreation, health, therapy, medicine, humanities, social justice and community will gather in groups across Canada and online for Creative Convergence, the biennial conference presented by the Canadian Network for Arts & Learning.  This creative exchange will feature an overarching theme of “recovery” and include streams of health & wellbeing, and community connectivity.

Themes:

The conference will explore the following themes:

  • the impact of the pandemic on arts and learning practice and programs – in schools, in communities, in professional arts organizations, in other sectors committed to and delivering arts and learning experiences
  • the opportunities, challenges and possible pitfalls for arts and learning in a digital age and what we’ve learned throughout the social distancing measures
  • the opportunities through which arts and learning can contribute to post-pandemic health and wellbeing – of individuals, communities and society
  • the strategies that can be employed to ensure the survival of artistic learning in all contexts and sectors

 

All presenters must register for the conference and pay the $25 fee for virtual attendance.  Registration will be available on the CNAL/RCAA website.

OVERVIEW OF THE QUERY PROCESS

Each month Voyage is bringing you a new YA workshop/class with some of the best agents, editors, and authors in YA!

We’ve designed these workshops to help you level up your craft in short 75-minute sessions. We focus on a specific area of craft and publishing related to YA.

With years of experience both evaluating and editing query letters, literary agent Kaitlyn Johnson will break down the do’s and don’ts when crafting your pitch. Learn format, the vernacular that applies to your story, and the best hooks to nab an agent! You’ll also learn what happens in the query process after you hit submit!

About the Instructor:

After receiving a BA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing from Emerson College, Kaitlyn Johnson refused to leave the concept of nightly homework behind. A literary agent for Belcastro Literary Agency, she is also a freelance editor at her own company, Strictly Textual. Kaitlyn started her literary journey as a copyeditor for academic publisher codeMantra, a YA editor for Accent Press, a Conference Assistant for GrubStreet, Boston, and has been agenting since 2016. She has written various articles for Writer’s Digest and has had a flash fiction story published in the anthology A Box of Stars Beneath the Bed.


About YA: YA is an ever expanding category of literature that constantly pushes boundaries. While the intended audience of YA is teenagers, almost half of YA readers are adults and Voyage is happy to be at the intersection of both groups. We are not interested in publishing a specific genre of YA, but we are interested in quality work by writers from a variety of backgrounds, especially #ownvoices. We are excited about creating a space that supports both emerging and established voices.

Voyage features short-form fiction and nonfiction weekly and we’re typically looking for unpublished work, though we do consider reprints. All submissions should be 6,000 words or less.

Please send any inquiries to contact (at) thevoyagejournal.com.

By submitting to The Voyage Journal, submitters agree to receive correspondence about future work and submission opportunities from The Voyage Journal. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Super Food Summit Series x Todd Gronsdahl

Série Super Food Summit Series
Projet virtuel et interactif / Virtual and interactive project

French follows

Early in the pandemic, Todd pivoted from his postponed installations and food performances to explore his Saskatchewan Maritime Museum narratives through lo-fi stop animation. As pandemic restrictions continue to alter our opportunities to travel, we have decided to collaborate on a “prairie/maritime food summit” of sorts.

We want you to submit any recipes, lore, ingredients or maritime foodie experiences!

These anecdotes will flesh out an imagined Saskatchewan/New Brunswick Chef Summit from our distant past that Gronsdahl will cobble together from rumour, myth and outright fabrication into a charming stop-animation story.

Follow our IG page and stories in the month of July to follow his progress and to view the official story of the chef’s summit dredged from the annals of time!

Au début de la pandémie, Todd a reporté ses installations et ses performances alimentaires pour explorer les récits du Musée maritime de la Saskatchewan par le biais d’animations stop-motion. Comme les restrictions liées à la pandémie continuent d’altérer nos possibilités de voyager, nous avons décidé de collaborer à une sorte de «sommet alimentaire prairies/maritimes».

Nous voulons que vous nous soumettiez vos recettes, vos traditions, vos ingrédients ou vos expériences culinaires maritimes!

Ces anecdotes viendront étoffer un sommet des chefs de la Saskatchewan et du Nouveau-Brunswick imaginé dans notre lointain passé et que Gronsdahl reconstituera à partir de rumeurs, de mythes et d’affabulations pour en faire une charmante histoire en stop animation.

Share your story of cultural resilience, and have it amplified!

Hill Strategies is currently collecting stories of resilience and innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic for Cultural Resilience: Using Innovation to Stabilize in Times of Crisis, a research-action initiative from the Creative City Network of Canada in partnership with the Cultural Human Resources Council and Les Arts et la Ville. Stories submitted at www.culturalresilience.ca will be listed and amplified for at least one year (from August 2021 to August 2022). Some stories will be investigated further and profiled online and in subsequent training programs. Submit your story today!

CALL FOR PROJECTS – PERENNIAL FRESCOES

INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR PROJECTS FOR THE CREATION OF PERENNIAL FRESCOES IN THE STATIONS OF THE GRAND PARIS EXPRESS

The aim of the consultation is to select 32 artists for the creation of illustrations on the platforms of 30 Grand Paris Express train stations, that will be put into service on the horizons of 2024 to 2026.

The object of this commission is the creation of illustrations that will unfold on the platforms of the Grand Paris Express. Each selected artist will be attributed with the elaboration of the illustrations of one train station. This commission looks to illustrate and interpret the territories served by the train stations of the Grand Paris Express, in a sensitive, metaphorical and even abstract manner. The artistic creations proposed as part of this consultation will be specifically thought and created for this commission.

The consultation is directed at artists and professional authors from all of the fields of comics, illustration, animation cinema and graphic design. The diversity of artists will guarantee the quality and the originality of this commission. The commission unfolds itself based on the principle of one artist per train station. In the interconnection train stations where several lines of the new network cross, several artists can be selected to identify each of these lines. This commission is based on a total surface of almost 50m² per train station, spread out on several modules of the train station platform.

The Grand Paris Express illustrations will enrich the train stations’ signage and urban furniture imagined by designers Ruedi Baur and Patrick Jouin, bringing a sensitive, artistic and urban dimension in the train stations’ spaces. In their implementation, these illustrations must immediately be identified as objects stemming from artistic production and shouldn’t create confusion with functional information.

The artists are invited to “illustrate” the territory to establish a link between the underground world and the city on the surface. These illustrations will be particularly visible from the inside of the trains and upon the descent of the trains. In this way, they will constitute “large windows onto the city”

Applications must be submitted before September 15th 2021 at 12 pm (Paris time).

An illustration module is visible at the Fabrique du Métro at Saint Ouen. Visits possible by appointment or during an open day.

Information available here: https://www.societedugrandparis.fr/gpe/visiter-la-fabrique-du-metro

  • A statement of intent of one page maximum explaining:
    • the interest of the candidate in this consultation and the project of illustrations
      of the territories of the Grand Paris Express;
    • the vision and intention of the candidate to illustrate a territory of the Grand
      Paris on the scale of the formats planned on the train stations’ platforms;
    • potentially, the specific connection with or interest of the candidate in one or
      several of the territories or cities served by the metro of the Grand Paris Express.
