PEATS RIDGE FESTIVAL

CANCELLATION DUE TO EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS

Mother Nature has made her call and as a sustainable Festival we have had to listen.

It is with the greatest regret that we have to announce the cancellation of this years Peats Ridge Festival.

The highest December rainfall on record, coupled with six months of extremely wet weather has resulted in ground conditions that make it impossible for the Festival to proceed. Although the team has done everything in its power to deliver the Festival, at the end of the day the wellbeing of our patrons must come first. In the interests of public safety the organisers and venue owner

Tough Guise: An Evening of Film and Discussion Happening on Tuesday May 29 - Tough Guise: An Evening of Film and

Discussion

with Paul Baines "Shoulder to Shoulder: Men and Vulnerability" is a 26

minute video by local Media Educator, Producer, and Organizer, Paul

Baines.

In a culture of tough guys and strong-yet-silent types, we hear barely

a

whisper from men talking about vulnerability. What does vulnerability

feel

like? What barriers keep men from being more vulnerable? How does a

lack of

vulnerability affect men's relationship with others and themselves?

Paul Baines wanted to focus on these questions by looking both outward

and

within. He spoke to a group of five men who shared his experience of

supporting men living with a disability.

It is in the shelter of each other that the people live. - Irish

Proverb

We will also show clips from "Tough Guise" which is an educational

video by

the Media Education Foundation. (www.aml.ca)
