Walking as Remapping | Marking Time: Tour of the Old Stone Quarry Site at the Guelph Correctional Centre
2024-09-19 17:00 | Guelph Correctional Centre, 785 York Road, Guelph, ON, N1L 1P4, Canada
Join us for a walk and conversation with AGG Director Shauna McCabe and researcher and past chair of Heritage Guelph, Brian Skerrett, as they discuss the layered histories at play in Guelph, with a focus on the site of the stone quarry on the grounds of the Guelph Correctional Centre (Ontario Reformatory). This dialogue will delve into the connections between geologies and geographies as well as between natural and built environments.
Worked by those incarcerated at the Reformatory, not only does the stone quarry expose layers of rock that reveal the earth’s stratigraphy and fossil records, in this case a prehistoric reef, the quarries became part of the cultural landscape as materials extracted were used to build local architecture, influencing the aesthetic and structural characteristics of the region.
This tour is presented in conjunction with the AGG’s recent exhibition Yours in Native Spirit: Richard Bedwash, curated by Shauna McCabe and Colinda Clyne, as the Anishinaabe artist served a term there in the 1970s, part of the intricate narrative that connects his work, his life, and the city of Guelph.
Note that to access this site, participants must walk over uneven ground for approximately 15 minutes and there are no washroom facilities on the site. In the case of extreme weather, this walk will be rescheduled and any changes will be communicated by email to those registered.

Presented by the Art Gallery of Guelph as part of AGG’s Walking as Remapping program with the support of the University of Guelph’s Wellness@Work program, in partnership with the Department of Geography and School of English and Theatre Studies.

One Health Seminar with CERC Chair Dr. David McCarthy
2024-09-25 12:30 - 13:30 | OVC Pathobiology AHL, 419 Gordon Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
The title of Dr. McCarthy’s seminar is “Using a One Health Approach to Understanding and Mitigating Risks to Swimmers.“
David McCarthy leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS), the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) and the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC). The team aims to understand how pathogens from human and animal waste move through urban water cycles, how they interact with humans and how to reduce the health risks they pose.
To do this, McCarthy’s lab is developing novel technologies to detect pathogens and their sources in near real-time, designing a “lab-on-a-chip” device to enable pathogen detection in the field, and modelling how humans interact with sources of contamination and reduce pathogen loads in the environment. McCarthy’s team emphasizes solutions that are easy to use, low cost, open source and open hardware, to encourage and enable their use in all parts of the globe.

In-Person: Eco-Art Therapy
2024-09-28 09:30 - 16:30 | Arboretum Centre, 250 Arboretum Rd, Guelph, N1G 2W1, Canada
This full-day, immersive Eco-art therapy session is aimed at providing an experience where you will interact with and share nature-based experiences to help bring hope, resilience, and positivity in your life right now. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on components of Ecopsychology as well as Eco-Art Therapy. Participants will be introduced to some key concepts of Ecopsychology and then participate in hands-on Eco-art therapy activities.
Such concepts include:

Wisdom in nature
Engaging with nature and our surroundings beyond the 5 senses
Personal validation through personal “in-the-moment” experiences
Interconnections in nature and concepts of time, forgiveness, patience, love, and care as observed in nature
Communication beyond language, as observed in nature
Finding wisdom in nature and breaking free from societal rigidity and structure

The ecopsychological focus will be to open yourself to direct experiences within nature and rely on a reciprocation of experiences, where you allow nature to gently guide your awareness through your senses. You will be challenged to learn from nature’s wisdom in the absence of words and languages, and simply rely on your senses. You will be amazed by how and what nature reveals to you through such an approach.
The session will explore eco art activities that go beyond the barriers of traditional artistic techniques, and express without boundaries. Participants will create pieces that they are truly proud of because of the deep experiences and meaning held in the work.
What to bring:

small kit that includes scissors, pen, pencil, ruler, markers, pencil crayons
sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable clothes, bug spray, and anything else you would like to be comfortable. (ie. small mat to sit on while working outside)
water bottle, a lunch and some snacks
an open-mind and uncompromised creativity!

The fee includes a $15 material fee that covers the additional supplies that the instructor will supply.
Memona is a mother, community-based collaborator, and a PhD candidate in Applied Ecopsychology and certification in Eco-art Therapy. Ecopsychology is the area of study that explores the connective, holistic relationship between humans and the Earth. She holds a Master’s in Education from the University of Toronto.
