Just got in from a lovely lunchtime visit to media launch event for The Magnetic North Theatre Festival, which is happening in June.
I am so psyched for this 10 day event that is going to take over KW with theatre people from all over Canada… and the world i guess.
How EXCITING is that???
Many more details as we get closer to the event, but I wanted to tell you that they ARE looking for volunteers, and maybe YOU have been looking for a low key way to get involved in the city?
They are looking for people to help out in these areas: (pre-festival) administration, fundraising, helping collate info kits (during festival) front of house, drivers, help with hospitality, transportation dispatch.
Here’s a couple of the benefits of volunteering:
- An invitation to our opening and closing night parties.
- One pre-booked, guaranteed seat per 8 hours of volunteer work, with access to all other festival productions and Magnetic Encounters events on a stand-by basis.
- Magnetic North T-shirt.
If you’re interested, fill out the form on this INFO SITE.

I know, I know, you’re sick of hearing about this event from me, but too bad.
The event last night was great – 300 people, good snacks and interesting speakers.
One of them was Stephen of Enermodal. Seriously, if you haven’t heard of these guys, check’em out. Doing amazing work with LEED certified buildings across Canada… and reducing their company’s carbon footprint with some really cool initiatives for their employees.
That leads me to this: one of the reasons that the companies cite when they explain why they work with SW is… employee satisfaction/engagement/retention.
Man, how true is it that young people feel more compelled to work at/for a company that actually gives a shit about the environment? SO. TRUE.
If you’d like a play-by-play of last night, check out my twitter (@angrycelery) and to view the Sustainable Waterloo 1 year annual report, Go HERE.
Nice work friends at SW, very excited to work with you over the coming months.

This picture is on The Record homepage today. I instantly started craving pancakes with Elmira Maple Syrup on them. mmmmmmmm.
It’s the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival this weekend.
I’ve lived here my whole life and never been. I am hoping that changes this Saturday!

A friend recently introduced me to the music of Peter Katz – a singer songwriter from Toronto, and i am quite taken with him. Sings about doing what you love, and other people’s stories of life. He just seems so sweet and lovely – and talented. So you should probably come out to Maxwell’s in Waterloo on Wednesday to see him.
Doors @ 8:30, opener (who is apparently also great) at 9:00, Peter on 9:45 ish. Tix are $7.

Tons of events again this week…. i love the spring – people leave their house, they stop being jerks on the expressway in the morning, they talk about what they did on the weekend. It’s lovely.
So a couple things you need to know about for this week will be posted over the next couple days.
I KNOW you already know about the Sustainable Waterloo event tomorrow at the Delta in Kitchener – but if you’d like to register last minute, go HERE before 5pm today.
Also – Cinq a Sept on Thursday at 5pm, Bauer Kitchen!
Mark it in your calendar!
