COVER STORY<br />

Designs Bright<br />

Transitional Kitchen<br />

By Joanne Culley<br />

The original family room in Courtney and<br />

Taylor’s home was dated, with wood paneling,<br />

carpeting, a pool table, and no windows. A key<br />

consideration when renovating from top to bottom was<br />

creating a more spacious and bright floor plan that was<br />

functional for their family, which includes two children.<br />

The couple decided to transform the large family room<br />

into the kitchen of their dreams.<br />

“I wanted a place for us to gather for meals with not<br />

only our kids, but guests as well,” says Courtney. “I<br />

touched base with Beverly Wellington at Cabinetree<br />

early on in the process and she helped in planning the<br />

layout and designing the kitchen cabinets.”<br />

One of Courtney’s dreams was to have a large island,<br />

which is now the focal point of the room. At 10 ft. by<br />

3 ft., the island seats six as well as providing lots of<br />

storage space for a microwave and two large banks<br />

of drawers. The quartz countertops throughout are<br />

Silestone’s Eternal Calacatta Gold, which features<br />

subtle grey and golden brown veining - colours found<br />

elsewhere throughout the room. The Morning Dew<br />

island colour subtly contrasts with the Chantilly Lace<br />

perimeter cabinetry.<br />

The couple wanted extensive storage space to meet<br />

the needs of their busy family. Cabinetree’s custom<br />

cabinets showcase their best-selling transitional MDF<br />

door profile called Cosmopolitan. The cabinets are<br />

accented with champagne bronze handles that tie in<br />

with other warm bronze elements found throughout<br />

the main floor.<br />

To the right of the fridge are two-foot-deep cabinets<br />

with shelving to hold supplies such as toilet paper,<br />

paper towels, and sections for their mop and broom.<br />

On the left are pantries with drawers for the kids’<br />

snacks and cereal to make them easily accessible. Small<br />

appliances are stored within the cupboards above.<br />

“The cabinets and large drawers beside the back door<br />

hold BBQ supplies and other items we need in the<br />

backyard – it’s important to me to have things handy,”<br />

says Courtney.<br />

Finishing touches include a deep, double stainless steel<br />

sink, and a traditional champagne bronze widespread<br />

faucet with separate side sprayer. To the left of the sink<br />

is the garbage and recycling pull-out, a staple found<br />

in many new kitchen designs. On the left side of the<br />

stove is a pull-out accessory that houses their spices<br />

and oils, while trays and cookie sheets are neatly<br />

stored in the cabinet to the right.<br />

New windows were installed along the back wall to let<br />

in lots of natural light and allow the parents to watch<br />

their kids playing in the backyard. Glass globe lighting<br />

over the island contributes to the clear view.<br />

“Our new kitchen space is like night and day compared<br />

to what it was like before,” says Courtney. “It’s bright<br />

and airy with clean lines and abundant storage. I’d<br />

highly recommend Cabinetree for any project – they<br />

made the process easy from start to finish.”<br />

“This kitchen is truly beautiful and timeless. The<br />

combination of functional and classic details creates<br />

longevity, which means it will look and function<br />

amazingly for years to come,” says Beverly.<br />

The designers at Cabinetree take great pride in helping<br />

clients with the design of their new spaces.<br />

They work with clients to uncover exactly what is<br />

needed from the space to make it the best possible<br />

layout to fit their home and lifestyle. While the<br />

selections process may be relatively similar from client<br />

to client, there are always variables which make every<br />

project unique. They uncover these details to truly<br />

tailor each space to the individual. It’s only near the<br />

end, once a solid working layout is solidified, that they<br />

direct clients to consider the finishing touches, such as<br />

colour, hardware selection, and countertops.<br />

Prior to beginning work, Cabinetree takes detailed<br />

laser measurements, so they can design a layout and<br />

build cabinets to fit your space. With skilled designers<br />

on staff, they are able to create designs that appeal to<br />

everyone and fit any budget.<br />

DISCOVERY DREAM HOMES<br />

Creates Modern Log Home<br />

on Otonabee River<br />

By Joanne Culley<br />

Shain remembers hunting and fishing as a child on<br />

the property that his family has owned for many<br />

years on the Otonabee River north of Rice Lake.<br />

When he and his wife Debbie purchased the adjacent<br />

property about 20 years ago, they had dreams of one<br />

day building a new home there.<br />

“The property has lots of deciduous forest, with log<br />

homes on either side, one from the late 1800s and the<br />

other about 30 years old, so we wanted our new home<br />

to blend in with the environment,” says Debbie.<br />

When the couple met Jamie Henderson, Design<br />

Consultant with Discovery Dream Homes, at the<br />

National Home Show in Toronto and spoke to him<br />

about their vision, they knew they had found the right<br />

person and company to help them realize their dream.<br />

“We felt comfortable with Jamie’s approach and liked<br />

that Discovery was located nearby in Keene,” says<br />

Debbie.<br />

the modern Mountain View model, with tweaks such<br />

as spreading the house over a larger footprint and<br />

adjusting the position of the stair case, to have it going<br />

down instead of up.<br />

The exterior and trim of this unique four-bedroom log<br />

home is constructed from Eastern White Pine stained<br />

with natural tree oils with a roof covered in fibre glass<br />

shingles. From the road side, the home looks like it’s<br />

on one level, but as the property slopes down towards<br />

water, on the other side, you can see the two levels.<br />

Each floor has 1450 sq. ft. of living space for a total of<br />

2900 sq. ft.<br />

Jamie collaborated with the couple throughout the<br />

process. With all Discovery projects, the client can use<br />

Discovery certified builders, or can arrange for their<br />

own contractor. In this case, Debbie and Shain went<br />

with Discovery’s recommendation of Rob Moore of<br />

Rockwood Construction in nearby Warsaw.<br />

After Jamie showed them one of Discovery’s homes on<br />

Pigeon Lake, Debbie and Shain decided to customize<br />

The main floor features a high vaulted ceiling<br />

providing airy spaciousness. Large windows on both<br />

sides let in copious amounts of light with beautiful<br />

views of the river. Debbie and Shain love that they can<br />

walk in the front door and see through the windows to<br />

the outside. Naturally coloured curved timber accents<br />

in the ceiling and in the corner lap end cuts bring the<br />

outside in.<br />

Debbie and Shain are happy with the big, open space,<br />

where the kitchen, living and dining rooms flow into<br />

each other. They enjoy sitting on the couch to watch<br />

the sunset in the evenings.<br />

Interior design was completed in part by Abby Naylor,<br />

founder of Grace Interiors. Abby is a close family<br />

friend of Debbie and Shain, so helping them design<br />

their dream home was a project near to her heart from<br />

the beginning. Every design selection was intentional;<br />

from the choice of paint used on the kitchen island<br />

(Benjamin Moore, Feather Gray), to the earth-inspired<br />

brick selection for the fireplace surrounds. Abby’s goal<br />

was to create a space that blended the best of nature<br />

with modern functionality, all while honouring the<br />

family’s indigenous heritage.<br />

Facing the water with lots of natural light, the walk-out<br />

lower level has three bedrooms, a bathroom and a rec<br />

room.<br />

“One of the oak trees on our property was used to<br />

build the staircase,” says Shain. “It was nice to have<br />

some of the surrounding nature incorporated inside.”<br />

“I would highly recommend Discovery and Rockwood<br />

Construction any day – they inspire a high level of<br />

confidence,” says Debbie. “Our home is so bright, airy<br />

and comfortable all through the year. We can’t wait to<br />

get home to spend time there.”<br />

Discovery is known for its energy-efficient homes<br />

and this home is no exception. The home has a<br />

high-efficiency electric forced air furnace with air<br />

conditioning and in-floor radiant heating in the<br />

bathrooms. Blown-in blanket system (bibs) insulation<br />

was completed by Stevens Insulation in Millbrook,<br />

the company Debbie and Shain’s son Ryan works for,<br />

and spray foam insulation was installed in the ceiling,<br />

gables and basement walls to make for a well-sealed,<br />

air-tight four-season home. The logs themselves on the<br />

18 KAWARTHA COTTAGE JUNE 2023


main level are their own insulation using a calculation<br />

of thermal mass efficiency.<br />

When working with clients, Jamie Henderson, with the<br />

help of the Discovery team, aims to make the building<br />

process a pleasurable experience, and is always there<br />

to answer any questions they might have.<br />

KAWARTHA DOWNS<br />

Your Destination<br />

for Entertainment<br />

Kawartha Downs is thrilled to announce their<br />

best lineup yet for their outdoor summer<br />

events calendar.<br />

“Last summer was our first event season postpandemic<br />

and as good as it was, this summer will be<br />

bigger and better,” says Summer Nickerson-Hagen,<br />

Marketing Director at Kawartha Downs. She explains<br />

how Kawartha Downs has grown to be a destination<br />

entertainment venue for the whole family, offering a<br />

wide range of concerts, motorized sport events, weekly<br />

harness racing and new this year, their Kawartha<br />

County Fair.<br />

Kawartha Downs had been a harness racing and motor<br />

sports track for decades, loved dearly by those loyal to<br />

both forms of sport. The last two years marked a shift<br />

towards an expanding destination for summer fun that<br />

now includes concerts, fireworks and a wide range of<br />

new entertainment.<br />

The Kawartha Smackdown Demolition will take place<br />

on June 17 followed by live music from 4 p.m. to 6<br />

p.m. and harness racing at 7 p.m.<br />

“All of our motorized events, including the Monster<br />

Madness Tour and the Kawartha Smackdown, are<br />

thrilling events that bring a lively crowd to see a wide<br />

range of powerful vehicles,” Nickerson-Hagen says.<br />

Last year’s fan favourite was the Kawartha Country<br />

Music Festival on Canada Day weekend.<br />

This year, Country Fest has expanded to two days and<br />

includes an all-Canadian lineup that rivals any other<br />

music festival in Ontario. The Bailieboro hometown<br />

hero, Jade Eagleson returns to the stage on Saturday,<br />

July 1 followed by headliner Dean Brody and ending<br />

with jaw-dropping fireworks. Sunday, July 2 opens with<br />

rising country music star Sacha followed by the James<br />

Barker Band and The Reklaws musical duo. Tickets are<br />

available now on their website or at TicketWeb.ca.<br />

New this year will be The Kawartha County Fair which<br />

will take place on August 4, 5 and 6 with events every<br />

day.<br />

“We’re still finalizing our line-up for the fair, but it<br />

will include a tractor pull, a demolition derby and<br />

a concert,” says Nickerson-Hagen. “Our emphasis is<br />

on having something for everyone and to give the<br />

surrounding community a weekend they can look<br />

forward to each year.”<br />

their signature tractor pull on day 1, a demolition<br />

derby on day 2, a live music concert on day 3 and<br />

Last year, Kawartha Downs built a brand new,<br />

permanent pulling track that experts at the Ontario<br />

Truck and Tractor Pull Association have billed as “the<br />

best track built in Ontario.” The specially designed,<br />

400-foot track is made from carefully curated layers of<br />

clay and a robust draining system.<br />

On July 22 and 23 and September 2 and 3 will be the<br />

fan favourite truck and tractor pulls featuring the best<br />

competitors in Canada. This event was so popular<br />

last year that it ran until the late hours of the night,<br />

prompting Kawartha Downs to expand to two 2-day<br />

events on different weekends.<br />

Last year harness racing at Kawartha Downs celebrated<br />

its 50th anniversary, which continues to grow as a<br />

weekly event running from May 20 to September 23.<br />

Everyone is welcome to join in on the action and place<br />

their bets throughout the evening.<br />

“If you haven’t checked out harnessing racing at<br />

Kawartha Downs, I highly recommend coming for an<br />

exciting evening this summer,” Nickerson-Hagen adds.<br />

The official race calendar can be found on the harness<br />

racing page of their website.<br />

eat at their newly renovated Grandstand Dining Room<br />

overlooking the Kawartha Downs horse track. Open<br />

during dinner on harness racing dates, the restaurant<br />

has excellent views of the races from every seat in the<br />

house. Reservations are recommended for their buffet<br />

service dinner. Pre-event dinners are also offered at<br />

select events. All of their family-friendly events have<br />

free parking and take place rain or shine. Visitors<br />

BIGLEY SHOES<br />

A Fun Se<br />

the World<br />

By Joanne Culley<br />

Dolly Peel, marketing director at Bigley Shoes and<br />

Clothing, says that Bigley’s is fully ready for the<br />

wedding season and that she’s thrilled to hear of<br />

so many fun and exciting events taking place this season.<br />

“We’re so happy that we can help you look your best<br />

at your upcoming events with our great selection of<br />

wedding guest dresses in all styles and sizes to make you<br />

look wonderful this summer, whether it’s for a casual<br />

garden or dock-style wedding, or one taking place at a<br />

more formal venue,” says Dolly.<br />

Bigley’s carries dresses in a variety of lengths, from<br />

mini and midi, to longer maxi hems, depending on the<br />

formality required.<br />

For over 110 years, Bigley Shoes and Clothing has been<br />

a shopping destination experience like no other in the<br />

heart of Kawartha cottage country, with ten stores under<br />

one roof. From casual to high-end fashion, Bigley’s is a<br />

one-stop shop for the whole family.<br />

“Our range of mother-of-the-bride dresses makes your<br />

shopping easy, and the dresses can be paired with purses<br />

or clutches in different styles, along with bridal shoes,<br />

available in everything from glitzy to classic, in block,<br />

high or flat heels,” she continues.<br />

They carry the Simply Southern brand which offers crew<br />

necks, matching snap-back hats and cosmetic bags that<br />

Dolly says would be fun to wear at wedding-related<br />

events such as bachelorettes, rehearsals and bridesmaid<br />

gatherings.<br />

One big trend that Dolly has noticed this year is that<br />

bright colours are back, in hot pinks, bright emerald<br />

greens and stripes.<br />

“We have a huge selection of ladies’ wear in bright<br />

colours,” she says. “It’s definitely shaping up to be a fun<br />

season in the world of fashion.”<br />

Bigley’s carries a new brand of denim, Mother Denim,<br />

along with Levis, and DL1961.<br />

like them stiff, some stretchy, some flared – we have<br />

something for every taste,” she says.<br />

of shoes and sandals for the entire family. Birkenstock<br />

Bigley’s selection of over 25,000 bathing suits in their<br />

exciting,” she says. “Nothing makes the Bigley’s Beach<br />

House team happier than seeing our customers leave<br />

feeling confident and inspired.”<br />

Customers enjoy Bigley’s unique atmosphere, touring<br />

around the different buildings in the store, then topping<br />

off the day with an afternoon pick-me-up upstairs in the<br />

LAKESHORE DESIGNS<br />

...creates fun hangout space in bunkie<br />

By Joanne Culley<br />

Cheryl and Mark have recently taken over Mark’s<br />

family’s cottage on Buckhorn Lake that had<br />

been in the family for over 50 years. They<br />

were looking to make some updates to make it more<br />

accommodating for family gatherings. In particular,<br />

they wanted to refresh the bunkie/boathouse which<br />

had an unfinished upper loft area where they were<br />

hoping to add more living and sleeping space.<br />

“The bunkie/boathouse is about 18 years old and had<br />

an empty space on the second level, with a beautiful<br />

view of the lake and wrap-around decking,” says<br />

Mark. “We wanted to make better use of the space and<br />

thought it would be a great place for the kids to hang<br />

out and have sleepovers.”<br />

The couple had seen the work of Angela Jones, owner<br />

of Lakeshore Designs, on the Princess Margaret Dream<br />

Cottage she designed on Buckhorn Lake, and they<br />

were inspired to check out the projects on her website<br />

and on the Houzz app. They liked what they saw.<br />

kids and their friends. To that end, she designed three<br />

distinct areas – for sleeping, eating and games, and<br />

sitting.<br />

“To make the most efficient use of this space, we<br />

created a row of three custom single beds under<br />

the cathedral ceiling, with pullout trundle beds to<br />

accommodate six kids,” says Angela.<br />

Drawing on the boathouse below, Angela chose a<br />

nautical theme to create a cottagey, beachy vibe on a<br />

palette of blue and white with navy blue accents. Ship<br />

lap on the sloped ceiling, round nautical windows,<br />

seagrass, and a jute rug carry on the theme. More light<br />

comes in through the larger windows and a larger<br />

glass door that leads to a covered patio overlooking<br />

the lake.<br />

The snack and beverage bar boasts a sideboard with a<br />

fun, red retro fridge underneath, and a table to eat at<br />

or enjoy a game of cards.<br />

In Angela’s consultations with the family, she learned<br />

their vision was to create a gathering space for the<br />

The cozy couch and ottoman are a great spot to relax<br />

and read a book or talk to friends.<br />

PETERBOROUGH<br />

MUSEUM &<br />

ARCHIVES<br />

In April 2023, quilled birch bark makaks (baskets)<br />

made by women of Rice Lake Village (now, Hiawatha<br />

First Nation) arrived at the Peterborough Museum<br />

& Archives (PMA) for an extended loan visit from the<br />

Royal Collection Trust in England, where they have<br />

been cared for since they were given to the young<br />

Prince of Wales in 1860. The makaks are the focus of an<br />

exhibition titled, “To Honour and Respect: Gifts from the<br />

Michi Saagiig Women to the Prince of Wales, 1860”.<br />

This exhibition unpacks the meanings carried by the<br />

makaks: the cultural knowledge that went into their<br />

making and their presentation, the cross-cultural<br />

diplomacy and expectations of Nishnaabe gifting, and<br />

the love, respect and hope that went into these gifts.<br />

By 1860, the women of Hiawatha First Nation were<br />

known for their skills as quillworkers, having won<br />

prizes at the local county and provincial fairs. Early in<br />

the summer of 1860 – in anticipation of the Royal visit<br />

– the Superintendent of Canada West, Central District,<br />

W.R. Bartlett visited most of the bands within his district<br />

to rally support for the occasion and to inform each<br />

community on what to prepare. It’s likely that Bartlett<br />

asked the women at Rice Lake to create quilled birch<br />

bark gifts for the Prince of Wales.<br />

IMAGES ©ROYAL COLLECTION TRUST/HM KING CHARLES III 2023<br />

Interwoven Basket Heritage<br />

the Great Lakes region. The designs on the makaks<br />

displayed the women’s own Anishinaabek traditions.<br />

In all accounts of the Prince of Wales’ visit, women were<br />

absent from any official presentations. They were present<br />

as spectators, workers preparing luncheons and as dance<br />

partners at the public balls, but they were never at centre<br />

stage. Quite often, credit for Indigenous women’s work<br />

is unidentified in museum collections representing this<br />

period. It is therefore extraordinary to know the names<br />

of the women who created the quilled makaks as gifts<br />

for the royal visitor. We know this because the baskets<br />

were preserved with the names written on directly on<br />

them, on a piece of paper, or in some instances, quilled<br />

onto the birch bark. To learn more about them, we have<br />

used census records, village history, settler letters, and<br />

community consultation. We now know how old each<br />

woman was in 1860, allowing us to consider them as<br />

practicing artists with the benefit of life experiences, skills<br />

acquired over time and the recognition that they were<br />

passing on their knowledge to other women.<br />

“To Honour and Respect: Gifts from the Michi Saagiig<br />

Women to the Prince of Wales, 1860” will be on display<br />

through mid November 2023 at the Peterborough<br />

Museum & Archives.<br />

The baskets are decorated with both floral and<br />

geometric motifs, bringing together old and new<br />

designs, which reflects the changing experiences of the<br />

Mississaugas people of Rice Lake and more widely,<br />

OVERHEAD DOOR COMPANY<br />

Opens New 3,800 sq. ft.<br />

Peterborough Showroom<br />

For over 43 years, the Overhead Door Company<br />

of Peterborough has been providing customers<br />

with the largest product selection of garage and<br />

boathouse doors, security shutters, habitat screens,<br />

electric bug screens, storage and other door solutions<br />

in different styles, types, textures and colours, as well<br />

as offering door accessories.<br />

Because of the growth in their business, they’ve just<br />

opened a new, expanded 3,800 sq. ft. showroom at<br />

871 Webber Avenue in Peterborough.<br />

“We’re happy to continue to provide the most<br />

innovative and extensive products and services<br />

for your home, cottage or business,” says Ron<br />

Beausoleil, owner. “We now have more space for our<br />

administrative and sales staff, a dedicated service<br />

team, along with warehouse for storage and repair<br />

facility in the rear.”<br />

“New garage door openers and doors have many<br />

more features than in the past,” he continues. “Most<br />

of the latest operators are powered by a direct current<br />

motor that is next to completely silent, and offer<br />

variable speeds so they are capable of soft starts and<br />

stops reducing wear and tear on the door system.<br />

Further to that, security has been greatly enhanced.<br />

All units come with rolling code transmitters and<br />

keyless but the higher end units have built-in security<br />

cameras and are controllable from anywhere in the<br />

world from your smartphone. Gone are the days of<br />

leaving your home or cottage and wondering if you<br />

left the garage door open. It is also a handy tool for a<br />

vacation property if you have service people there to<br />

do repairs. All they have to do is call you and you can<br />

permit entry by your phone.”<br />

Another product that Overhead Door Company of<br />

Peterborough has adopted to its product line is Gate<br />

Automation.<br />

“Gate Automation is something that we have always<br />

been involved with more in our Commercial /<br />

Industrial division, securing factories and generally<br />

prohibited entry areas,” he says. “Residential security<br />

gate systems have been increasingly popular over the<br />

past five years and they offer all the same access and<br />

security systems as the garage door operators. It is<br />

just a natural fit for us.”<br />

Their highly-trained technicians can tackle garage or<br />

boathouse door problems of any size and complexity.<br />

From troubleshooting door handles to major repairs<br />

such as replacing broken panels, their team has the<br />

hands-on training to work on all doors. They can<br />

perform most repairs on-site. Their 24-hour repair<br />

service can handle any problems you may have, such<br />

as a door jam or break-in. Their new paperless system<br />

allows you to send a text or information through<br />

their website.<br />

They serve the Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland,<br />

Clarington, Lakeshore, Prince Edward County,<br />

Haliburton, Hastings, Durham and Peterborough<br />

County. For more information, please call<br />

as independent as you wish and include additional<br />

services such as dinner meal plan, housekeeping and<br />

medical alert on a fee for service, if or when you<br />

require them.<br />

landscaped gardens and an enclosed heated walkway<br />

Boaters Helping<br />

Other Boaters<br />

As summer approaches, everyone is anxious to<br />

return to on-the water activities on our beautiful<br />

lakes and rivers. For some, boating presents a new<br />

challenge. Our mandate is to build boater confidence<br />

by providing educational information that touches on<br />

navigation, weather, safety equipment, rules of the road<br />

and more.<br />

Operators are required by law to have a PCOC – a<br />

Pleasure Craft Operators Card. Getting your card is<br />

easy. Please go to https://boatlicencecanada.ca to sign<br />

up and take the course. And check out our current<br />

YouTube video https://youtube/kcs1htLwzvw<br />

Enrolling in our CPS-ECP Boating B2&B3 course is<br />

an excellent starting point. You will expand your<br />

boating knowledge as you learn navigation skills and<br />

boat handling techniques. Our course is taught by<br />

seasoned instructors with 60 years combined boating<br />

experience. You will engage in weekly, virtual reviews<br />

with instructors and other students and will benefit<br />

from a personal mentor as you tackle course material.<br />

Check out our course calendar in the late fall for 2024<br />

courses.<br />

If you have a VHF radio on board, you will need a<br />

restricted operator’s licence (ROCM). Peterborough<br />

Every boat is required by law to have mandatory safety<br />

equipment, specific for their size of vessel, as listed<br />

in the Transport Canada Safe Boating Guide. It is also<br />

important the everyone on board have an approved life<br />

jacket (PFD) that’s appropriate for your age and size.<br />

times while underway because, statistically, PFDs save<br />

lives. We also undertake Recreational Vessel Courtesy<br />

equipment. Being prepared can prevent hefty fines<br />

from the OPP for missing equipment.<br />

family has been building outstanding projects in<br />

Lindsay and surrounding area for over 50 years. Don<br />

Wilson Construction Co. Ltd. and MVW Construction<br />

anticipated four-storey condominium will be coming<br />

to this community in the future.<br />

Victoria Station Condominium is meticulously<br />

planned, featuring ten different models of one<br />

and two-bedroom suites. An open concept with a<br />

glass balcony or ground-level terrace provides a<br />

sophisticated and functional design, and the freedom<br />

to choose from a selection of finishes allows the<br />

new homeowner opportunity to bring their taste and<br />

style to their new home. This new development will<br />

include underground parking, two large lobbies and<br />

guest suite on the main floor, and a party room and<br />

exercise room complete with balconies on the top<br />

floor.<br />

Close to Kawartha cottage country and the home<br />

to Lock 33 on the Trent-Severn Waterway, Victoria<br />

Station is adjacent to unique shops, theatres, dining,<br />

concerts at Victoria Park, and walking trails. This<br />

makes Victoria Station truly a location where you can<br />

CLAUDETTE on the KEYS<br />

A Novel<br />

Inspired by a true story, a female pianist follows<br />

fortune but instead finds fascism on the rise in this<br />

tale of intrigue in pre-war times.<br />

“Claudette is a wonderfully plucky heroine who<br />

is willing to risk it all to provide for her young<br />

family. Culley brings the musical world of Toronto,<br />

London and Berlin to life with an intriguing<br />

mixture of real-life and fictional characters.”<br />

Dan Needles, creator of the Wingfield Farm plays.<br />

Second World War Letters<br />

“The Second World War was a hate-filled time<br />

for many people but not for two Canadians<br />

whose love affair triumphed over violence,<br />

tragedy and separation.”<br />

and Governor General’s Award Winner<br />
