At the end of February join us at DeLeon White Gallery in Toronto to support the Pouch Cove Foundation. Since its inception in 1990, The Pouch Cove Foundation has provided a retreat for more than seven hundred visiting artists from around the world. The Foundation is located in a small town of the same name (pronounced pooch) twenty minutes drive north of St. John's, the capital of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Foundation is a not for profit organization that receives no operational funding from any arts council or government agency. It has been self-sustaining through the support of its founders and the participant residents.

The aim of the 2008 fundraiser is to bring the main residency and studio, an old school house, up to 2007 National Building Code standards and allow Pouch Cove to remain a center for creativity.

Preview: Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 12-8pm

Auction: Thursday, February 28th, 2008, 8 pm.

Location: Deleon White

PhotoSensitive is inviting Canadians to pick up their cameras, reach into their communities and capture portraits of people whose lives have been affected by cancer. Founded in 1990, PhotoSensitive is a non-profit collective of photographers committed to harnessing the power of the camera to achieve social goals. The Cancer Project is an initiative to increase Canadians' awareness of how deeply this disease affects our society.

The goal is to engage Canadians in the fight against cancer through the faces of those closest to us – family, friends, neighbours, co-workers and colleagues – and their stories of hope, loss and survival.

Participation in The Cancer Project is open to all Canadians. Photographs can be submitted in JPG format to james@photosensitive.com. They must be accompanied by a signed release form as well as a caption of around 30 words, giving a description of the photo's subject/s and how they have been affected by cancer. Closing date for submissions for the Toronto exhibition is February 29, 2008.
PhotoSensitive also welcomes donations to help bring this ambitious project to fruition.
The exhibit will be edited by PhotoSensitive.

Join Adventure Canada this May as we explore the magni?cent fjords and spectacular islands of the Great Bear Rainforest on the British Columbian Coast. We'll travel aboard the 66 ft sailboat Achiever enjoying birds as well as grizzly and black bears, whales, and possibly wolves among pristine watersheds of towering forests. Heading up this wildlife-rich itinerary are Adventure Canada guides, Cam Gillies, Heidi Krajewsky and Stephen Stephen Anstee.
