SUMMARY:Women\, Truth & Reconciliation: With Rose LeMay and Tanya Talaga
DESCRIPTION:What does meaningful reconciliation actually look like – and what role do women have to play in advancing it? \nJoin The Honest Talk for a special panel conversation in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation focused on what reconciliation looks like in practice\, not just in principle. \nFeaturing celebrated Indigenous author and advocate Rose LeMay and award-winning Anishinaabe journalist and author Tanya Talaga\, this conversation will unpack the realities facing First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuit women in Canada today\, as well as the systemic barriers that continue to shape their lives. \nTogether\, the panel will explore what real progress looks like across safety\, healthcare\, opportunity and representation\, and what it will take to turn reconciliation into meaningful action. \nHosts Jennifer Stewart and Catherine Clark will also explore the role non-Indigenous women can play in this work\, moving beyond awareness toward informed\, sustained and accountable allyship. \nBoth Rose LeMay and Tanya Talaga’s books will be available for purchase and signing following the event. \nSpecial thanks to our Lead Sponsor\, Deloitte\, for their support of this event.

SUMMARY:WHYGO at LIVE! ON ELGIN W/ Varitones and Sir Kingfish
DESCRIPTION:WHYGO at LIVE! ON ELGIN W/ Varitones and Sir Kingfish \nVARITONES:\nVaritones is a Rock and Roll band known for bringing the energy and feel of rock’s greatest eras forwards into the modern landscape. Through gritty riffs\, powerful vocals\, bombastic drums\, tight bass grooves and dynamic keyboards\, they seek to make their mark on modern music. On their latest album “From the Bedlam” (released June 2026)\, they deliver a diverse collection of songs that are raw\, uncompromising\, mysterious and overflowing with energy.\nThis sonic blueprint translates into an electrifying live show where everything is left on the stage. Where the amps roar\, the cymbals are bashed\, and most importantly\, all audiences are left blown away. \nSIR KINGFISH:\nSir Kingfish is an Ottawa-based four-piece psychedelic rock band with heavy influences from bands like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard\, Thee Oh Sees\, Frankie and the Witch Fingers\, and more. Specializing in the act of blowing minds (and eardrums) with INSANE-O sounds and a plethora of time signatures\, Sir Kingfish is taking over the world one show at a time. \nWHYGO:\nOriginally from New Glasgow\, Nova Scotia\, now based in Kingston\, Ontario\, WHYGO is a three piece alternative rock band with versatility\, taking inspiration from genres such as blues\, soul\, classical\, metal and virtually anything in between.\nConsisting of Bass\, Drums\, Guitar and three unique vocalists\, WHYGO uses their tight knit chemistry as a weapon when authoring heartfelt poeticism and composing graceful yet thrashing epics\, all with the deliverance and edge that the world has come to crave when they hear the words “power trio.” \nSeptember 25\, 2026\n220 Elgin Street\n8:00pm Doors \\ 9:00pm Show\n$10+fees in advance \\ or $15 cash at the door
