The Lakes District Arts Council’s twelfth season is off to a great start. Legendary guitarist and singer Stephen Fearing - along with Gary Craig on drums and John Dymond on bass - delivered a memorable performance to ÑÇÖÞÌìÌà Lake residents last week.

Twelve budding artists travelled to Granisle recently to hone their artistic skills under the tutelage of local artist, Steven Wilejto, who headed up a three-day painting class on creating water focused landscapes. The students left with still watered depictions of Babine Lake. The program, which was organized by the College of New Caledonia, was free thanks to donations from the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, Electoral Area G and the Village of Granisle.

The Lakes Animal Friendship Society (LAFS) held its tenth anniversary gratitude gala last Saturday. The generous community members who attended brought pet supplies, food and donations to help local critters. Lowry Olafson from Gibsons, B.C., entertained the crowd with humorous and heartfelt songs, including LAFS’ theme song. The crowd sang along to ‘Teach my person how to love me’ to help close the performance on a fitting note.
