It’s the long weekend
and you have three days to fill with family, fun and food…here are some of the
great events happening this weekend:
ZimSculpt, Royal Botanical Gardens
Stone
sculptures of Zimbabwe created right before your eyes. The award-winning Zimbabwean stone sculpture
exhibit, ZimSculpt at Royal Botanical Gardens runs to Monday October 8th.
Mining the richness of Zimbabwe’s geology, featured artists Patrick Stephani
and Passmore Mupindiko have created powerful works of art that depict the
stories of the natural world and the culture and traditions of their home land,
as well as abstract forms that are powerfully evocative.
ZimSculpt,
a non-political company based in Harare, Zimbabwe, represents over 100
sculptors from across the country. Royal Botanical Gardens is the exclusive
Canadian host of this award-winning Zimbabwean stone art exhibit. Over 300
hand-made sculptures will accentuate the blooms of Hendrie Park, creating a
unique outdoor gallery where visitors can view sculpture, meet the artists and
purchase one of these remarkable works.

A comedy
by Norm Foster - Directed by Tom Mackan, Produced by Peter Malysewich
Widely
praised, this terrific play comes with all of life's reality enough to keep
audiences totally involved, laughing and deeply moved at the same time. When
Foster gets his genius working on a relationship between a man and woman, the
exploration grabs us and keeps us fully engaged. Rudy and Norah meet quite
accidentally after over three years of divorce and they set off on a memory
trip of discovery that is classic in its telling. This is a near masterpiece of
writing with dialogue astounding in its understanding of people and how they
cope. And don't forget, ever so funny and moving for all that. Ticket
information available here
