Table Talk with Dee Lysak
This podcast, Table Talk with Dee Lysak, invites you to the eastern shores of Lake of the Woods with miles and miles of shoreline, ancient rock, and 14,522 islands. This is the Laurentian Plateau. Imagine yourself here, sitting with friends and family, around a kitchen table: listening. The stories are mine, to write and to tell. And, the tales - mostly fact, some fiction are centred around all that it means to be Canadian in an ever-changing world. The past will help us know where we came from and the present will ground us in our shared reality. I trust the words, all knitted together, will illustrate the world we live in. And, if we choose to act - individually or collectively: we can imagine and build an even better one. Life moves so quickly. Thank you for spending some unhurried minutes, with me - Dee Lysak.

Last week, I found the most incredible piece of art. It is a painting of a black bear cub on a tree, on a live edge wood plank. It is rustic and whimsical all at the same time. The colours of yellow, green and blue – simply pop! Thank you... April Jones for sharing your art with the world. This painting will bring joy to our home, for many years to come!
In Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls, we invite you to come for the summer and stay for the winter. Shopping local is sustainable. Shopping local is a circular economy. It has huge ripple effects. The dollars that stay in the community – do good things. Astrophotographers can pay home heating bills. Craft brewers can be philanthropic, giving back to well deserving charities and not for profits. Potters can host workshops with school aged children, making pinch pots that are filled with soup – made from locally sourced meat and vegetables. Farmers can buy more seed for spring and the list goes on and on.
If you can, support local businesses and shoppes with your words and your wallets.
