**Altitudes** **A solo show by Lisa Johnson** **On view: February 12- March 15, 2026** **Join us for the Reception and artist talk on** **Thursday March 5, 6 -8pm** **Free!** ​ *Altitudes* is a solo exhibition by Lisa Johnson featuring works created during a residency in Pouch Cove, Newfoundland, in February 2025. Working primarily in oil on canvas, with a small selection of watercolours, Johnson depicts rugged terrain and cliffs from elevated vantage points. A sense of fog and stillness permeates the works, while confident, deliberate lines give the paintings a quiet momentum. ​ Balancing restraint and movement, atmosphere and structure, the layered compositions create a quiet drama, evoking a sense of epic scale and emphasizing the powerful beauty found in nature. ​ Through subtle shifts in tone, layered textures, and assured gestural marks, the paintings draw viewers into a meditative encounter with rugged landscapes, where stillness and momentum coexist. For more information on this show visit: [https://www.micakgallery.com/exhibitions-altitudes-lisa-johnson](https://www.micakgallery.com/exhibitions-altitudes-lisa-johnson) Micak Gallery is located in the heart of Aurora, ON in the St. Andrew's Village Shopping Centre.

Hi everyone, we will be having our first Artists who create meetup group at the food court (Near the A & W) of Erin Mills Town Centre, and we look forward to seeing everyone who can make it this coming Saturday, March 7th at 5 pm. This will be a very casual and fun moment to create, connect and engage in conversation as we work on our own art projects. I also look to have a theme for this session to ignite our creativity and give us something to go off of if we're starting from scratch. The theme is Life, and the powerful thing it can be to be alive despite all the uncertainty and struggles we might face. I will be providing some art materials for those who need them, but of course, it's highly encouraged to bring your own.

You can e-transfer to the following email at:** **torontohistorywalks@gmail.com** Let's connect and truly understand our city! That is the true path to peace! This walk is in honour of **Holocaust Remembrance Day**! This tour starts in the old "Ward" on the steps of Old City Hall, and ends at the Kiever Shul in Kensington Market. We will weave our way through Baldwin Village the real heart of the Jewish community in Toronto. Most information in books about Toronto's Jewish community tends to forget that Baldwin Village was the epic centre of the migration west out of the "Ward," and that the world famous Baycrest Hospital was established in Baldwin Village. The migration west continued in the early to mid twentieth century, and the Jewish residents established the Jewish Market in Kensington Market, and from there to Bathurst and Lawrence area. A fascinating story of heartbreak and heroism amid the horror of war and holocaust. An important walk for us all! A lesson from the past needed today! Along the way we will explore the history of the Jewish Community, The Christie Pits Riot, the infamous Swastika Club of Woodbine Beach, The Holocaust, and Toronto's place before, during and after this sad and tragic historical event. Our tour begins in the mid-19th century, and ends with the liberation of Europe in May of 1945. We will discuss ways to promote this history and how to tackle intolerance! This is our fifth annual event! This walking tour is for all walking levels and fitness skills. Please dress for the season and bring water. And remember to bring your love of history as well. Hope to see you there. This walking tour begins on the steps of Old City Hall and ends in Kensington Market.

The flight never reached London. It was destroyed by a suitcase bomb over the north Atlantic Ocean off the shores of Ireland, resulting in one of the most complicated and politically sensitive investigation in recent Canadian history. Since a vast majority of the passengers were Canadians, this was the worst terrorist attack against Canadians in our history. The outcome divided families and shone a spotlight on wrong doing at all levels here and abroad. A fascinating story, but a tragic one for the victims. This tour looks at the story in detail and the fallout. This tour also examines the history of the Humber Bay Shores, and the historic Mimico Creek, or "where the passenger pigeons take flight." The area is a walkers paradise as it follows the shoreline for great picture taking moments as well. If you have not explored Mimico and the Humber shores, or new to Toronto, this walk is for you. The price of this tour is $15.00 per person! This extensive walking tour begins at the Humber Streetcar Loop on Lakeshore Blvd and the Queensway! We end the tour at Mimico Avenue in Mimico Village on Lakeshore Blvd West. \*\* **Please note: Please e-transfer the ticket amount when booking your space for this tour!

❄️ WINTER STATIONS WALK + SOCIAL + LUNCH ❄️ Art, Architecture & a Brisk Boardwalk Adventure Why hibernate when you can bundle up and experience one of Toronto’s most imaginative winter traditions? Launched in 2014, **Winter Stations** invites the international design and art community to reimagine the lifeguard towers along Toronto’s east-end beaches for the winter season. What began as a bold local collaboration between RAW Design, Ferris + Associates, and Curio has grown into a global design competition, attracting entries from over 90 countries and transforming the quiet winter shoreline into an open-air gallery at the water’s edge. It’s creative. It’s architectural. It’s windswept and wonderfully Canadian. And it’s even better with good company. **Don’t forget to join our WhatsApp group** – [CLICK HERE!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/H59mSCbsAi018gYANrKAnc?mode=ac_t) \*\*\* ‍♂️ What We’ll Do We’ll meet at Woodbine Beach and walk along the boardwalk, stopping to admire and chat about each installation as we go.
