On **Sunday, June 7th**, **discover two of Canada’s leading cultural institutions in one day with this special bus excursion from the Textile Museum of Canada to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.** Explore six exhibitions spanning contemporary fashion, textiles, Indigenous art, and iconic Canadian landscapes, while enjoying comfortable round-trip transportation between venues, and admission to both Art Gallery and Museum.

This day provides all participants with full access to **six exhibitions**.

Unfolding across galleries and over 30 exhibitions, you will trace the Museum’s evolution from the present day back to its beginnings in the 1970s. As an extension of that, \*[Taking Shape: Recent Acquisitions ](https://textilemuseum.ca/event/taking-shape-recent-acquisitions/)\*showcases a selection of artworks the Museum added to its permanent collection between 2023 and 2025. On our third floor, *[Always in Fashion](https://textilemuseum.ca/event/always-in-fashion/)* showcases an immersive exploration of Indigenous design languages and their transformative impact on the fashion landscape of the lands we call Canada and the United States.
On view at the McMichael are three exhibitions that offer historical perspectives and contemporary interpretations of landscape and place. *[Old Growth: Masterworks by the Group of Seven and their Contemporaries](https://mcmichael.com/exhibition/old-growth-masterworks-by-the-group-of-seven-and-their-contemporaries/)* brings together iconic paintings that capture the enduring power and vision of Canada’s early modern landscape tradition. *[Fresh Air: New Acquisitions in Context](https://mcmichael.com/exhibition/fresh-air-new-acquisitions-in-context/)* highlights recent additions to the collection, placing them in dialogue with historical works to reveal fresh perspectives on Canadian art. *[Early Days: Indigenous Art from the McMichael](https://mcmichael.com/exhibition/early-days-indigenous-art-at-the-mcmichael/)* presents important works by Indigenous artists, offering insight into the cultural knowledge, histories, and creative expressions that continue to shape the country’s artistic landscape.

For summertime fun, it's hard to imagine a better place than the Toronto Islands. It's so much more than a small amusement park, Chelsea Beach, and walking and bike trails. It's about growing up in Toronto. About the ten minute ride over on the ferry boat, and the memories that have made Toronto a summertime city. It's a stretch of land that is historic and fascinating, both geologically and socially as well. And a history that brings together the stories of Toronto from its founding.
The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse was constructed in 1809, and is one of the oldest structures in Toronto. It is best known for the ghost story of its murdered first keeper, John Paul Rademüller. But that's another story for another day.
The peninsula was partially severed by a storm in 1852, which created a sandbar that was dangerously thin, and the peninsula became an island permanently by a violent storm that cut out the eastern channel, two hotels on the island were also destroyed. The modern history of the Islands' begins here!
The Islands' have three main parts, and all three have their historic elements, the most being the western most island named for the Hanlan family. A spectacular hotel, "The Ned Hanlan" was built and a regatta course dredged out of the western lagoon. An amusement park followed, and an airport after that!
It was also a residential enclave with most of the homes appearing on Ward's and Centre Islands. By the 1950s these residential areas started to disappear, as the idea of increasing city parkland took shape.
**Take a quick peek at my introduction video which follows at** https://youtu.be/hkVHx5Ol9qI
The tour begins and ends at the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay Street. We will meet inside the gates! And we will head over as a group, so tickets must be bought before! Please meet 10 minutes before the meetup time!
This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person!

Columbus: Luke 3
"Do as I say, not as I do." Children tend to have a built-in ability to recognize hypocrisy quicker than many adults, and there are few children who will respect an adult whose actions do not match his or her words.
John the Baptizer wanted to make it clear that God himself is in NO way pleased by people who claim to follow Him and whose lives in NO way reflect His character. In fact, the Greek word for "actor" that people used in the first century is *"hypokrites"*. John called out the truth to any and all who would listen--from peasants to the king, even at peril of his own life and freedom--and insisted God does not judge by words alone, but by actions and in truth.
Luke Chapter 3 concludes with making it clear to the Jewish and Greek readers of the day that Jesus was not only the rightful King of Israel, but also the true Son of Man--the Son of Adam, Who came to provide a way for those who had followed Adam into sin to return to fellowship with God.
Take a look at Luke Chapter 3 and join us at **10 am,** **Sunday, June 28,** at **True Food Kitchen at Easton Town Center.** We'd love to see you there!

You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
Pizza and Duckpin Bowling!
