This book tells the story of a very special group of kids and their adventures at Rainbow Art Club at Studio Dreamshare in downtown Pembroke, ON. It is also the start of our memory-keeping as a queer community here in the Ottawa Valley. We have so many more stories to tell, but this is a start. We could have told the stories of hardship and suffering we have had to and continue to endure, but these portraits and words of wisdom are about our resilience and living in our truth and rainbow joy. Through the eyes and words of our youth, with stories and resources from inspiring community elders and allies, come along with us as the story unfolds.These pictures and captured moments are a snapshot of our own rural rainbow today in the Ottawa Valley.Supporting Grant: Emergency Community Support Fund, United Way East OntarioOrganization: PFLAG CanadaProgram delivery: Studio DreamshareProgram Coordinator: Dorian PearceTechnical Assistant: Gabriel PearceArtists: Cameron (Dreamshare) Montgomery, Brie Birdsell (Vulvaluv), Lyn Li, Marie-Josée Arsenault, Böena Hrycyna, Rose Bennett, Tiffany Jelleau-WilkeVolunteers: Jill Holroyd, Paige Neuman

Youth artists in the Ottawa Valley met with adults in the summer of 2021 at Studio Dreamshare in Pembroke, ON to create a collaborative community arts response to climate change and the state of the environment in our communities. Through a series of photographic art pieces and poetry, this book offers a snapshot of how our community is reacting to climate change on a grassroots level, and where we are going.  "Glimpses of Tomorrow" expresses sorrow, rage, disappointment, and helplessness, but also hope, inspiration, and strength. May we rise as a community to the challenge of our times: the unsustainable destruction of the lands we love. Contributing artists: Beth Goddard, ├ÿzen, Emery Verch, Lindsay St.Amour, Ainsley O''Hagan, Rose Bennett, Hilda Young, Tys Burger, Clare Leamen, Caroline Rex, Emma Pinto, Ki Myra, Meara Caughey, Argo Jackson-Beek, Cameron (Dreamshare) Montgomery.

WHAT IS CRITICAL RELIGION AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?Critical Religion''s entry point is the understanding that religion is not a thing that is simply there ''in the world''. While many people would claim that they know a religion ''when they see one'', there are ongoing debates in Religious Studies on how to define the very subject of the discipline, or whether it should be defined, or whether in academic discourse we should even have a term ''religion'' that is wrought with so many complexities and associations with conflict and violence.The word ''critical'' here should be understood in a positive sense: scholars of Critical Religion seek to illuminate the various uses of the category ''religion'' and reflect on the consequences that follow from some communities and their practices, texts, behaviours or objects being labelled as either ''religious'' or ''non-religious''. This edited volume contains contributions by the following authors:Fiona DarrochPaige MedlockFrancis StewartMelanie BarbatoPer-Erik NilssonAlexander HenleyCarolina IvanescuTimothy FitzgeraldBrian NailAndrew W.
