Some of our favourite shots of smiling faces at Wake the Giant. The festival returned with a bang on Saturday—the second edition was like nothing we’ve seen in Thunder Bay.
The festival was imagined as a way to welcome hundreds of Indigenous youth to the community and foster an environment of inclusivity through music. People were packed side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder, and shoulder-to-ass, for some. Minus the masks, it sure felt like 2019.😄

Meet Jeff Burke, the owner of @brulecreekfarms, whose stone-milled flour, cold-pressed canola oil, and baking mixes have become local staples. Burke does all the planting, harvesting, milling, bagging, transporting, repairing, and building—pretty impressive for someone who didn't plan on being a farmer.
“I was just going to process flour,” he explained to writer @tiffanyjarva. But, when the price of wheat was going through the roof in 2008 and there wasn’t much around, he started growing his own.

Walleye,
You provide a great thread to the culture seekers here in the bay. I appreciate the variety of articles, well thought out themes, and excellent format. Each month I anticipate the next issue, stopping into the Hoito to pick up a copy and read about a cool topic (the Neil Young T-bay history is one that comes to mind…) with the hum of hungry people providing a nice backdrop.
Just wanted to let you know you are doing a great job and to keep up the good work!
Evan
