Yesterday was the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, a day established to recognized the removal of homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases by the World Health Organization on May 17, 1990.
While events happened around the world to recognize the day, a group gathered here in Corner Brook to march from Grenfell to City Hall.
Immaculate Heart of Mary recently put on a wonderful production of Wizard of Oz, featuring what seemed like hundreds of children. While the show has already passed, the school has put a trailer for the show online that is definitely worth watching for its cute factor. Check it out below.
With all of this tentacle business around town lately, Ryan David Butt wanted to try to get know the tentacle – what were its motives? Why Corner Brook? Was it true that it was in a relationship with Mark Smallwood?
Ryan succeeded in getting the interview, but… well, it didn’t go too smoothly, hence why I’m posting this video and not him.
Last night the City of Corner Brook, in partnership with The Western Star, handed out 21 Achievement in Community Excellence Awards at a reception at the Pepsi Studio. Check out all the awesome winners below!
The Brat Attack first came through Corner Brook in 2005. They came back through in 2006, and a few more times since then, bringing their Winnipeg-based brand of pop-punk rock to Corner Brook and across Newfoundland. However, if you saw them on Saturday night at The White Horse you might not have recognized them from the last time you saw them.
On Saturday morning about a dozen people gathered on the Majestic Lawn before walking five kilometres around town in solidarity with similar walks across the province.
The walks were to bring attention to the walk the Burton Winters took at the end of January when the 14-year-old from Makkovik got lost outside the town.
A record 50-ish young people packed into Brewed on Bernard on Wednesday evening for Open Stage for The Underage. The sorta-monthly open mic is aimed at giving young people a chance to try out the music, poetry, writing or whatever other performance they’ve been working on.
The Tentacle has struck again! This time, the Tentacle has struck directly at local artists, taking out Daniel Payne, Rodney Mercer and Jillian Parsons in one attack.
Improvements to the Corner Brook Skatepark have been a longtime coming, and now the City of Corner Brook is starting to do something about it. At last night’s City Council meeting, the Burlington, Ontario based Canadian Ramp Company was announced as the company to bring in some new equipment this spring.
Saturday night was a bright one! The supermoon rose over Corner Brook, getting lots of people talking. Check out some of the photos you posted on Twitter below.
