Bernadette’s style is truly authentic and pays no attention to what conformity demands. She has a dynamic and expressive vocal range, earnest and emotional lyrics, and playful interpretation of song-craft.
Her full-length album Monarch was produced by Canada’s own John-Angus MacDonald (Guitarist for The Trews). It touches on the magic of small-town Ontario and highlights the importance of one’s local community. The project was truly a communal effort with local business, politicians, and community members coming together to bring the music to fruition.
Bernadette gives back to her community with the song “Georgina”, which gives the world a glimpse into what makes the small Ontario town so special. Her new music has a unique, yet classic sound that’s been missing in Canada, and can truly be described as Canadiana. Featuring some of Canada’s top musicians, and a voice that sounds just as good on stage as it does on the recording, Bernadette takes listeners on an intimate and exciting journey that resonates with audiences of all ages.

Collingwood, ON [28 June 2024] – Exciting news for Collingwood Residents! The new waterfront piazza park is set to transform our community between Huron Street and Side Launch Way, just west of Harbour House. Aligned with the existing Waterfront Master Plan and Shipyards Public Realm Plan, this project will provide high-quality design elements to enrich our public space along the waterfront.
Scheduled for construction in 2025, the next few months will see the design consultants collaborating with Town Staff, Stakeholders, and the Public to develop two concepts and refine a preferred plan, for Council consideration.
The Town strives to be inclusive to ensure residents can participate in discussions, engage in activities, obtain information, and provide feedback and opinions. Public Engagement is crucial to ensure a successful outcome. Please mark your calendars for the following opportunities to provide your input and ask questions:
Wednesday, July 10th – Public Engagement Sessions. Collingwood Curling Club Lounge, 250 Hume Street, Collingwood L9Y 4W3 (Second Floor).

Brook McIlroy, Architecture and Urban Design Consultants, developed the Waterfront Master plan in 2016, which is a vision for the Town on how to develop the public spaces along the waterfront. As private development around a key component of the Waterfront Master Plan became active, Council and staff felt it was important to move forward on the design of this space; a public park opportunity between Sidelaunch Way and Huron Street. This led to a need for consideration of how best to consolidate community interest and think about this unique and culturally valuable area in the community. Brook McIlroy was invited back to dig deeper into this specific area of the Waterfront Master Plan and assist the Town in planning for the implementation of the space through this Shipyards Public Realm Plan.

In response to multiple complaints, Ad Standards Canada recently found that advertising for fossil gas gave an “overall misleading impression … that B.C. LNG is good for the environment, amounting to greenwashing.”
The ads, by industry front group Canada Action, promoted the debunked message that so-called “liquefied natural gas” — which is mostly the deadly greenhouse gas methane — is good for the environment and climate because it can replace higher-emitting coal-fired power. “B.C. LNG will reduce global emissions,” the ads claimed over a bright green background. Other industry groups and gas companies are using similar messaging.
Although the standards branch has no enforcement power and doesn’t release its findings publicly, the issue illustrates the lengths to which the fossil fuel industry will go to keep profits rolling in, even in the face of disaster. (The decision was leaked by the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, which was not a complainant.)
For a relatively brief, albeit far too long, period of human history, global economies have run on coal, oil and gas. These fossil fuels appeared to be almost limitless, and could be quickly burned in gas-guzzling vehicles and factories, driving profits to the point that the industry became the most lucrative in history.
The fuels conferred real and imagined benefits for large numbers of people, offering mobility, heat and light, faster production and more. Used wisely, they might have provided a net benefit to humanity. But burned wastefully and rapidly in the name of greed and obscene profits, they’ve polluted air, land and water, harmed human health, reduced biodiversity and spewed climate-altering greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. We’re now reaping the consequences with heat domes, floods, droughts, illness, death, migrant crises, biodiversity loss, water shortages and more.
Most or all of the true benefits fossil fuels offer can be better realized with cleaner energy sources and less-polluting products — along with a shift away from wasteful, unnecessary consumerism.
As the consequences of burning coal for power and oil for transportation and more become clearer, the sector has seized on numerous survival strategies. For decades, industry executives and allies downplayed or covered up the evidence — some from its own scientists — that its products would heat the planet to dangerous levels if used as intended. Although that tactic is still employed, mounting evidence and real-life experiences of global heating have made it more difficult to fool the public.
So the industry is resorting to other plans — scaling up plastic production (plastic is an oil and gas byproduct) and touting the benefits of “natural” gas among them.
But fracked methane gas is far from natural and isn’t a climate solution. Throughout its life cycle, it devastates landscapes, pollutes waterways, uses excessive amounts of water (often in drought-stricken areas), consumes massive volumes of energy to process and liquefy and creates emissions during transport and burning.
Not only that, flaring and leaks from wellhead to power plant emit massive amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Methane, of which the gas is composed, is up to 87 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. It breaks down much faster than CO2, which remains in the atmosphere for centuries, but it causes a lot of heating while it’s there. That’s why reducing and eliminating it is a good, quick climate solution.
New research from the David Suzuki Foundation shows British Columbia’s rush to develop LNG is bad on every front, from economics to climate. Far from a “green” replacement for coal, LNG development locks up investment in fossil infrastructure, locks in emissions and locks out renewables. The International Energy Agency and others predict that LNG demand will drop precipitously as cheaper renewables are deployed at accelerating speed. A massive oversupply in gas is also being developed, much of it by low-cost competitors for Asian markets, where B.C.’s gas would be exported.
Every credible agency and person — from the International Energy Agency to the United Nations to universities worldwide and climate scientists everywhere — has warned that further development of gas, oil and coal will propel the world into irreversible climate chaos.
