Local First Nations, Métis and Inuit youth are exploring traditional and modern media during the Turtle Island Summer Arts Camp, continuing through July 25.

“The participants have been very excited to create their own works,” says Danielle Handsor, outreach coordinator for the UWindsor Aboriginal Education Centre. “Since the camp opened July 2, some of the activities have included making traditional hand drums, pyrography, wood tiling, a t-shirt quilt and energy painting.”

Campers will display some of their artworks in a public exhibition on Thursday, July 17, as part of the City of Windsor’s Open Space Project. The event runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. along the riverfront.

The University Bookstore is closed this week as staff moves its stock, paperwork and equipment to the newly-renovated location on the lower level of the CAW Student Centre, but marketing coordinator Martin Deck says it’s not entirely correct to call it a new location.

The Bookstore has inhabited several locations across the University’s 50-year history, including the last two years in Vanier Hall, a long-time stint as the south wing of the Odette Building, and an earlier incarnation in the basement of Leddy Library’s West Building.

“Very few people, however, remember the original University of Windsor Bookstore, on the lower level of the University Centre, as it was then called,” Deck says. “It was originally located in the room that later became the game room and is now the Student Centre Pharmacy.”

The space was designed by Douglas Buckner, and looked like this:

Deck invites anyone able to identify people in either of these photographs to contact him at 519-253-3000, ext. 3726.

The new Campus Bookstore will open at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 23. The Bookstore’s kiosk on the main floor of the CAW Student Centre will operate throughout the move, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Orders can also be placed online at www.bookstore.uwindsor.ca.

There still time to register for the 2014 Alumni and Friends Golf Tournament at Essex Golf and Country Club on Monday, August 11.

One of the area’s finest clubs, its Donald Ross-designed course hosted the PGA Tour’s Canadian Open in 1976, the LPGA’s duMaurier Classic in 1998 and the AT&T Canada Senior Open in 2002. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy this classic design, which features mature trees lining well-manicured fairways.

Apart from the golf, participants will also take in carefully planned and cared for gardens throughout the course and dinner in the beautiful clubhouse—modeled on an English county house.

The day includes a round of 18 holes with cart, lunch and dinner, a number of prizes and gifts, a raffle and live auction, for just $225 per person or $800 per foursome. Individual admission just to the three-course dinner is available separately for $70.

More information, including online registration, is available on the Alumni Affairs website.
