Sally’s View of the River

We have been in business at Sunny Rock B&B for 15 years…yes I said 15. Holy Cow! Anyway what that means is that we have had just under 5,000 visitors. Translation is that we have made a few beds in our 15 years. In 2003 when we built the new Timberframe addition that included the new 1200 square foot sun room (with the 28 windows) we also added 2 new bedrooms above (the Riverview and the Fallsview Suites).

These 2 Suites by far have been the most popular and so therefore the beds have has allot of visitors. We are very happy to say that we have found the perfect replacement for them and they are now in place and ready for your visit.

The Pine Studio now also has a new addition…a Queen Bed. Holy what a wonderful addition that is to that already wonderful space.

I haven’t taken new pictures yet however when I do I will be sure to post them on our website.

It will be our pleasure to welcome you to this new and improved feature of Sunny Rock. Have you planned your winter holiday yet?

We recommend your winter include Winterdance Dogsledding…mention Sunny Rock when you make your afternoon reservation in January through to March. We recommend the afternoon as I am sure you will be wanting to linger over our huge gourmet breakfast.

hope to see you soon. Sally

Sandra Hawkins: The Ecology of Narrative Space
Exhibition continuing until November 15
The title of this exhibition, Ecology of Narrative Space, refers to the intersection of personal and public experiences and our filtered perceptual memories that affect identity in the present. The exhibition shows thirty photomontage prints titled, Arctic Crisis Project, Parts 1 & 2, and an insitu installation titled, Water Leak involving an aerial video projection. Through aesthetic poetics of composition, light and sound, the artist repositions personal and public experiences in the Arctic thirty-years ago into a contemporary aesthetic and socio-environmental discussion on identity.
Sandra Hawkins is the author of “The Business of Art” and a popular workshop presenter.
