Please join us Saturday, October 10th from 2:00-3:00 p.m. for a Meet and Greet with author Susan Leon. Susan's debut detective novel is set in Thunder Bay. Atmospheric, emotionally intelligent, and intricately layered, the novel will demonstrate the rippling effects of violence and the courage it takes to rebuild. 

Every year, Entershine hires a local artist to produce five new designs for our popular seasonal bookmark program. We are delighted to announce that the artist for the July 2026 - June 2027 year is Shelby Gagnon.

Shelby Gagnon is a 2-Spirit Anishinaabe/Cree artist from Aroland First Nation but has lived in Thunder Bay for most of her life. She is an environmentalist and advocate for the lands, waters and Indigenous peoples. Through involvement with community-engaged organizations and projects involving food sovereignty and security, BIPOC youth advocacy, 2SLGBTQ+ collectives, she uses multi-disciplinary mediums to explore individual and collective healing by connecting and living in reciprocity with the Land. By working with youth, activists and other artists, she is dedicated to expanding her knowledge and contemporary take on traditional methods of art, food and healing practices with and for the community.
