MKC Director wins Tourism Champ award
On December 17, 2020 the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association (OVTA) celebrated the winners of the 2020 Ottawa Valley Tourism Awards during a virtual event. OVTA Awards celebrate the dedicated, creative and passionate tourism operators and individuals in the Ottawa Valley. 
Barry’s Bay resident, Stefani Van Wijk (inset) received the 2020 Marilyn Alexander Tourism Champion Award, a commemorative award recognizing an individual OVTA member who is an active tourism champion for the Ottawa Valley. As Director of the Madawaska Kanu Centre – a three generation family business – Stefani believes in working collaboratively and developing strong partnerships with local businesses and the community. “I’m so honoured to receive this award,” exclaimed Stefani Van Wijk. “Challenges make us realize what’s important in life and this year appreciation for the wilderness and outdoor recreation has soared. We’ve learned so many things this year and I’m hopeful we can move forward in a way that cares more about each other, our unique needs, our health, the land and the watershed.”
Good Ancestor Exhibition – call for proposals – deadline Feb. 8
As part of the broader Pop Up Art project which runs until 2023, Ottawa Valley Creative Arts (OV-CAOS) is now accepting submissions for the Good Ancestor Exhibition. This exhibit will explore our personal connections to the past — what we would ask our ancestors, if we could, and what we would tell our descendants. Artists have until February 8, 2021 to submit an application. And remember, you don’t have to consider yourself an artist to make artwork for a Pop Up Art exhibition. You may feel more like a maker or crafter or creative person; this exhibition is for you too.
For more information, click HERE to visit the Ottawa Valley Creative Arts website. You can also email to arrange a time for a telephone conversation: anya@ov-caos.org
