The Lunchbox 2020-06-12: Art Is A Dialogue
On today’s show:
- Today is Superman Day, so keep your eyes out for people in capes.. It’s also Peanut Butter Cookie Day and International Falafel Day, so we will eat well today!
- Saturday is Sewing Machine Day, and right now, it is the instrument of our times.. Or maybe you need to get outside? It’s also Worldwide Knit In Public Day, so salute all those people bringing the threads together.
- Sunday is World Blood Donor Day, so consider how you might be able to share some of your life, to save another’s. It’s also International Bath Day, Cupcake Day, and Bourbon Day, so sounds like it’s time for a spa (maybe at home).
- Service New Brunswick would like to remind you that you were only given a limited-time extension to renew your licence, registration, certificates and other permits. It’s time get your documents up to date, and fortunately you can do a lot of it online at snb.ca.
- Remember that the new displays of artworks in UNB’s working collection will be presented by the UNB Art Centre at 5pm on Friday. In Revelations, they hope to show works of many well-known and lesser-known New Brunswick artists, including works that are rarely seen. Visit their Facebook page for more details.
- This Saturday, the City will be doing a special curbside cleanup to collect the debris of the severe thunderstorm of last week. Have your materials bundled or bagged and at the curbside by 7am on Saturday. This is for smaller debris and yard waste only.
- Theatre New Brunswick has announced that it is doing Summer Theatre Camps. It has worked out safer ways to do it with respect to COVID-19, and will give kids (and parents!) a much-needed relief from being at home all the time.
- The Boyce Farmer’s Market will open on Saturday this week. While they have reduced capacity and vendors, it’s important for all of us to find ways to support them with patience and patronage. The market opens at 8am on Saturday and runs until 1pm.
- This Saturday at 1pm, there will be a Healing Walk in Memory & Justice for Chantel Moore, starting at City Hall downtown. Friends, family and allies are asked to join, but are also asked to respect the protocols established for the event.
- “All are welcome, but we ask that you take careful consideration of the details described in the Healing Walk Protocol, and follow the protocols earnestly. We acknowledge Dr. Imeda Perley (Opolahsomuwehs) for the composition of this Healing Walk Protocol.Chantel Moore’s Healing Walk Protocols
Brothers and Sisters, Elders and Youth, let us join our heavy hearts, our furious minds, our gentle spirits to follow the ancient tracks of our people to stand up for justice, to sing our songs of healing, to invoke all our spirit helpers to guide us towards our peaceful perseverance during this tragedy and pandemic.
We will walk in both silence and chants to honour our emotions and heal both our historical and contemporary agony of injustice.
We will carry our gifts of language to bless our purpose and refrain from using profanity that does not belong to our language.Our women will carry our gift of compassion in a bowl of water to be brought to a designated sacred place.
We will wear our ceremonial skirts and shirts to honour our nations colours and pride
Our voices will echo love not hate.
Our Smudging will help us to comply with our Wampum Laws of peace and to minimize displaying acts of anger that may disrespect our cause
Our Healing Walk should never be called a “protest”, this is not our traditional word, we instead use “Ikatomone”(eek-gut-moh-neh) which translates to “let’s guard” our way of life, our languages, our ceremonies, our rights to declare justice.
Our Sacred Drums will soothe our shared anguish as we converge our thoughts to healing Chantel’s family and her memory.
Our Sacred Pipes will invoke our power to connect to our ancestors who are walking with us within our DNA
Our Red Shawls will be a symbol for all MMIWG and their families.
Our Moccasins will allow us to walk with stamina a gift from our four legged relatives and mostly to leave our sacred tracks to honour those who went before us and to leave behind for those yet to be born!
Please keep in mind to follow our safety precautions of social distancing, hand sanitizing and wearing masks to remain safe from Covid-19.
———
Regardless of race or background, we ask that you follow the protocol. The protocols keep us safe, and maintain our intention. We encourage you to remember Chantel in these ways:
- Wear gold and yellow. Chantel’s catchphrase was, “stay golden!”. We honour her by wearing gold and yellow
- Wearing rainbows. Shortly after Chantel’s life was tragically lost at the hands of the police officer, a rainbow emerged in the sky.
- Wear your Indigenous regalia
- Bring your drums, shakers, art, and signs
- Show compassion, care, and courtesy in your expressions”
- “All are welcome, but we ask that you take careful consideration of the details described in the Healing Walk Protocol, and follow the protocols earnestly. We acknowledge Dr. Imeda Perley (Opolahsomuwehs) for the composition of this Healing Walk Protocol.Chantel Moore’s Healing Walk Protocols
- Today, we revisit two artists who use art to help understanding of marginalized or misunderstood groups. Natalia Sappier is an indigenous multi-disciplinary artist who joined me in 2019 to talk about her theatre-and-music project while in residency at the UNB Art Centre. Alex Rioux is involved in multiple aspects of theatre in the city, and joined me in 2018 to talk about the production of Fruit Machine.

The Lunchbox: 2020-06-04: Music Moves Us
In this show:
- Today is Hug Your Cat Day and Corgi Day. It’s also Old Maid Day. I don’t think those are necessarily related, but some folks might be able to triple down today.. Lucky!
- Tomorrow is World Environment Day. Don’t just hug a tree: plant one! Or clean up around one. Or figure out how you can prevent us from polluting our only planet..
- It was on this date in 1726 that the 1725 Treaty of Peace and Friendship was ratified by the Mi’kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot Nations – re-affirming Wabanahki hunting, fishing and planting grounds.
- The Roots and Soul Artist Takeover this Thursday night is Old Man Grant. They’ll be taking over the page all day from beautiful BC.

- Today, I celebrate music heartily, with a revisit with my 2016 interview with Jesse Brown and my 2015 interview of Merrideth the Stage Manager of the Voodoo House Stage at Harvest Jazz & Blues.
- This week’s Positive Songs For Pandemics from Lainie B is Valerie June. Also music featured from Kiwi Jr and Jesse Brown.

The Lunchbox 2020-06-03: Remembering
On the show:
- Its Repeat Day. Be sure to be on the watch for bad routines you need to break out of, or good habits you need to reinforce.
- I spoke with Carol Harquil in the summer of 2019 at the Fredericton Region Museum about her ongoing residency, where she practices traditional and modern Native Dressmaking.
- Mary Louise Macarthy and Jennifer Dow helped kick of my exploration of local history last fall with a discussion of Black History in NB.
- This summer will be missing one of the newest gathering spots: the Garrison Night Market has announced its decision to suspend operations for 2020. “… the night market’s popularity as a community gathering spot necessitates this temporary closure. … those people who have come to the market over the past 2 years and know how tremendously successful and crowded it has been will understand that the risk is simply too great. On a good night we’ve seen upwards of 6-8,000 people.”
- On a happier note, the Boyce Farmers Market is set to re-open this weekend, albeit with limited capacity and respectful, safety-related requirements. “The only entrance will be 665 George Street, where a washroom will be dedicated to handwashing and staff will direct shoppers to follow one-way directional signage. All vendors will wear community facemasks, and customers are strongly encouraged to do so as well. Additional staff will be on hand to ensure washrooms, doors and other high-touch surfaces are sanitized regularly. Eighty shoppers will be allowed in the market buildings at one time. Social distancing measures require vendors be spaced throughout the market, and businesses therefore may not be in their usual stall. “
- A number of outdoor recreation areas are set to re-open under the second phase of recovery. Getting outside and getting exercise will do many of us a lot of good!
News update:
- New Brunswick Public Health reported one new case of COVID-19 yesterday.
- Over 500 people took to the streets of downtown Fredericton yesterday afternoon to show support for a Black Lives Matter rally.

The Lunchbox 2020-06-02: Understanding
On the show:
- To try to gain some perspective in the question of who we are, I brought forward an interview I did with two researchers, Isabelle and Bianca from back in 2016. They were asking youth about how they identified themselves in the province, and what being a New Brunswicker meant to them for something they called The Identity Project.
- In 2015, I spoke with the UNB Elder-in-Residence Imelda Perley about an event called The Circle of Understanding. While it was five years ago, and the events that started things are many decades ago, it feels like conversations like this are more relevant than ever.
- There are two Black Lives Matter-related events coming up over the next couple of days.
- On Tuesday at 3pm, there is a Peaceful March starting at City Hall. Join to stand together and peacefully help support brothers and sisters fighting for justice in the US and in Canada. They ask that you please observe social distancing guidelines. See the Facebook event for more details.
- On Wednesday at 7pm, there will be a Black and Indigenous Lives Matter Rally in front of the Legislature. Stand and gather in support against the violence against people based on the colour of their skin. Please observe social distancing guidelines. See the Facebook event for more details.
- The Digital Tertulia scheduled for Wednesday night has been moved to 8:30pm, so that it does not conflict with the planned rally that evening. This tertulia is entitled, “The AIDS/coronavirus crises and lessons from queer activism”, and is being hosted by Karen Pearlston (a Professor of Law at UNB) and Jessi Taylor (from the Department of Gender, Race Sexuality and Social Justice at UBC). See the Facebook event for more details.
