Live Theatre

Image - The theatre is alive and well in Canada. However, we need more plays on strictly Canadian themes. More opportunity for participation by local talent. Also a greater awareness of the interest that does exist. We need more plays created around the traditions of our land. There are all kinds of stories to be told in Canada. We need playwrights who write plays that are set in Canada, and which have to do with our own country. Canadians are very eager for such theatre concerning themselves and our traditions. We are starting to get them, but we need more - especially on TV.    Perception by Ray Wegner

Playing Cards

Images. With playing cards a picture forms from the past. Family and neighbours joining in a friendly, jolly, happy time. Faces that are now gone, but still remembered. There is a lot of nostalgia attached to our visions.   Image and perception by  Ray D.W.

Sewing - picture of an old Singer sewing machine. 

World Skills Competition, Calgary, Alberta Sept.2009

This is more the professional, occupational sort of sewing than the hobby kind of sewing. The sewing machines are very modern. 

Some clothes made by a contestant from Switerland at the World Skills Competition Sept. 2009 in Calgary, Alberta. These clothes are the work of very highly trained students of sewing.
