Blueberry Patches Abound with Blooms

As the best part of the growing season approaches, the local blueberry patches are looking spectacular, hinting at a great harvest.
Terri Bell 1 Jun 2025
No fertilizers needed here! Our blueberry patches are bursting with these gorgeous blooms, signaling a healthy and natural growing season.

A Promising Start to the Season

As the best part of the growing season approaches, the local blueberry patches are looking spectacular, hinting at a great harvest. The bushes are covered in thousands of pretty, bell-shaped blueberry flowers, making a lovely sight and suggesting a really good crop is on the way.

It’s really satisfying to see so many flowers without using any fertilizers. We’re fortunate our blueberry plants are growing naturally, showing how strong they are and how good the conditions are. The current growth is a source of excitement, especially because the patches are growing without any help from fertilizers.

All these early flowers suggest we’ll have lots of blueberries later in the summer. Everyone is feeling hopeful and excited about a tasty, naturally grown blueberry season.

April 1: Apply for the Under $100 Art Show in Winnipeg

Art Borups Corners 23 Mar 2026
In the 2026 Spring Arts Exhibition in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario, Inuit artist and filmmaker Eva Suluk showcases her acclaimed work from Isuma TV’s Inuit Makers series. Her eight-part documentary films capture traditional land-based practices, including caribou harvesting, butchering, and meat preservation, highlighting the intergenerational transfer of Inuit knowledge, skills, and storytelling. Shot in a meditative “Slow TV” style, Eva’s films provide an immersive glimpse into Inuit culture, northern Canadian traditions, and Indigenous heritage. Visitors can explore her work alongside visual art, photography, and interactive exhibits, connecting local audiences with northern Indigenous perspectives. Watch the full series on Isuma TV and experience the continuity of Inuit land-based practices and cultural storytelling.

Spring Exhibition 2026 welcomes Eva Suluk

Art Borups Corners 23 Mar 2026
This year’s Spring Arts Exhibition at the Dyment Recreation Hall in Melgund Township, Northwestern Ontario is proud to spotlight the powerful work of local Borups Corners artist Leanne Nicholson. Deeply rooted in the landscapes of northwestern Ontario, Leanne’s striking mixed-media practice—ranging from intricately painted skulls and antlers to evocative wildlife imagery—brings the spirit of the land into the space in a way that is both raw and deeply moving. We are excited to welcome her work into this year’s exhibition and to share her unique voice, shaped by nature, resilience, and lived experience, with the community.

This beautiful, but heavily worn, Volvo P1800 sports coupe—famous for its elegant design and starring role in The Saint—now sits quietly, its original red paint fading to purple. The distinct curves and chrome details are still visible beneath the rust, suggesting a glamorous life that ended here among the trees.
