A collection of our stories from the BOQ
Quinte Home Builders’ Association members Brendan Troy and Simon Gutierrez of Belleville’s Alair Homes volunteered to build 650 feet of boardwalk at North Potters Creek Conservation Area, improving trails and protecting marshland habitat. They started their careers at Alair through different paths and now both share a strong commitment to community and love for the Bay of Quinte region.
HockeyStickMan has become a destination store that has found success by focusing on community and inclusivity.
Kam built Revive Studios as more than a barbershop. It’s a space where style, culture, and connection meet, bringing a sense of belonging to downtown Belleville.
When you step into the Presqu’ile Waddling Arts Centre in downtown Brighton, you immediately sense something special: not just a gallery but a thriving, community-driven hub. Founded by the Brighton Arts and Culture Council (BACC) earlier this year, the Centre is quickly establishing itself as a vibrant force in the region’s artistic landscape.
In 2019, my wife Debbie and I decided that we should cruise the Trent-Severn Waterway in the summer of 2020. The fact that we live just outside Calgary, Alberta, did not pose a problem for us, as we had already hauled our 2011 MacGregor 26M trailer/sailor sailboat across country two years before to cruise the Rideau Canal in time for Canada’s 150th birthday. We didn’t know at the time that this would result in us becoming part of the local boating scene for the next five years.
Chef Jamie Beeston bet on his instincts when he launched Barbacoa Boyz, a food truck rooted in bold flavours and even bolder belief in doing things differently. His story is one of quiet confidence, community, and carving your own path.

The 38th Annual Tyendinaga Traditional Pow Wow takes place August 9-10 in Tsi Tkerhetoton Park. Enjoy (and when an all-nations dance is called, participate in) traditional dancing, take in the beautiful regalia of participants and learn more about various Indigenous cultures. A big part of the culture is good food. You’ll be able to get corn soup (lyed or dried), Indian Tacos (toppings you’d expect on a taco, served on Fry Bread), strawberry drink, and Bison burgers. The event will feature over 90 Indigenous craft vendors selling handmade items like art and jewellery.
Let’s see what we got!
The Bay of Quinte RMB Land Acknowledgement

We recognize and acknowledge that we are living and working on the traditional territory of the Wendat, Mississauga, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee which includes the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka (Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte) with whom we work in direct partnership with.
This partnership focuses on the common goal of celebrating the region with the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka who are equal partners within the organization and at the Board of Directors table contributing to the mandate and operations.
This mandate includes listening to, learning from, and collaborating with the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka and actively incorporating their culture and heritage into the practice of responsible destination marketing and management of the region.
