A collection of our stories from the BOQ
Get to know Marleen Murphy of Millside Ceramics in Kenhtè:ke (Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory), what inspires her work and some opportunities she’s had to share her art on a larger scale.
The Mayer Building at 371-385 Front Street, once known as the Reynolds Block, stands as a testament to Belleville’s growth and resilience. As the city evolved, the businesses within this historic location followed suit—honouring the past while embracing the vibrant future of the neighbourhood.
In the world of armwrestling, where strength and skill meet, Patrina Brooks shines not only for her remarkable accomplishments as a professional armwrestler but also for the steadfast network of support that has propelled her through the sport. To Patrina, armwrestling isn’t just a competition—it’s a way of life.
QUINTE WEST: THE RURAL RIDE Welcome to another edition of our Ride and Reward series. Join me on my adventures as I share my favourite routes (and rewards!) and discover some new ones too. You
Get to know Tina Nguyen, founder of XXL Scrunchie & Co. Her Belleville-based family business sells handmade scrunchies in just about every colour you could image and has expanded to include more products like hair claws, tote bags, pillowcases, clothing and accessories.
For most hockey clubs, the summer slows down.
Players rest up before re-focusing on their offseason training, staff begin to put together the bones of the roster they hope to ice in the upcoming campaign, and fans turn their attention to their favourite summertime hobbies. And, while those things are true for the most part for the Belleville Senators as well, the summer season is also a chance to strengthen community connections and keep hockey on the brain when the temperatures rise.
A new theatrical space is taking root in Quinte West that’s bringing a fresh, inclusive, and dynamic approach to community theatre. Quinte Little Theatre (QLT), an all-female run group, has embarked on a mission to reinvigorate the local arts scene with its unique blend of traditional and contemporary performances. The unity and passion they share are inspiring, bringing about a new chapter in the local arts community.
The third route in our series is The Waterways Ride in Greater Napanee. It’s a ride with a few hills that are worth it for the views over the Napanee river, Hay Bay and rolling countryside. The ride follows mostly paved shoulders on main and country roads, so good bike lights and bright clothing are a must. The loop can be done in under two hours.
The second in our Ride and Reward series is the Nature Lover’s rRde through Presqu’ile Provincial Park in Brighton. It’s a mostly flat, paved, and accessible ride that can be done in under an hour. Let’s go!
