Hamilton Today with Scott Thompson

The U.S. land borders are set to open, people are speculating that Justin Trudeau is readying to step aside, and William Shatner has been launched into space and returned safely! Scott covered all of that, as well as Facebook's attempts to rehabilitate its public image, and we heard from a restaurant owner affected by the remaining restrictions, who wonders why his business has been left behind by stadiums and arenas are allowed full capacity.

The Hamilton Today Small Business Spotlight

Tracey-Mae Chambers, local Métis artist whose work with encaustics can be found in galleries in New York City and have been displayed across Canada, as well as commissioned by the U.N., and even featured in the third season of Star Trek: Discovery in 2020. But in response to the revelations of Canada’s residential school history, as well as the pandemic, she took up a new medium as part of her Hope and Healing Canada project, creating installations out of striking red string in public and private spaces. Paid for mostly out-of-pocket, these interwoven temporary structures serve to decolonize the environment they inhabit and inspire a greater appreciation of our interconnected lives. She has started locally and is spreading out across the province and the country. One such installation can currently be seen outside the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

Guest: Tracey-Mae Chambers, local artist behind the Hope and Healing Canada installations (#HopeAndHealingCanada), encaustic artwork in galleries in New York and seen on Star Trek: Discovery https://www.traceymae.com/
