The Artist

By: Ed Vere

In this children’s picture book, our main character loves to paint. Having an incredible creative side and wanting more, she ventures somewhere new. The young artist adds colour and life to a once dull and grey city, bringing more vibrancy and joy to the town’s citizens with her creations. She’ll have to face struggles that every artist, young and old knows too well, colouring outside the lines and learning that imperfections can still be beautiful.

Co-founder Beth Triolet explained that the Windsor-Essex County area is quite unique in that while one community could be getting a storm, it could be calm a few miles away in another.

“We (Amherstburg) will get warnings that the rest of the county won’t,” said Triolet.

Rampersaud told those attending the presentation that there are three key ingredients for thunderstorms to occur – moisture, instability and lifting mechanism.

WE SEE actively tracks storms in their own vehicles and as Rampersaud noted that one time they were in Harrow and could see as far as LaSalle where it was so bright, they knew that hail was falling.

“Our eyes are always on the clouds,” said Triolet.
