SPORTBALL
PEACH KING CENTRE
Sportball provides non-competitive sports instruction for children ages 16 months to 7 years. We want kids to develop physical literacy and a life-long love of movement and sport. We place our emphasis on competence and confidence building, socialization and overall fun. If we asked one of our Sportball parents to dream up their child's ultimate class, it would probably end up looking a lot like our star program, Multi-Sport. Multi-sport classes keep children moving and engaged and send them home with new skills from a different sport each class. Please note Parent and Child Multi-Sport requires an adult to participate in each class. Winter

‘TO PLAY A DAREDEVIL’S ADVOCATE’ GRIMSBY PUBLIC ART GALLERY JORDYN STEWART January 13 – April 20, 2023 In the early 1900’s, during the height of daredevil activity surrounding Niagara Falls, one woman surprised everyone. Confined in only a whisky barrel, padded with a few pillows, Annie Edson Taylor became the first person to successfully plunge over the brink of the Horse Shoe Falls and survive. But what was her overall intention? In search of financial stability, Annie resorted to the most challenging entrepreneurial endeavor; challenging nature. In the shadow of her male counterparts - even with the Falls on her side - success was destined to be unattainable. ‘To play a daredevil’s advocate’ pays tribute to Annie and her performance, while asking the viewer to consider their individual relationships with this natural wonder. At what point has the Falls been positioned as a trophy or celebrity you need to photograph yourself next to?
Or beat in a match? Where does this inherent desire to challenge the Falls come from? At some point in time this perspective stuck - do we have the need to feel superior to the Falls or recognize our inability to. Jordyn Stewart (she/her) is an artist, educator and arts administrator. She received her MFA from the University of Waterloo and her BA from the University of Toronto, joint program with Sheridan College in Art & Art History. Her work has been programmed in spaces such as Art Museum, Hamilton Artists Inc., Trinity Square Video, Idea Exchange, and Gallery Stratford. In 2022, her work screened at the Small File Media Festival in Burnaby, BC and OORtreders Festival in Pelt, BE. Jordyn is currently teaching in the Department of Visual Studies at The University of Toronto Mississauga. She is a settler artist currently residing on the traditional territories of the Hatiwendaronk, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Six Nations of the Grand River (otherwise known as Niagara, Ontario). Opening Reception: Saturday, January 20, 2:00 – 4:00pm Free Zine workshop: Saturday, January 13, 12:00 – 3:00pm
