T
he Mississauga Arts Council continues to grow;
we have retooled ourselves pursuant to a strategic
plan that had voted on at the Annual General Meeting
in the spring of 2013. We have reengineered many
of the programs that we are delivering to the general
community, and we have become more focused as
an organization.
Our Board continues to grow with the addition of a
variety of new members which reflect the increasing
sophistication of our city and the growth of arts and
culture therein. More so than in other years, we are
casting our net far and wide to be able to capture all
arts within the city of Mississauga, as well to have as
many communities engaged as possible. During the
course of this year, the President and the respective
EDs will be meeting with one another to try to
coordinate points of commonality in order to grow the
arts in a more focused manner.
Although it is very well and good for us to continue
to build on our MARTY Award successes, whose
winners you will see on these pages as well in local
media, it is necessary to continue to nurture and raise
awareness of the arts within our community. This we
achieve through programming where we highlight
varieties of artists and people such as Peter Rowe on
his adventures in filming and hosting a media summit,
as well as commencing the inaugural Mississauga
Youth Film Festival. We continue our project with
youth through the Limelight Association and expect
that it will start yielding results within the next several
years. With this investment in our future, we will
create a broader base and increase stability for the
arts within the City of Mississauga.
This is a fundamental aspect of what the
Mississauga Arts Council does. We cannot continue to
serve the same coterie of individuals; we have to seek
out, through use of staff and programs, new members
that will yield new ideas, bring in new directors, that
will provide new directions and policies which will
allow the Mississauga Arts Council to grow. In this
regard, I have been extraordinarily fortunate over the
last five years to have the benefit of the Board that
actually “did things.” All of the Board members were
engaged.
In this regard, I believe that the Mississauga
community has been very well served by the Board
and staff of the Mississauga Arts Council as we
cortinue forward. I ask that our readers not take this
for granted, it is not a given by any stretch of the
imagination. What is currently being presented by
the Mississauga Art Council is because of the hard
work of volunteers and staff who deliver a product
that continues to evolve and change and are never
complacent or comfortable in its success.
President Bohdan Shulakewych at the MARTYS
What we require in return from the arts community
is the promotion of the arts, of the Mississauga Arts
Council, far and wide, in order to make our city a
centre for culture and the arts, and to promote the
effectiveness of all arts organizations. Although I
am merely writing on behalf of the Mississauga Arts
Council, this goes for any and all organizations that
work hard to promote arts and culture within their
milieu.
To this end, I request and also encourage all readers
and all members to go out to your local organizations
this summer; contact us if you do not know who they
are, and ask questions and participate in the arts. As
hot as the summer can be, the arts are hotter. Please
be safe and enjoy all the art festivals that our city has
to offer. 

Executive Director’s Report
•
•
•
•
Designs it to spread;
Makes followers matter;
Ends with a big goal; and,
Creates a measurable difference.
One key part of spreading the word is telling a
story. The downside of that is that many think
their story tells itself, or they let the story be told
badly. We hear it from the media as they search
for the story that will get everyone to sit up and
take notice.
Realize that what audiences really want is to
see their own realities and values reflected in
a message. Be sincere and succinct. Allow the
human interest side to show through to better
relate to your audience.
Can your story be told with some humor or from
a different perspective? Great storytellers can
talk about something that people know to be true
in a way they may not have thought of before.
So what’s your story?

Y
ou’ve never heard of us?
As we know in the arts, our success very often
rests on public awareness. People can’t get
involved, attend performances/exhibits or even
donate to an organization that they are not even
aware of, and making them aware can present a
huge challenge.
In “A Random Book About the Power of Anyone,”
Talia Y. Leman offers hints about running an
awareness campaign. Leman maintains that
a successful awareness campaign does the

Sharma
Shares
Experience
Intern cherishes memories with the Arts Council
“
The purpose of art is
washing the dust of
daily life off our souls,”
said Pablo Picasso.
For many of us, these
words might not mean
much. In fact, earlier,
never once did they
stir my soul “so much
for the daily dust”, I
thought. Then, I joined
Sonia Sharma
Mississauga
Arts
Council (MAC) and my view of art and the artistic
world changed forever.
I have written almost all my life, but I never felt art
the way I did when I started working at MAC as
a Communications Intern to help with its annual
awards show called the MARTYS. The passion,
the drive and the environment at MAC wipes
away the mundane from your heart and soul.
During my tenure as an intern, every day at MAC
seemed as a brand new beginning full of hope,
encouragement and happiness.
So yes, working at MAC did wash off the dust
from my soul and inspired me to work towards
a better future. It also inspired me to choose art
as one of my fields of professional growth. My
internship at MAC was one of the most positive
experiences of my life. Now, I would like to intro-
6
duce these amazing people the way I see them.
Linda Thomas, Executive Director: A strong
leader and a driven professional, Linda smiles
in face of any adversity and emerges a winner
every time. Her kindness, vision and passion are
exemplary and …. She as a huge collection of
fridge magnets in her office that I am completely
fascinated with!
Steve Haviaras, Development/Event Planner:
An experienced professional, Steve is a perfect
gentleman who adds a lot of knowledge and
foresight to the team. He is always ready with
an honest opinion and doesn’t shy away from
calling a spade- a spade. A coffee lover, Steve
is rumoured to be an excellent violin player, but I
could never get him to confess!
Sandra Cina, Office Manager/Membership
Coordinator: If I could personify love, warmth
and grace, it would be just like Sandra. She is
the soul of the office and makes everyone feel
welcomed and treasured at MAC. She is the
first person whom the new members meet and
I would not have anyone else in her place to do
that. Though an Opera singer, and she is pretty
awesome at that, I think she would also make an
excellent standup comic! Beware Russell Peter!
Heather Brissenden, Youth Program Coordinator: The powerhouse of MAC, Heather brings
all the energy and fun to MAC every day! She is
open and so amazing that anyone can get drawn
to her and be friends with her. She is a perfect
example of an artist who is not only talented but
also devotes her time to inspire younger artists to
pursue excellence and create history!
Luiza Sadowski, Communications Coordinator: Luiza, a perfect balance of beauty and intelligence; she is a professional par excellence. Her
dedication to her work and the perfection in her
processes are awe inspiring. I worked with Luiza
most of the time and she welcomed me under
her wings with so much of warmth and positivity that I never felt as newcomer. She has this
amazing knack for creating the most awesome
collaborations and partnerships that make her
stand in altogether different league of communications professionals.
So, these are my friends at MAC. They are the
people who will always have a special place in
my heart and my experience at MAC will always
be my fondest memory of my experiences in
Canada. I do wish to see them again one day,
just to wipe of the dust from my soul and make it
shine even more! 

Applause Please!

of print), and Children of Ararat (a collection of
poetry about his Armenian father and the Armenian genocide of 1915).
The Mississauga Arts Council (MAC) is pleased
to announce that Joe Macerollo, one of MAC’s

Congrats to award-winning composer and performer Carlos Bastidas released his new music video, Jazz Club to the world; a video created from his memories of the quiet serenity of
the Colombian town of Tabio. Carlos brings to
this work his unique feeling for flute melody and
rhythm, expressing both a passion and serenity
inspired by his country of origin. In this video,
his music is combined with evocative landscape
cinematography of the savannah country side
of Tabio and its colonial architecture. From
Tabio’s ancient houses to its town square, the
video captures images of the town’s magnificent church gate where Carlos often played his
music as a child and teenager. For more info,
please go to www.carlosmusic.com.
MAC is proud of Sarah Jean-Villa, a multitalented singer/songwriter who recently landed
her own show with Rogers TV Peel called, Rock
Your True Inner Beauty. It will air this September. You can find her songs at www.sarahjeanvilla.com. 

Spotlight
on
Filmmaker
Peter
Rowe
Peter takes us on a journey across 7 continents of his exciting film career
“During the four years of filming
Angry Planet I was often asked
what was the most dangerous
situation I had encountered
on the series…We decided
we wanted to film the 1017foot high Dudhsagar Waterfall,
which turns from a trickle to a
torrent in the summer monsoon. We flew to Goa and then
drove south towards the remote
waterfall. En route we came
upon a filming opportunity that
you could only find in crazy India. A mahout was washing his
elephant in a flooded stream by
the side of the road”. That was
just the beginning of a wild day
of filming described in Rowe’s
book, Adventures in Filmmaking.
Peter told me filming Alien Invaders (2011) in Bombay, New
Delhi, across Eastern India at
the Burma border and in the Himalayas in Nepal was a unique
experience for him as well. It’s
no surprise Peter has so many
wonderful experiences; he’s
filmed in 45 countries and on
all seven continents throughout his illustrious filming career.
“Indonesia also has a pretty
wild and unique culture but
after India, everything seems
tame” Peter told me during our
interview.
Peter Rowe
I
magine sitting having a cappuccino and being approached by a monkey. You look over to
your right and see an elephant being washed in
the nearby river. Then you see a camel passing
you by. There are thousands of people everywhere and you end up find yourself amidst a
political parade and have pink powder thrown
all over you. This would be a typical scenario
in Bombay, India, but luckily Peter Rowe and I
were just at the Second Cup across the street
from the Mississauga City Hall conducting
our interview and the only interruption we had
were actors and film crew members walking by
shooting the next scene for a TV movie right out
of the Living Arts Centre. Peter was eager to
share his lifetime of experiences traveling and
filming abroad and discussing his newly published book, Adventures in Filmmaking.
8
Currently, Angry Planet is on
the Weather Network with a total of 39 episodes, encompassing 39 different adventures in
the most remote parts of the
world from Antarctica to the Sahara Desert. What’s even more
impressive is that only four
people were at the centre of the
project- the host, the editor, the
executive from the network and of course, Peter. Although there were obviously many challenges involved, Peter loved the adrenaline of
the whole endeavour! You really get a sense of
accomplishment and exuberance when in Peter’s presence. He has this very energetic aura
about him, sharing a wealth of knowledge and
exudes passion for everything he does. I was
most interested in discovering what he loved
most about his work. “Every day is completely
different. There is no norm that you are going to
every day so it’s always fresh, new and exciting! Most people are repeating themselves on
a daily basis. I love being in a different situation all the time, it keeps things very interesting!” he exclaimed. So what are the downfalls of
filmmaking I wondered? Trying to raise money
always seems to be the common thread. With
200 movies and 8 feature films under his name,
I think Peter has become an expert with this as
well.
What’s Peter’s advice to aspiring filmmakers?
“You have to believe that you can and are going to do something. You can’t expect others to
recognize that on your behalf. Read and delve
into my book for all the adventures in being a
filmmaker to get a sense of what it’s really like
and what is involved,” Peter explained.
After delving into the book myself, I have been
immensely inspired by Peter’s escapades right
from the first chapter describing his 2006 climb
of Mt. Nyiragongo volcano in Congo. In April
of this year, Peter climbed Mt. Acetenango in
Guatemala, 4000 meters high with a group of
13 other climbers – all the rest of them under
the age of 25. Like his films, Peter’s Adventures
in Filmmaking memoir is extremely entertaining
and inspirational. You will find lessons that can
help educate you as you aspire to embark on a
similar journey in filmmaking. It has a lot of valuable and useful pointers.
Currently, Peter is working on Shipwrecked on
a Great Lake, a Mississauga based film about
two War of 1812 warships that sank in Lake
Ontario, told through eyes of one of the few survivors. The fascinating aspect of this project is
that it will be showcased on a water screen at
J.C. Saddington Park in southern Mississauga
come next summer of 2014 so be on the lookout for it!
Peter will also be continuing his passion for
volcanoes this September by filming in the volcanic region in Turkey called Cappadocia. The
very unique component of this venture is that
the dormant volcanoes he will be exploring in
this region, called “fairy chimneys” have been
carved into homes and churches that people
still live in and use today. If you want to get a
glimpse of this film, which will also be incorporating 19 other impressive volcanoes around
the world, make sure to come out to the screening of it at the Travel Adventure Series in Port
Credit next January.
Adventures in Filmmaking is available as a paperback and ebook from amazon.ca, Ibooks,
and at Canadian Outdoor Equipment Co. at 199
Lakeshore Rd. East in Mississauga and TIFF
Bell Lightbox Bookstore in Toronto.
So what’s in store for Peter’s future? He’s always on the go, conjuring new creative ventures. Stay tuned for Peter’s Workshop on Independent Publishing this October, when Peter
will discuss his experience starting up his own
publishing company called Pinewood Independent Publishing. When he’s not filming, Peter’s
writing. The next book he is working on will be
called Music Vs. The Man.

T
his summer, I had the opportunity to enjoy the artistic life here in Mississauga,
through my internship in the Mississauga
Arts Council.
Although I am not an arts student, but studying at a French business school, I am going
to try to my best to compare the artistic life in
Canada (what I have experienced thus far)
and the artistic life in France.
In France, structures like Arts Councils do
not really exist. In the city halls of the biggest cities, there is a cultural department,
however people do not really know what
they actually do. Some events are promoted on the city hall’s websites, but only the
most important ones. So it is not as simple
as in Canada, where you only need to type
“Mississauga Arts Council” on Google or on
Facebook, to have access to lots of amazing events in Mississauga. However, if you
type “culture Marseille” (Marseille is a French
city, about the same size as Mississauga) on
Google, you may find the Cultural Portal of
the City of Marseille, so eventually, you will
find what you are looking for. The difference
is that those people are not very close to the
citizens, and you cannot find them in the city
hall! They are virtual, like ghosts…
So, for me, my internship with the Mississauga Arts Council is a really interesting experience, that would not have been possible
in France.
still do) and speak about their ideas. But what
is the artistic life in France really like? Well,
like in Canada, some people go to concerts
and expositions. And like in Canada, US culture is important, like half of the movies in the
cinema. So, what is different?
First, culture and arts have been fixed in the
French minds for centuries. So there are consequences, on the budget for instance: the
public arts spending per capita is £37.8 in
France, and £29.9 in Canada, so 1.31% of
total public spending in France, and 0.93%
in Canada.
Also, we have some special cultural manifestations that can be more… National. The
biggest example is the music fest! On June
21, anybody plays music everywhere. Most
of the time, there is no need of authorization:
you just go in the street and play music if you
want to. Or you can just walk around and see
if you find the kind of music you like. This is
probably the day where there are the most
people in the streets. Everyone is outside.
Finally, French people can be considered as
more shy than Canadian people. Most of the
time, they are not comfortable when they are
in front of people and have to sing or dance.
So they can be ridiculous because of this:
imagine a guy with a beautiful voice, but too
shy to move when he sings? Creepy!
So you see, we are not that different. 
Now, how important are arts in the French
life? When people think about France, they
also think about culture: Paris is seen art THE
city where the artists used to live (sometimes
