*News*
The time has come to say THANK YOU! Thank you to Pelee Island Community Arts and Pelee island Heritage Centre for founding partnership in The Island Unplugged Music Festival. In 2014, these two registered charities came together to help form a brand new not for profit corporation on Pelee Island; Pelee Island Cultural Events. As a result, the festival ran 6 consecutive years of festival events attracting over 60 bands and singer-songwriters to our island, bringing original live music performance and building community pride. Over 7000 volunteer hours were contributed by over 65 people whose passion and positivity made this event a success. Pelee Island Cultural Events remains dedicated to promoting creativity and supporting arts and culture on Pelee Island through artistic expression, civic engagement, and community partnership; but will no longer stage a festival at East Park Campground formerly known as The Island Unplugged. Acknowledging that Covid-19 was transformative for us all; we have to consider a new way to sustainably deliver our mandate going forward. Pelee Island Cultural Events will look for a new direction and we hope we can count on valued partnership from sponsors, funders, and friends in the future. We hope that a legacy of supporting each other and sharing resources lives on in future endeavors.

Thank you
Cathy, Kim + Amanda

ICYMI:
The Island Unplugged will not be staging a festival in 2022. With continued uncertainty around the safety of large group gatherings and potential for continued capacity restrictions on our ferry system; we are unable to plan an event we love.

We rely entirely on volunteers to organize The Island Unplugged and it takes months to get all the moving parts in place. We hope to be back in 2023 and look forward to sharing news on that when we can.

🏵️✨💟

Thanks to the good folks at Stone + Sky and all who attended last night's performance we were able to collectively raise just over $300 for our local Pelee Island VON Nursing Station.

Do what you can with what you have where you are. 🏵️🙌

This Saturday we are pleased to partner with Pelee Quarry to bring an evening of free live music and art to Pelee Island. Though the show is free; we do hope you'll consider dropping some cash in our donation jar to benefit the Pelee Island VON Nursing station.

We value this essential service and offer our gratitude for exceptional care on Pelee Island. For those of you unfamiliar; a little more about VON here:

Pelee Island Nursing Station
VON began delivering primary care services to the residents and visitors on Pelee Island in July 2012. We are proud to offer extended opening hours, weekend clinics with a Nurse Practitioner, women’s health screening, chronic disease management and assist EMS with enhanced emergency care.
If someone in your family needs urgent care, or on-going health screening, you can trust the medical staff at the VON Pelee Island Nursing Station to be there for you.

VON Canada has been pioneering care at home for over 120 years. Today, we are a highly-trusted registered charity that works with our clients, employees, volunteers and partners to provide innovative clinical, personal and social support to people who want the comfort and peace of mind of living in their own homes and communities.
