The 3-day WayHome Festival in Oro-Medonte, Ont., over the weekend was an incredible success—with great crowds watching the likes of Neil Young, Kendrick Lamar, Broken Social Scene and Sam Smith perform.
As with many festivals of its kind, friendships between total strangers were formed and bonds were made. And between some, sparks flew—and possible connections made.

Apparently a Peterborough woman made quite the impression on a man she met. Taking a shot in the dark, this man—John—began looking for his "Cinderella" after the festival. Here is his message as he reached out to one hoping it was them.
Even CBC Radio Ontario is helping get the word out...
Unfortunately the glass slipper didn't belong to that woman contacted. Keep searching sweet Prince.

Fleming College Has Special Ceremony On 100th Aniversary Of Sir Sandford Fleming's Death
/On the 100th anniversary of his death, Sir Sandford Fleming’s life and legacy were celebrated with a ceremony and the unveiling of a portrait of historic significance Wednesday (July 22nd) at the Sutherland Campus.
Fleming College President Dr. Tony Tilly gratefully accepted a portrait of Fleming, on long-term loan by the Royal Canadian Institute For the Advancement of Science (RCI)—the oldest scientific society in Canada and one that Fleming and a small group of civil engineers, architects and surveyors founded in 1849.
Fleming’s great-great-grandson, Jock Fleming, Councillor of the RCI, and Helle Tosine, President of the RCI, presented the portrait to Dr. Tilly.
The portrait was painted in the early 1890s by J.W.L. Forster, the leading Canadian portrait artist of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
