A WOMAN'S LOVE LIST
WRITTEN BY NORM FOSTER

Megan and Carly write down a list of qualities for the perfect man, and to their surprise, he appears!

But perfection proves to be a moving target. As they begin tweaking the list – Blaze Wilson, their masterpiece, responds in kind, morphing from one personality to the next faster than you can say “emotional whiplash. Things get even messier when Blaze discovers the list and takes matters into his own hands.

Full of rapid-fire dialogue, bizarre romantic detours, and enough twists to qualify as cardio, A Woman’s Love List is a hilarious exploration of modern relationships and why love can’t be measured by bullet points

Monthly Meeting with Jeff MacIntyre (September 30, 2026)

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Jeff MacIntyre, President of the Grand Valley Construction Association, will speak about the housing crisis through the lens of a construction industry undergoing rapid transformation.

He notes that the sector is evolving faster than anyone expected — from who enters the workforce to how projects are designed, priced, and delivered.

The traditional image of construction is giving way to one that’s more diverse, inclusive, and reflective of today’s society.

Jeff will explore how supply-chain volatility, shifting timelines, and new client expectations are reshaping how projects are priced and managed. The emphasis on risk mitigation, safety, and project management has led to more efficient and sustainable business practices.

At the same time, the integration of renewable energy solutions and sustainable building materials reflects both environmental responsibility and economic opportunity.

As regulations and standards continue to evolve, the industry’s capacity to stay compliant and innovative will determine its long-term success. Jeff argues that adapting to change is not just a necessity but a pathway to resilience and leadership — ensuring construction firms remain trusted, forward-thinking partners in community building.

Finally, he will reflect on the Grand Valley Construction Association’s 50-year history of supporting members through training, advocacy, and partnerships. Looking ahead, the next 50 years will depend on collaboration — connecting with educators, governments, and other sectors to fill knowledge gaps, create sustainable growth, and prepare the industry for the future.

As Jeff reminds us, construction remains one of the great industries: it builds careers, strengthens communities, and quite literally shapes the world we live in.

PERSONAL VIGNETTE: Also in this meeting, a member will be delivering his personal vignette.

LUNCH BUNCH: After the meeting, all members are invited to have lunch (at their own cost) at a local restaurant. A great way to get to know your fellow members.

Monthly Meeting with Kevin Swayze (November 25, 2026)

Wed, 25 Nov 2026 14:30:00 GMT

Cambridge History Through a Journalist’s Lens

Kevin Swayze brings over 40 years of experience as a journalist, storyteller, and communicator — and a deep personal connection to Cambridge’s history.

Having spent 17 years as a reporter and editor at the Cambridge Reporter, Kevin covered the people, places, and pivotal moments that shaped our community. When the presses stopped for good, it was Kevin who quite literally turned out the lights for the last time — closing a remarkable chapter in local journalism.

In this engaging presentation, Kevin revisits Cambridge’s past through fascinating stories and striking images that capture the city’s evolution — from its industrial roots and neighbourhood character to the people and events that defined its identity. Drawing from his decades behind the camera and keyboard, he brings history to life with humour, insight, and a journalist’s eye for detail.

Kevin has also shared his communication skills as a Conestoga College professor and presentation coach. He is currently also editor of Neighbours of West Galt magazine.

Join us for a lively look at Cambridge’s history, told by someone who lived it, wrote it, and helped preserve it for future generations.

PERSONAL VIGNETTE: Also in this meeting, a member will be delivering his personal vignette.

LUNCH BUNCH: After the meeting, all members are invited to have lunch (at their own cost) at a local restaurant. A great way to get to know your fellow members.

The Dynamic Duo - Ralf Buschmeyer and Corinne Plomish - bring exceptional talent, polish, and warmth to every performance. Their musical partnership is seamless, with an easy stage presence and a repertoire that reflects both depth and versatility.

Corinne’s expressive voice and improvisational skill are matched beautifully by Ralf’s smooth, accomplished guitar playing. Together, they create an engaging and memorable experience that feels both intimate and richly textured.
