About the Artist In the past few years Katharine Dagg has been reconnecting with her painting, after spending thirty years as a production potter along with Sandi Mahon at Stoneware Pottery in Milton. Katharine studied at Ontario College of Art then moved to the University of Manitoba and graduated from there with her BFA. She worked as a design consultant, both on the marketing end and the production end of Canadian native art, in Ottawa and the Northwest Territories. She moved to PEI to teach design at The Handcraft Training Center, which later became Holland College. Pottery was the main focus of her working life with periodic bouts of drawing and painting sandwiched between pots and extensive gardening. Retirement has afforded her the time to explore her passion, the world of colour. September 2009 Hon.

This year marked the first ever coordinated government advocacy effort put forth by local PEI golf industry representatives, and the events that took place provided an excellent opportunity to speak to local government decision makers about issues that are of concern to the industry. A survey of eight golf courses on PEI noted that there was a 25% decline in the number of golf rounds played by non-members, between 2003 and 2010. Golf industry representatives want to work with the Government of Prince Edward Island and Premier Ghiz to find ways to boost the health of the golf industry in Canada’s #1 Golf Destination. The Issue PEI golf industry representatives met with Ministers and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in Charlotteotwn to speak on the impact the golf industry has in PEI, particularly in regards to the provincial economy.
