Land Use & Development Workshop: Meet Tarynn Lennox
After 6 with The Monarch & Co. & The Cheese Gallery
Land Use & Development Workshop – Feb 24/26
Our Land Use & Development workshop on February 24 was a huge success, with our sponsors and speakers, Claire Freisenhausen from CRM Lab Archaeology & Heritage Management and Tarynn Lennox from Tarynn Lennox Real Estate helping us share valuable and incredibly interesting information on this complex topic. It was great to see so many community members come out to learn about archaeological and First Nations considerations of land use in Grey-Bruce.
Thanks to The Market on Marsh for the delicious breakfast, and to Thornbury Bakery Café for keeping us well-fuelled with fresh coffee. And a special thanks to the team at The Blue Mountains Public Library for the beautiful venue.
There was such a lively Q&A and discussion after the workshop that we didn’t get the chance to ask our keynote speaker, archaeologist Claire Freisenhausen, two very important questions. We sent them to her afterwards and she was good enough to satisfy our curiosity:
The Q’s
1) What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever uncovered on a dig?
2) How fundamental to your work is an Indiana Jones-type whip?
The A’s
1)The coolest artifact I’ve ever found was a 6000 year old amulet carved from a deer rib which definitively proved that the site in Northern BC we were excavating was culturally related to sites over 100 km north in Alaska! 
2)The Indiana Jones whip is 100% essential to the work I do from the lab to the field to the office! 
Thank you Claire and Tarynn for such a fun and informative morning. Stay tuned for information about our upcoming professional development workshops.
