Local artist Jodi Afonso is on site November 27, 2025 with her heartfelt “Pocket Hugs”, small resin hearts designed to be kept in your pocket as a reminder of love, hope, and connection. Inspired by her grandparents, Irene and Saul, Jodi created Pocket Hugs to “spread love, kindness, and positive messaging throughout our community.”

Jodi is also showcasing select artwork, with most proceeds generously donated back to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. Weekly, she will be highlighting a new art piece that will be for sale.
Thank you, Jodi, for helping our community feel supported, one small hug at a time.
