sarah mcpherson & riley urquhart
Best friends from the very beginning, we’ve been inseparable for nearly ten years. Riley’s a freelance graphic designer and skilled woodworker, and Sarah is an artist and writer with a knack for biting off way more than she can chew. We can usually be found running around in the bush, sharing a glass of wine or water with friends, creating something weird at home, or overcommitting to grassroots arts initiatives. While Sarah lives part-time in Scarborough for school, Riley lives in the home we share in Thunder Bay, working on developing his business, cleaning up after Sarah’s hyper-focus projects from her time at home, and keeping our two best friends, Winona and Stanley Kubrick, from burning it all down.

“Whaddya want?”
In lieu of a registry, we’re asking that those who are able and willing contribute to a fund dedicated to the building of a new house at Pearl.
The current building has several concerns that will make it uninhabitable in the years to come. Our dream is to rebuild, using as much of the materials from the old house as we can, in a spot on the property that is safe from the spring flood.
However if you have a gift in mind, would like to create something for us to commemorate this step in our lives, or simply believe the gift of your presence is enough (it is), we welcome that too!
If you would like to make a contribution, please share via cash or e-transfer to:
