Briony Douglas makes big things. The Toronto-based artist has built a life-sized Formula 1 car, a three-metre-high cowboy boot, and an elephant made from more than 225 kilograms of rope. Her latest big project — both figuratively and literally — is a goalie mask, which she's made out of sticks used by players in the Professional Women's Hockey League. Called "The Inaugural Six" — referring to the league's six founding teams — it stands four feet by six feet (1.21 metres by 1.83 metres). The giant mask will be unveiled at Toronto's Eaton Centre to help the PWHL celebrate the puck dropping on the league's second season, which starts this week. Art 101 The divide between art and sports can be vast, but sometimes art and sports have been friends CBC Arts spoke to Douglas about why she makes art about sports, how the sticks made her feel closer to the players, and why she's stoked to have her art in a mall. CBC: Why did you want to do this project? Briony Douglas: As a woman, I believe empowering women in sports is super important. Any way that I can do that through art is also very important to me. I think art is an unbiased way to begin a conversation and spark people's conversations about things that are important in the world. I loved the league already, and I'm super excited to help highlight them in this unique way. CBC: OK, but why this specific thing? Why a goalie mask made out of old hockey sticks? BD: I love creating art out of items that people wouldn't usually create art out of. I think finding beauty in things that have been discarded or upcycled speaks to a lot of things in our lives. And I love a challenge. I have ADHD, so something different every day is exciting for me. Learning how to navigate fibreglass hockey sticks into a giant goalie mask was definitely not not a challenge. Artist Briony Douglas (Justin Jasmins) CBC: Fibreglass hockey sticks, I'm assuming, are a new medium for you. What's that like and what was the learning curve like? BD: Everything has a learning curve. That's what makes it exciting. That's what thankfully ended up being pretty straightforward ... Do you remember the dinosaurs that we would make when we were children out of the wooden slats? CBC: Sort of? BD: We essentially did that well with the goalie mask. So we would have a very strong base, and sturdy as well. And then from there, we learned how to cut and drill into the sticks, and then adhered it all, and did a little welding. So it was a learning curve, but not the worst learning curve I've ever had. CBC: This feels like a very silly question, but also one that must be asked. How did you go about collecting the sticks, how many are there and how long did it take you to get all of them? BD: OK, this is not a silly question. It actually is my favorite part of this whole story. So [the project's corporate sponsor] Royale asked the league to send upcycled sticks from all six teams. What's really cool is that there's names on every single stick., so every time I laid down a stick, I knew whose stick it was. So, in a lot of different angles of the sculpture, you can see the different players' names on it ... I can't articulate enough just how cool that is. Even the way that the different sticks are taped at the top by each player, they're all so different and so unique. CBC: Do you feel like you know the players a little now, after spending so much time looking at their sticks? BD: It's funny, I was on the Toronto Life [Rising Stars] list last week , and [ Toronto Sceptres players] Sarah Nurse, Natalie Spooner and Blayre Turnbull were [at the launch party] , and in my head I wanted to be like, "Guys! We're best friends. I just made a sculpture out of your sticks." I feel close to them without actually knowing them that well. Group Chat The Professional Women's Hockey League is making history — and selling out arenas CBC: So this piece is going to be on display at the Eaton Centre. On one hand, technically, it's just a mall. On the other hand, it looms pretty large as a Toronto landmark. What's it like having your art displayed somewhere where it's super accessible to people who may not inherently be art people? BD: I love it. And I feel like, not to go back to the pandemic, but I feel like for years, we just sat behind screens, having to view art through screens. So people being able to stand there and see my art in real life is, like, my favorite, favorite thing ever. Watching a little kid walk up to the art and be like, "Wait, that's hockey sticks?" And then the parent explaining to them the story behind it, I don't think there's any better feeling in the world than that. CBC: This isn't the first time you've done art about sports . What speaks to you about sports as a theme? BD: I think that for myself, I didn't see women creating art in these categories before, so I want to be that for other people. Like, just last week, I had a mom and her daughter come by the shop to look at the different things we're working on. [Ser] daughter's excited about art. And I just think if I can even be that spark for one little girl, that's pretty friggin' cool. The Inaugural Six is on display at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre (220 Yonge St.) in Toronto until Nov. 28.

Back for another year, the Boots best of beauty Christmas showstopper beauty box (quite a mouthful, I know) has arrived. Full of wonder, and stuffed with 26 products, including 15 full-size heroes, I predict this limited edition box will fly off the shelves, dropping at the perfect time for Christmas shopping. Getting to try out new beauty products from brands that you love and trust, or have spotted on social media, is one of the best parts of this. Although I’m guilty of harbouring somewhat of a mountain of night creams , lipglosses and perfumes , I never turn down a chance to try new products, to see where they could fit into my routine. This Christmas edition box, which features a little of everything, and will look great under the Christmas tree, is worth £451.60 but can be yours for just £88 (so you are making a saving of 88 per cent), featuring cult brands like Elemis , Sol de Janeiro , r.e.m., Ren and Byoma . Read more: Best beauty gift sets that anyone will be pleased to receive Inside this Christmas box, you’ll find 26 products, spanning perfume, make-up, haircare and skincare, plus a Fenty voucher. Rather impressively, 15 of the products are full-size, with the comprising miniatures and deluxe-sized products. Skincare lovers, like me, will be delighted with the assortment inside. The full-size Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser works beautifully to deeply cleanse the skin, buff away dull and dead skin and offer a flush of hydration while doing so. When reviewing , beauty writer Olivia said that “it felt soft on my skin and there was no tingling or slickness like you get with some other types of cleansers”. There’s also a mini version of Lancôme’s loved génifique ultimate serum (7ml), which is known to accelerate skin repair. Perfect for travelling or keeping in your bag, the Floral Street wonderland peony EDP fragrance rollerball delivers a light, fruity and floral scent. Similarly, the r.e.m. beauty utmost importance plumping lip gloss is one of my handbag favourites, thanks to its ultra-glossy formula that gives a light plump, without leaving a sticky residue. There’s even a 75ml pot of bum bum cream from Sol de Janeiro, which needs no introduction. Although, in case you were wondering, it provides deep nourishment and locks in moisture. You’ll also find make-up, including Urban Decay’s all nighter setting spray, which I’ve dabbled with for quite some time and have found it’s great for keeping make-up in place, and perfect for upcoming Christmas parties. Another product I first found many moons ago is Benefit’s benetint lip and cheek stain , which is a best-seller for a reason. I’ll keep the rest as a surprise, but this box is well worth snapping up.Happy New Year! It’s crazy how fast time seems to fly by. As we review how this past year has gone, we are delighted with how much was accomplished. Over $1,158,783 worth of improvements were made in 2024, such as building the Interurban Trail, finishing Lancaster Park, and maintaining our other facilities. Large projects require lots of financial resources, and we are thankful to have been blessed with $332,590.26 in local donations and from our new partnership with Harrison Township.

Jayden Daniels nearly led Washington to an improbable comeback down 10 in the final two minutes against Dallas only to fall short because Austin Seibert's extra point sailed wide left. After a field goal and successful onside kick, Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin on an 86-yard catch-and-run touchdown to bring the Commanders within one point with 21 seconds remaining. But Seibert's point-after attempt failed and the Cowboys returned the ensuing onside kick for a touchdown to seal a 34-26 victory. Special teams were atrocious for both teams. Seibert also missed his first extra point and Washington allowed KaVontae Turpin's 99-yard kickoff return for a score earlier in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys missed a field goal, had another blocked and had a punt blocked. "What a wild special teams moment of blocked punts, kicks, kickoff returns, blocked field goals, just a number of things going to that spot," Commanders coach Dan Quinn said. Washington (7-5) was a 10 1/2-point favorite over the undermanned Cowboys (4-7) but ended up losing a third straight game. The Houston Texans were 8-point favorites against the lowly Tennessee Titans and let the game come down to Ka'imi Fairbairn missing a 28-yard field goal that would have tied it with just under two minutes left. C.J. Stroud threw two interceptions, was sacked four times and the Texans (7-5) committed 11 penalties, including an illegal shift that negated a go-ahead 33-yard TD pass to Nico Collins on the drive that ended with Fairbairn's miss in the 32-27 loss. The Titans (3-8) averaged just 17 points per game before putting 32 on the scoreboard against Houston's defense that entered No. 4 in the league. "We didn't do anything well enough to win this game," Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. "Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives. Too many negative plays. Score, get a penalty, get touchdowns called back. Get penalties on special teams. Just way too many negative plays defensively, like unexplainable explosives for touchdowns. We just didn't play good across the board." The San Francisco 49ers didn't have quarterback Brock Purdy, star edge rusher Nick Bosa and All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams against Green Bay. That was no excuse for their undisciplined performance. The Niners committed nine penalties and their tackling was shoddy in a 38-10 loss to the Packers. The defending NFC champions are 5-6 with a trip to Buffalo (9-2) coming up. They're still only one game behind Seattle and Arizona in the NFC West. "I'm really not concerned right now about how many guys were missing. We didn't play good enough, so that's not a factor. But, when you are missing some guys, you do have to be better. When you have those penalties and we didn't stop the run like we did and we had those three turnovers in the second half, that's how you get embarrassed." Coming off their first loss of the season, the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs needed Patrick Mahomes' heroics on the final drive to beat Carolina 30-27. Mahomes ran 33 yards to set up Spencer Schrader's 31-yard field goal as time expired. Kansas City had 10 penalties, including a pass interference that gave the Panthers (3-8) another chance to make the 2-point conversion that tied the game with 1:46 remaining. On defense, the Chiefs (10-1) suddenly shaky unit gave up 334 total yards against Bryce Young and an offense that entered last in the NFL. "We've got to do better. We're doing good in the red zone but that's only a third of the field," Chiefs safety Bryan Cook said. "We will go back and look at the film to see what we're doing week to week, and see the tendencies that we're giving up, and just move forward from there. At the end of the day, we're all vets in the room for the most part. ... got to go back to the drawing board and see what we're doing and correct it from there." The Vikings allowed the Bears to recover an onside kick with 21 seconds left and Caleb Williams followed with a 27-yard pass to D.J. Moore to set up Cairo Santos' tying 48-yard field goal. But Minnesota won in overtime, 30-27. The Chiefs and Vikings overcame their mistakes in narrow victories. The Commanders, Texans and 49ers couldn't. They have to be better down the stretch to make a playoff run.
