Georgina is blessed with a vibrant artistic life. Whether your interest tends towards visual arts, live theatre, spoken and written word, movies, or live music festivals celebrating classical and folk music, Georgina will keep you engaged and excited.
The Red Barn Theatre is the longest running professional summer theatre in Canada. Begun in 1949 in a barn owned by Jack Sibbald, its first director was a 23 year old named Alfred Mulock.  After something of a shaky start, The Red Barn soon found its purpose as a theatre devoted to developing the talents of Canadian playwrights, directors, actors, composers and designers. Its aim is to grow the local theatre-going audience with programming that appeals to all ages and tastes.
All theatres include classics in their repertoire and The Red Barn is no exception, yet its sights are set firmly on the present and future of Canadian theatre, including premieres of important new Canadian works. Even an unfortunate fire in the early summer of 2009 couldn’t halt the Red Barn’s run; for the time being, The Stephen Leacock Theatre located in the Georgina Cultural Centre will host the company and its productions. We are also truly fortunate in Keswick to be home to the Queensville Players, a superb and enthusiastic musical theatre group. Whether you like to sing, dance, or collect tickets, call them - community groups like the Players make Keswick the special place it is
The Georgina region has a rich literary heritage.   The immortal Stephen Leacock, destined to be known forever for his humourous depictions of small-town Ontario life, was Georgina's most famous resident. Due in no small part to Leacock’s sterling example, the late Peter Gzowski, Canada’s favourite radio host, championed the cause of literacy for years, and today his name is forever associated with the joy of reading. Fittingly, Georgina celebrates The Peter Gzowski Festival of Stories every summer. Bringing together the community in the form of the Learning Centre for Georgina, the Georgina Pioneer Village and the Georgina Friends of the Library, the Festival delights in stories and storytelling, featuring authors, poets, illustrators, publishers, clowns and musicians every August.
The Georgina Arts Centre and Gallery or GAC is the hub of Georgina’s thriving artistic scene. Offering workshops and camps, GAC is the place to let your creative juices come to the boil, and to admire the imagination and talents of others. Or perhaps you collect – the Gallery Shoppe is definitely a must-see! Every year the GAC participates in the Georgina Studio Tour, a wonderful opportunity to meet local artists and to see where and how they create their work.
 Summer is the time for music in the great outdoors, and Georgina looks forward to the twin magic of The Blue Bridge Festival of chamber music and poetry in early June and the Eaglewood Folk Festival late every August. The Blue Bridge Festival is a uniquely exciting event marrying existing artistic traditions to create new visions. This is your chance to mingle with internationally-renowned musicians and poets along a  mediaeval-inspired Troubadour Trail, see a water ballet, or simply delight in the happy blend of music and nature. The Eaglewood Folk Festival has a formal mission: to promote folk/roots music; to endorse the creativity and diversity of Native culture, accessibility, health & wellness and environmental concerns; to feature workshops and concerts given by various artists from differing folk/roots music genres. But most importantly, the goal is to have a rocking good time, and in this, success is always assured!

Tax Considerations >Taxpayer Relief
Legislation included in the 1997 federal budget made significant changes that improve a homeowner's ability to profit from the sale of real estate.
The capital gains tax exclusions on the sale of a principal residence is just one of several benefits for homeowners. When you sell a home you have owned and use for two of the five years prior to the sale, married couples are allowed to keep up to $500,000 in tax-free profits and taxpayers filing as singles can keep up to $250,000 before paying capital gains tax.
Long-term capital gain is also taxed at lower rates as a result of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act passed in 2003. The maximum capital gains tax rates dropped from 20% to 15% and from 10% to 5%, effective for sales and exchanges taking place on or after May 6, 2003 and through December 31, 2007. In 2008 the 15% rate continues for higher income taxpayers, while the 5% rate for lower income taxpayers drops to 0%, but only for the 2008 tax year. On January 1, 2009, the 10% and 20% rates will be reinstated.
Consult your tax advisor for advice regarding your particular circumstance.
