Lucia Melnick
1926 - 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a cherished member of our community, Lucia Melnick, who left us at the remarkable age of 97. Lucia was not just a pillar of our community but a fervent supporter of music and the arts, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of Kenora.
Lucia dedicated many years of her life to the promotion and nurturing of local talent. Her unwavering commitment to music and the arts was exemplified by her role as the president of the Kenora Festival of the Arts. Her leadership and passion were instrumental in making the festival a thriving cultural event.
Beyond her role with the festival, Lucia also took it upon herself to organize numerous music concerts and events throughout the years. Her vision and determination brought the joy of music to countless individuals, fostering a deep appreciation for the arts within our community.
In Lucia's memory, her family has designated the Lake of the Woods Concert Group as the recipient of donations. This is a fitting tribute to a woman who dedicated her life to the musical and artistic enrichment of our community.

Born and raised in Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Manitoulin Island, Crystal Shawanda grew up
surrounded by music. Introduced to the blues by her eldest brother and to old-time country by her
parents, she developed a deep curiosity for the roots of every song she heard. “I was one of those
kids who read the liner notes,” she says. “I wanted to know who the originators were — the mothers
of invention, the masters like Etta James, Muddy Waters, and Buddy Guy.” That early passion
shaped her into the powerhouse blues vocalist she is today.
