SC Arts Centre: Sunday Film Series: The Stand
We close the series with The Stand, a film by Christopher Auchter that honours the Elders, activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the Haida Nation—and for all of Canada. In the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people stood on a muddy logging road on Lyell Island—and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, sovereignty and environmental justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, courage and quiet humanity of that moment.
Doors at 3:30; Entrance by donation
SC Arts Centre: Sunday Film Series: No Other Land
No Other Land will be our March film. This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance, and a search for a path towards equality and justice.
Doors at 3:30; Entrance by donation
SC Arts Centre: Sunday Film Series: Mighty Jerome
Honouring Black History Month and a screening of Mighty Jerome.

SSAC: Populism and Democracy in Canada
Democratic politics can be either enhanced or undermined by politicians claiming to speak for the people. Populist politicians frame politics as a struggle between ‘the people’ and elites who prevent the people from achieving their legitimate social and economic interests.
Gibsons Library: Philosophy Café, Evening Edition
What is the true meaning of “success” in life? What is a “good education”?
Join the discussion as we talk about the eternal Big Questions, moderated by a trained philosopher. The moderator’s aim is not to find winners and losers in a debate, but to use all viewpoints as clues to the puzzle that, if completed, would offer us a truth of sorts. A different topic each time. All are welcome, including those who would rather mostly listen.
*This is a trial extra time slot in the evening for people who can’t make the regular time, it will be the same discussion topic as the December session.
January discussion: Is it time to redefine/retire marriage, or is it essentially the right ideal in its current legal form

Art Exhibition: SC Arts Centre – Eldon Underhill

The exhibition “Unseen Forces” is a series of paintings that reflect the idea of the unseen forces that often serve as unconscious catalysts to the creative process when working in the abstract, using a mix of standard, non-standard, and recycled substrates including canvas, upholstery fabric, burlap and construction building paper, as a reflection of the artist’s anxieties about the non-sustainable practices involved in the fine art industry.
Sechelt Arts Festival: Festival Procession: Equinox Raven
In collaboration with Rogue Arts Society, the Sechelt Arts Festival invites you to a celebration of Sinku, the deep waters of the Salish Sea, its ocean inhabitants, its underwater currents, its stories of travel and exchange, and its vitalness to our communities. Sechelt, as the land between two waters, has been shaped by the Salish Sea.
To honour of this magical moment, we will gather at 5:30pm on Ocean Ave for a procession along the waterfront guided by musicians, drummers, dancers and puppets – all celebrating the creatures of the sea. Weaving shíshálh drumming, song and storytelling, with the power of taiko and the beauty of the shakuhachi flute, the procession unfolds stories of the sea on the Fall Equinox.
