Hackett Park Artisan Fair

Aug 15-16. An annual gathering of local and regional vendors. The Fair has been an annual tradition on the Coast for 38 years, and attracts close to 5000 visitors seeking to discover the creations of artisans who are jury selected based on craftsmanship, originality, and the unique items they have to offer for sale. In keeping with our ongoing tradition, the fair will coincide with the popular Festival of the Written Arts.

This year’s Fair will take place in the lower field of Hackett Park. We will have a large variety of artisans, artists, and food vendors, as well as live music.

The Fair can be accessed via Medusa Street and at the corner of Trail Ave. and Dolphin St. in Sechelt. Admission is by donation for adults, students and seniors, and free for children under twelve.

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. From acclaimed filmmaker Charles Officer comes the story of the rise, fall and redemption of Harry Jerome, Canada’s most record-setting track and field star. Gorgeous monochrome imagery, impassioned interviews and astonishing archival footage are used to tell the triumphant and compelling story of what Harry Jerome’s own coach called “the greatest comeback in track and field history.”

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
