New National Film Board Showings

We've got some great films lined up for you.

"Finding Farley"
Showing on: Wednesday January 19, 2:00pm
A young family retraces the literary footsteps of Canadian writer Farley Mowat from Calgary to Nova Scotia. A wonderful film capturing their 5,000 km journey: sailing, trekking, and paddling the path that Farley Mowat took 60 years earlier.

"Finding Dawn"
Showing on: Wednesday February 16, 2:00pm
A compelling documentary that puts a human face on a national tragedy, the murders and disappearances of an estimated 500 Aboriginal women in Canada over the past 30 years.

"The Company of Strangers"
Showing on: Wednesday March 9, 2:00pm
Eight elderly women find themselves stranded in the wilderness with only their wits, memories, and some roasted frog legs to sustain them. These remarkable women share their stories of turning this potential crisis into a magical time of humour, spirit and friendship.
