The Evening’s Itinerary

These documentaries shine a light on beloved places, like the Bow River, as well as the people who steward them. The feature short film, by Québec filmmaker Renaud Furlotte, celebrates the life of long-time Canmore resident and community member Gerry Stephenson, and his enduring love of our clear, connected waters and the trout who call them home.

Following the screening, we’ll lead a panel discussion featuring the film directors, as well as our Executive Director Katie Morrison. 

There will be a selection of beverages on offer, including cocktails and mocktails courtesy of Wild Life Distillery, as well as soft drinks. Complimentary theatre-style snacks like popcorn and nostalgic treats will also be on offer!

Each ticket comes with one free beverage, and beverages after are available for $5.

And, if all that wasn’t enough, Hooké has generously donated incredible door prizes that you can win simply by attending the event!
