Canadian Film Day
Canadian Film Day is almost here!
April 19th marks the tenth anniversary of National Canadian Film Day, a day to celebrate the amazing films that come out of our vast and diverse country. Because this is a significant anniversary, they’ve come up with a list of movies to watch, an “All You Can Watch Buffet”, if you will!
To celebrate this year’s event, we’re hosting a screening of our own. On Wednesday, April 19 at 2:00 pm, come to our Victoria Avenue location for a special screening of the 1985 Anne of Green Gables mini-series! More details.
