WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
This dynamic project produced by REACH! featured two entertaining and inspiring afternoon presentations in February and March 2024 at the Star Cinema in Sidney. Six beautiful short films were created and premiered featuring outstanding elders and seniors in our community. Two popular local media personalities/authors also shared stories live from their encounters and books. (Times Colonist writer/humorist JACK KNOX and CBC Radio host GREGOR CRAIGIE.)
|
Two of the six elders/seniors featured in new films produced for our "What's Your Story?" project included 103 year-old retired naval officer PETER CHANCE, and Tsartlip First Nation teacher and language warrior, DR. JOHN ELLIOTT. |

Audience members loved these events and films made possible by a grant from the Government of Canada's Community Services Recovery Fund. Special thanks to our partners in this project: Karen Elgersma Media Inc. (film production), Star Cinema (host venue) and Seaside Magazine (promotions).
