‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry

This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve.

What does ‘A Radio Play’ mean?? The play is set in a radio studio when live shows were performed on the radio. Your actors will be on stage, performing the show as though it was for radio. Sound effects will be made in front of you. It should be quite the experience and a new way to enjoy an old favourite.

Join your fellow Chamber Members in our Annual Toy Drive and to learn all about the amazing things happening with Re/Max Professionals North.

Mocktail Bar and Refreshments will be served.

Annual Chamber Members' Toy Drive for the Salvation Army

Ian Sherwood released his 6th studio album, Broken Little Heart, on September 27th in Dartmouth, NS. He will be touring across Canada to promote this album and his first stop is The Station Theatre on November 30th.

Guitar, saxophone, huge songwriting and a voice that won him a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer, Ian Sherwood Brings The Light to every stage he stands on. A born story teller and a constant creator, his music dances the line between folk and pop. His live performances thrive on intimacy. Whether it’s a theatre show or large festival stage, his persona is irresistible and completely destroys fourth walls. 

This concert is sure to make you feel like you are on the East Coast of Canada with lots of heart and good humour. 

When you donate blood or plasma this holiday season, you will make all the difference for patients in your community and across the country. There is no substitute for donated blood or plasma, and patients across Canada are depending on these life essentials every day. Donors are needed every week, even during the holidays to ensure hospitals have the vital products that are needed for everyday care and for emergencies. 

It is typically more challenging to collect blood during the last two weeks of December, but that is when donations are especially needed.  With the timing of statutory holidays, regular collections schedules are interrupted, so it is important that every available appointment is filled on the days when donation centres are open. Platelets – which are part of every blood donation – have a shelf life of only seven days. They are a vital blood component that helps make blood clot. One of the most common uses for platelets is to treat cancer patients. To make sure there is a steady supply of platelets, every available blood donation appointment needs to be filled. 
It takes thousands of blood and plasma donors to save the lives of patients across Canada.  Don’t count yourself out! We are continuously reviewing and updating our donor screening criteria. You may be eligible now, even if you weren’t before. There are many ways to support Canada’s Lifeline. Become a blood, platelet, or plasma donor. Join the stem cell registry and register your intent to donate organs and tissues, make a financial gift, or volunteer your time. Financial donors make a difference. Just like vital blood and plasma donors, financial donors help save and transform lives through their generosity. Whether it’s by fueling recruitment of more first-time blood and plasma donors who help patients today, or driving research that will transform lives of patients tomorrow, financial donors impact lives across Canada every year. When you are part of Canada’s Lifeline, giving a little means a lot. 

If you make an appointment, please try to keep it. Missed or cancelled appointments at this time of year are difficult to fill. If your plans change, and you are unable to make it to your appointment, please cancel it so that we can try to find someone else to take your place.  
Recent changes to donation criteria mean that many people who weren’t able to donate in the past, might be able to now.
