Film Screening: The Grand Seduction in Partnership with OFFA, Sheridan College, Film.Ca Cinemas & PWS To the Rescue

Wednesday, April 16th @7:30 p.m.

Description: A small fishing village must procure a local doctor to secure a lucrative business contract. When unlikely candidate and big city doctor Paul Lewis lands in their lap for a trial residence, the townsfolk rally together to charm him into staying. As the doctor’s time in the village winds to a close, acting mayor Murray French has no choice but to pull out all the stops and begin The Grand Seduction. This screening is FREE as part of National Canadian Film Day (#CanFilmDay)! Actor Liane Balaban will attend for the live Q&A, and we will feature a pre-taped introduction from Director Don McKellar. Balaban has been at the festival before - a Q&A for Woman in Car.

The Kingston Military Family Resource Centre (KMFRC) is calling on the community to take part in Month of the Military Child, a nationwide recognition of the strength, adaptability, and sacrifices of military children. Throughout April, Kingston residents and businesses are encouraged to #TealUp in support of military families and participate in a 50/50 fundraiser launching on March 26 to directly contribute to resources for military children in the local community. 

Why #TealUp? 

Teal is the official colour of Month of the Military Child, representing all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces—blue for the Air Force, green for the Army, and a combination of blue and white for the Navy. By wearing teal and spreading awareness, Kingstonians can demonstrate solidarity and support for the children who experience frequent relocations, extended separations from loved ones, and the ongoing challenge of integrating into new communities. 

50/50 Fundraiser: 

A Chance to Give Back To make an even greater impact, the KMFRC is launching a 50/50 fundraiser on March 26, with proceeds directly supporting military families in Kingston. Every ticket purchased helps enhance activities, services, and resources that empower military children and strengthen their resilience. Tickets are available at: kmfrc.com/win Draw Date: May
