Tue, Apr 30 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

“On Earth, everywhere you go, the temperature is 75 degrees. Everything is the same; all the people are exactly the same. Now what kind of life is that?” From special effects wizard Douglas Trumbull (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY) comes this ecologically minded science-fiction feature. Bruce Dern stars as Freeman Lowell an astronaut who leads a one-man Noah’s Ark rebellion to save Earth’s flora and fauna. In a climate of continuos ecological disasters, SILENT RUNNING is just as pertinent as it was when it premiered in 1972, perhaps even more so. Presented by Cult Cinema. adults, students/seniorsBox office opens at 6:15For more information check our website at: http://www.metrocinema.org/film_view/4057/Poster design by Parker Thiessen

TEDxEdmonton Salon Series: Food for Thought
Tue, Apr 30 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Food: it sustains us physically, connects us culturally, and brings us together socially. However while food is a common element of our daily lives, it is often taken for granted and in some cases also misunderstood. Our next TEDxEdmonton salon challenges how we think about food – from how it gets produced to how we understand it before making purchasing decisions. The event will feature a combination of both live speakers and a lively discussion featuring thought leaders from Edmonton’s food community. If you’re a foodie or just someone curious about learning more about where the future of food is headed then this event is for you! Join us at 7pm for a special complimentary beer tasting with Steam Whistle Brewing and food tasting with Pangaea Market.

Wed, May 8 6:30 pm – 10:30 pm

In 1975, Junior Achievement of the United States launched The Business Hall of Fame concept to honor those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to free enterprise and to society. Junior Achievement of Canada quickly followed suit in 1979 by establishing the Canadian Business Hall of Fame and encouraging JA charters across the country to recognize leaders in their regions. Today, there are 2 national and no less than 75 regional JA Business Hall of Fame events in states and provinces coast to coast across North America.In 1980 The Junior Achievement Alberta Business Hall of Fame was unveiled to identify and chronicle the lives of great Alberta men and women whose business leadership and community stewardship shaped the ways that people live, work, and interact.With only 63 Alberta men and women and having the mark of distinction of being named as a laureate, the Junior Alberta Business Hall of Fame the event stands alone as Alberta’s highest business leadership honor.

As you probably know, this CD has been a long time coming! It’s taken about two years of stops and starts, and trying to juggle different parts of life to finish it. Along the way, some wonderful musicians have come along for the ride, and helped me to create something I’m really proud of. Produced by Russell Broom and Mike Lent, the album is first and foremost a collection of stories based on everyday moments that I’ve watched around me – and I can’t wait for you to hear them!I’m also really looking forward to sharing these songs with new listeners across the country. On May 12, along with my brother/ guitar player/ man of many hats, I’ll be embarking on my first tour across Canada to promote the album in partnership with VIA Rail. Through their entertainment program, we’ll be playing shows on the train from Vancouver to Toronto, but also stopping in Vancouver, Victoria, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Calgary to play at clubs and venues in each city along the way.But this message is really about Edmonton! If you’ve never yet seen me perform live, this is the show!!! And if you have seen me live before, I’ll be joined this time by my co-producer Mike Lent on bass and some of Edmonton’s best players. Braden Gates, an amazing songwriter just back from touring Canada and Europe himself, will be opening and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it! This will also be your first official chance to pick up a new CD. Tickets are limited, so make sure you get yours!I can’t wait to see you there! While doors officially will open at 7:00 pm, the lobby will be open from 6:45 and be a great chance to visit, grab a drink, and settle in! Feel free to invite a friend (or two ;) and pass this message along. The show is a few days before Mother’s Day as well – so maybe you can even treat someone. I can’t say it enough – thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support so far. I am so excited to celebrate with you!Smiles,Erica
