Many parts of BC are experiencing higher than normal heat. Cooling centres are open to help people stay cool. First Nations and local governments continue to to add new cooling centre locations - connect with your local authority for the most up to date info. #BCHeat

A really lovely reflection by Koto: The Last Service director @joellacabalu about making the film, its connection to community, culture, and family businesses, including "the importance of telling people how much they mean to you when you can." 🍣🍣🍣 https://t.co/a3fIWEA2gc

Profoundly sad to hear about the passing of trailblazing poet & author Lee Maracle. Lee was a powerful presence @HotDocsCinema in the past; sharing wisdom, speaking truth to power & continuing to lift up her community.

Our thoughts are with her loved ones 💚
