As is John's tradition, he will sing holiday favourites, songs from his illustrious musical career, and tasteful Remembrance tributes. John McDermott is an international recording star and household name known as much for his successful musical career as for his commitment to veterans' causes. He has been nominated for a number of Juno awards and received the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor Society's Bob Hope Award for his support for veterans' causes. His first album, "Danny Boy", garnered strong sales in the U.S. and Canada and reached number one in New Zealand. This success, won through a tireless touring schedule, led to his participation in the PBS phenomenon, The Irish Tenors. John has gone on to record numerous albums, including Journeys. This extremely moving album includes songs such as "The Dreamer" and "The Gift of Years," both written by renowned songwriter Eric Bogle. Proceeds of the sales went to McDermott House Canada, a charity that John created. McDermott House Canada is a project close to John's heart, and he says: "Every day the men and women who serve our country, and the police, firefighters and first responders who serve our communities put their lives on the line and themselves in harm's way. When asked why they simply say: "It's what we do". They serve freely and willingly, asking for very little in return." to learn more about McDermott House Canada visit: https://mcdermotthousecanada.org/

Hosted by the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery and Carnival Cinemas, in partnership with Film Circuit, presented by TIFF. Directed by Julius Onah, Rated 14A USA | 109 minutes | English, Elevation Pictures About the Film: Certain to be one of the most talked-about films of the year, LUCE is a smart psychological thriller that will leave audiences breathless. An all-star high school athlete and accomplished debater, Luce (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) is a poster boy for the new American Dream. As are his parents (Naomi Watts and Tim Roth), who adopted him from a war-torn country a decade earlier. When Luce’s teacher (Octavia Spencer) makes a shocking discovery in his locker, Luce’s stellar reputation is called into question. But is he really at fault, or is Ms. Wilson preying on dangerous stereotypes? Stacked with amazing performances and adapted from JC Lee’s acclaimed play, director Julius Onah has created an intense, multi-layered and deeply entertaining look at identity in today’s America. Principal Cast: Naomi Watts, Octavia Spencer, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tim Roth Tickets are on sale now!

December 2019TCM Healing Center- Depression and Financial Health
People casually use the phrase, “I’m so depressed!” to say they are feeling down. But a temporary case of the blues – something we all experience – has nothing to do with real depression. True depression is not the blues, sadness or even grief. It is an overwhelming despair so bleak that people who have experienced it say that it is the worst pain they have ever endured. Depression is a treatable mental illness. Introduce potential opportunities to make extra cash after the Q&A of health topic. Member $20/person Non-member $35
