And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Directed by Jaime Falk and Jerry Ackerman.

Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate… for each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins; one by one, they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme about “Ten Little Soldier Boys.” 

Warnings: Some intense scenes with violence, murder, poison, hanging & drowning. Loud Noises. Suitable for ages 13 and up.

Mark Powers began his academic journey at Red Deer Polytechnic (formerly Red Deer College). He earned a BSc specializing in palaeontology at the University of Alberta, followed by an MSc with Dr. Philip Currie. He then completed a PhD with Dr. Michael Caldwell on snake evolution during and after the end-Cretaceous mass extinction. While pursuing his doctorate, he continued researching dinosaurs and collaborated internationally to revise Tyrannosaur systematics. This work led to the recognition of at least three new Tyrannosaur species, including a new Albertosaurus. Related fieldwork drew the BBC to Powers and his colleagues, and the life of a newly discovered Albertosaurus specimen was brought to the screen in Walking with Dinosaurs (2025).

And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Directed by Jaime Falk and Jerry Ackerman. 

Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate… for each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins; one by one, they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme about “Ten Little Soldier Boys.”  

Warnings: Some intense scenes with violence, murder, poison, hanging & drowning. Loud Noises. Suitable for ages 13 and up.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

RPD Perspectives Speaker Series: David A. Robertson

Perspectives 2026: Freedom to Read and Book Banning

Book banning is happening more often in Canada, and it’s not random.

Marginalized authors and diverse stories are disproportionately targeted, but removing books does not remove diversity. It silences voices that are very much part of our communities.

Drawing from his own experiences, David A. Robertson examines how censorship works, why it happens, and who it affects.

Through real examples and thoughtful analysis, he explores the consequences of limiting access to stories, and what individuals and communities can do to stand up for the freedom to read.

Proceeds will support future Perspectives events/scholarship funds.

About the Speaker

David A. Robertson is an acclaimed author and graphic novelist known for powerful, honest storytelling that centres Indigenous voices and lived experience. His work explores identity, history, and resilience while addressing urgent issues such as mental health, representation, and belonging.

With award‑winning books for readers of all ages, Robertson brings insight, compassion, and clarity to every conversation. His talks are engaging, accessible, and grounded in real-world experience, encouraging audiences to think deeper about the stories we tell and the impact they have on individuals and communities.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. Directed by Jaime Falk and Jerry Ackerman. 

Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal and a secret that will seal their fate… for each has been marked for murder. As the weather turns and the group is cut off from the mainland, the bloodbath begins; one by one, they are brutally murdered in accordance with the lines of a sinister nursery rhyme about “Ten Little Soldier Boys.”  

Warnings: Some intense scenes with violence, murder, poison, hanging & drowning. Loud Noises. Suitable for ages 13 and up.

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

After over a decade of experience in the music business as a session player for some of Canada’s top artists, Nate took his rightful spot at centre stage with his first single “Lighting In A Bottle”, which earned him his first Top 10 at Canadian radio.

Alberta Native Bee Council's LIVING LAWNS Fall Information Session

LIVING LAWNS is an upcoming free, web-based tool from the Alberta Native Bee Council intended to make it easy for residents and communities to convert conventional turf lawns into beautiful, functional native spaces.

Turfgrass covers a significant amount of our urban landscape and requires considerable resources to maintain. By replacing even a portion of a conventional lawn with native plants, homeowners can reduce maintenance needs and create valuable habitat for Alberta’s wild pollinators.

Knowing where to start can be challenging! Uncertainties around cost, what plants are suitable for a region, and how to maintain a garden are all concerns for new gardeners. That’s where LIVING LAWNS comes in.

The tool will guide users through the process of planning their own native garden and create a customized blueprint based on their location, space, preferences, and aesthetic goals. Plans will include regionally appropriate native plant recommendations, estimated costs for plants and materials, visual design concepts, step-by-step maintenance guidance, and information about the pollinators the garden can support.

The Alberta Native Bee Council's goal is to take some of the uncertainty out of lawn conversion and give Albertans practical tools to create native spaces that work for both people and pollinators.

Join us for this information session to learn more about Living Lawns, how the tool will work, why native gardens matter, and what you can expect as we bring the project to life.
