Sunday – June 21 2015 Adults – Film Program – “Hey Ho Mistahey”

Hey Ho Mistahey is the story of Shannen’s Dream, a national campaign to provide equitable access to education in safe and suitable schools for First Nations children. It is powerful and moving to see how much a teenager can accomplish with passion. From the reserve in Attawapiskat to Parliament Hill, this is a compelling journey. The subject matter will appeal to an audience range of teens to adults. The limit in the room is 60 people. No registration required. Recommended for teens and adults.

Location: Painswick Branch – Massie Family Program Room
