Escape Room - Spy Games
Jun

Escape Room - Spy Games

What’s an escape room? Well, it’s a game. We don’t lock you in a room, but we will close the door behind you. Once the game begins, your mission is to locate clues hidden around the room. If you solve them all, you win the game. There isn’t a prize, but you do get bragging rights. Pretty cool, hey?

The game can be played solo, or you can have a team of up to five people. It’s up to you. The game is geared for teens/adults - though you are welcome to bring children as long as they are supervised.

To register, please complete the form below.

The Justice Project - with Al Troove

The Justice Project - with Al Troove

Al Troove is better known around Fort St. James and Nak’azdli as Al Trampuh. Born and raised in Vanderhoof, A.T. studied classical composition in Winnipeg, followed by justice studies in Winnipeg and Ottawa. He’s been back in the area since 2018, playing at the Farmers’ Market and July 1st celebrations, giving music lessons at the Nak’azdli Youth Centre, street playing, and performing at church events. The songwriter developed various brands, including Al Troove Music, which focuses on political and nation-building music; themes of a better society; and instrumentals for both therapeutic well-being and fun.

The Justice Project will be presented through principles, poems, and song, on May 31st at Pope Mountain Arts. Recent international events in 2025 spurred several new songs. The main single in current development is WORLD, available as a demo track on YouTube.

Tickets are not required for this event. Admission is by donation (suggested $20).

100 Houses Project - Art Exhibit

100 Houses Project - Art Exhibit

Mo Hamilton’s 100 House Project

Artist Statement:

The 100 Houses Project is a compilation of 100 block prints depicting houses in different scenarios. I began this project in 2016 as a means to explore varying concepts of home and to consider the state of our contemporary time. As a whole, the project represents a cross section of human experience, capturing both every-day life and the impact of large-scale events.

Some of my prints are based on relatively familiar circumstances, such as moving from one community to another. Other prints consider the effects of wildfire evacuations, economics, environmental disaster, war, and homelessness. In spite of presenting seemingly negative situations, this body of work also reveals moments of joy and community, inferring positive experiences can prevail even through difficult times.

Within my work the house represents the self and is an expression of identity. For me, home is a refuge – a place where one can be their truest self and find respite from the worlds outward expectations. I believe that we all have a need to experience home in this way, but acknowledge that sometimes events beyond one’s control can disrupt any sense of security they may have. In this way, The 100 Houses Project tells a story of how humans adapt to life’s changes and challenges.
