Join us on Tuesday, June 30, at 2pm for a screening of the film
Namesake

A documentary directed by Dr. Evan Adams & Eileen Francis

A film about place, memory, and what it means to live together.

In the coastal community widely known as Powell River, a request from the Tla’amin Nation sets off a public conversation. What happens when a place is asked to remember differently? Through interviews, archival records, oral histories, and community gatherings, Namesake follows the unfolding discussion around a possible name change for the city and the deeper question beneath it: whose stories live in the place we call home?


It is a great honour to welcome the filmmaking team, who will be present for conversation following the film. Please come and take advantage of this amazing opportunity to hear their story and learn about their journey!

This event will take place at the House of the Klahoose People
1740 Tork Road (past the Multipurpose Building)
Door opens 1:45pm, film 2:00pm, snacks (by donation) and discussion 3:30pm
Cash donations accepted at the door — suggested donation $10
