Thank you so much to everyone who came out to our Scale of Change Film Screening with Hooké last Wednesday!

We had over 110 folks attend to watch three documentaries on water, fish, fishing, parks, protected areas, and nature and to hear the inimitable spoken word poetry of Audrey Lane Cockett 🍿🎬❤️

We are so grateful to have had two of the film directors in attendance — Renaud Furlotte and Juliette Larocque — for generous door prizes from Hooké, and for delicious beverages from Born Brewing and Wild Life Distillery.

Cheers to an evening of conservation film, and to many more days and nights spend in community, celebrating the wild spaces and species we love 🍻
