🎬 Special Offer for Plaid Marquee Film Society Members!

We’re excited to partner with the DeCoste Performing Arts Centre to bring our community a special 2-for-1 ticket offer for the acclaimed documentary Clairtone!

Discover the incredible rise and fall of one of Canada’s most iconic companies. Through rare archival footage and captivating storytelling, Clairtone explores the visionary electronics brand that revolutionized design in the 1960s before its dramatic collapse.

🏭 For Pictou County, this story hits close to home. In 1966, Clairtone opened its state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Stellarton, creating hundreds of local jobs and inspiring hope for the region’s future. It’s a fascinating look back at a defining chapter in our community’s history.
