Coffee House at the Lakeside Multiplex

The second Coffee House of the 2017/18 season takes place at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 3 at the Lakeside Multiplex. The event features local entertainers and a great selection of home-baked treats, plus coffee, tea and juice at intermission. All proceeds go to the Burns Lake Citizens on Patrol Society.

The Travelling Mabels in Burns Lake

The third performance in the Lakes District Arts Council performing arts season takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 6 at Lakes District Secondary School. The Travelling Mabels is a folk and country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman stands alone vocally, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together.

Rotary’s annual Radio Auction

The Burns Lake Rotary Club’s major annual fundraising event takes place Nov. 15 and 16. Watch for more information coming soon, and don’t miss this fun and exciting community event - live at the Heritage Centre, or on CFLD Radio.

Programs of interest at CNC

The Lakes District campus of the College of New Caledonia (CNC) is offering ‘existentialist philosophy and gesture drawing’ this fall. In this short 12-hour course (four three-hour classes) students will be dipping their metaphorical toes into some of the tantalizing philosophical thoughts of such thinkers as Michel Foucault, Martin Heidegger and Jean-Paul Sartre.

To help ease everyone into the sometimes mind-bending worlds these philosophers have perceived, students will be taking time out to explore their immediate world through gesture drawing – a perfect, relaxing, and creative accompaniment to the cognitive stretches of existentialist philosophy. CNC offers free tuition for this program.

The Lakes District campus will also be offering an introduction to Aboriginal studies this term, as well as an introduction to First Nations studies in the Lakes District. For more information about these and other courses, visit the Lakes District campus or phone 250-692-1700.
