WOMEN WHO DIG Documentary Film – Community Screening

WOMEN WHO DIG showcases Canadian women on a journey to combat food insecurity and the industrial farm system by utilizing traditional farming techniques rooted in ancestral history. The small family farm is often perceived to be an occupation of the past that is being overtaken by large-scale industrial farming practices. Big Ag wreaks havoc on our global climate, all the while creating a GMO monoculture that contributes to an enormous loss of our planet’s biodiversity. Adapted from the book Women Who Dig: Farming, Feminism, and the Fight to Feed the World by Trina Moyles, this documentary, filmed over the course of three years in cinema veritas, offers an intimate portrait of the lesser-told story of women farmers and land stewards pushing back against industrial practices.

There will be a Q&A before the film screening.

Join Anna Kuelken, Trina Moyles, and the film’s powerhouse cast—five female farmers and land stewards from Western Canada—for a thought provoking discussion on the making of this project as well as vital themes of gender equality, social justice, food sovereignty and climate change, facilitated by poet and author Rayanne Haines.

Date: Thursday, October 23, 2025, 6:45 pm MT

Location: Metro Cinema, 8712 – 109 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta

The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, with Kappella Kyrie

The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, with Kappella Kyrie

Saturday, November 8, 2025 | 7:30 to 9:30 pm

Join Pro Coro Canada and guests Kappella Kyrie (dir. Melanie Turgeon) as we explore one of the most celebrated liturgies of the Eastern Christian tradition, full of heart and steeped in mysticism throughout the rich tapestry of sound.

Canadian composer Peter-Anthony Togni's setting of The Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom is a call for compassion and charity in troubled times. John Chysostom was himself a famed speaker and prolific author of the early church, as well as the Archbishop of Constantinople, known for his emphasis on caring for the poor and less-fortunate in his homilies. While inspired by the classic setting of the liturgy by Rachmaninoff, Togni considers this setting as a prayer for peace in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Experience a profound and moving evening through the Alberta premiere of this beautiful work as we embark on a deeply spiritual and emotional journey together.

Venue: St Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral
10825 - 97 Street
Edmonton, AB T5H 2M4

LitFest: The Poetry of Public Art

Join Edmonton Arts Council on October 19 at Boa & Hare (#127, 10520 97 Street) for a celebration of public art and poetry, as we mark 30 years of the Edmonton Arts Council and the addition of the 300th public artwork to the City of Edmonton Public Art Collection with a month of 300@30 activities and events! 

Mary Burlie was a force of compassion, devoting her life to lifting up others. Known lovingly as the ​“Black Angel of Boyle Street”, she served on the front lines of inner-city Edmonton, offering food, shelter, support, and above all, dignity to those most in need. 

As part of the City of Edmonton’s revitalization project of Mary Burlie Park in downtown Edmonton, the Edmonton Arts Council has selected three local poets to create poetry that will be incorporated into the park design. In advance of the park opening in 2026, join Edmonton Arts Council, the family of Mary Burlie, and poets Titilope Sonuga, Naomi McIlwraith, and Cui Jinzhe for a morning of stories and spellbinding poetry. 

This event is free to attend, but please pre-register to reserve your spot
