FRIDAY NIGHT FILMS - 7:00 PM

We were children

Sept. 26, 2025

In this feature film, the profound impact of the Canadian government’s residential school system is conveyed through the eyes of two children who were forced to face hardships beyond their years. As young children, Lyna and Glen were taken from their homes and placed in church-run boarding schools, where they suffered years of physical, sexual and emotional abuse, the effects of which persist in their adult lives. We Were Children gives voice to a national tragedy and demonstrates the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

Nov. 7, 2025

Heroin(e) - Once a bustling industrial town, Huntington, West Virginia has become the epicenter of America's modern opioid epidemic, with an overdose rate 10 times the national average. This flood of heroin now threatens this Appalachian city with a cycle of generational addiction, lawlessness, and poverty. But within this distressed landscape, Peabody Award winning filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon shows a different side of the fight against drugs; one of hope.

Hearth - A short documentary on homelessness in Victoria, made by Pearson College students.

the goldeN Dream

Cancelled - Nov. 28, 2025

Juan, Sara, and Samuel, three teenagers from the slums of Guatemala, travel to the United States in search of a better life. On their journey through Mexico, they meet Chauk, an Indian from Chiapas who doesn't speak Spanish. Traveling together in freight trains and walking on railroad tracks, they soon have to face an odyssey that will change their lives forever.

Metchosin Community Association Award winners!

Alysha Becker (Pictured with MCA President Kyara Kahakauwila) is one of the first recipients of a $1,000 Metchosin Community Award.

The award will help her pursue her educational goals at the University of Edinburgh as she works toward a degree in Veterinary studies.

Will Jackson also won an MCA Award. This award recognizes Will's committed connections to Metchosin through family, school, work, and play. His hard work and diligence are truly inspiring, and we are confident that you will continue to excel as you pursue your Bachelor's Of Music degree Humber Polytechnic in Toronto.
