*REMINDER*“Working in the Woods Today” Museum Exhibit ~January 27th to April 22nd: ‘Working in the Woods Today’ is a photographic exhibit showcasing the recent history of logging that will be on display at the Museum at Campbell River beginning January 27, 2012. Curated by local photographer and writer Hans Peter Meyer, this exhibition features superb images with informative text about the men and women working in BC’s coastal forest industry in the 21st century. The exhibition is part of a bigger project to produce a large format photo book about BC’s coastal forest industry.
Meyer says that there is an abundance of images from the "glory days of logging," but almost nothing has been published since the 1950s about the industry as a place where real men and women work (in remote locations, and often under dangerous conditions). Meyer grew up in the Comox Valley, and as a young man, worked in the woods and on the booms, and then for several more years in reforestation. In 2002, he started photographing the coastal forest industry, first for Truck Logger Magazine. Examples of his work can be seen at www.coastalforestindustryproject.com. Be sure to come and see these outstanding photos while there are here! An official opening of the exhibit at the Museum with Meyer will take place in February. For further information, call the Museum at 250-287-3103.

Mr. Lazar ~ CR Film Festival: Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Philippe Falardeau, Monsieur Lazhar is one of the most gripping Québécois films of the last decade.

THURSDAY March 8th
Double Bill: The Human Statues and The Good Lovelies: Originally from Vancouver Island, The Human Statues are on a mission to spread "jubilation" across the nation. Often described as a cross-breed between the Flight of the Conchords and Simon and Garfunkel, Jeff Bryant and Zach Stevenson blend an energetic pop sensibility with humour, lyrical depth and love of vocal harmony.
How the Good Lovelies (Caroline Brooks, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore) got together is a bit of a mystery: Sue remembers meeting her band mates during a limbo competition, Caroline thinks they met at a chess tournament, but Kerri is convinced they first crossed paths during a bar fight... Whatever the story may be, the ladies immediately realized they had something special, so they hit the road on a mission to charm Canadian audiences coast to coast. Funny and upbeat, with just a pinch of sass, the Good Lovelies' three-part harmonies, constant instrument swapping and witty on-stage banter will keep your toes tapping and a smile on your face.
At the Tidemark Theatre, starts at 7:30pm. For more info call 250-287-7465. Tickets on sale now for $27. www.tidemarktheatre.com
