Christmas Concert at Chatelech

In 2005 years after being hit by a car, doctors told Sechelt artist/author Sheila Leigh Williams to take a minimum of three years off work. This was when her research and production of kids books began.

It’s The Nutcracker weekend on the Sunshine Coast and tickets still remain for some shows at Raven’s Cry Theatre in Sechelt, from Saturday, Dec. 14 through Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 17. The dancers were hard at it in dress rehearsals on Dec.

Mid-December on the Sunshine Coast brings us more opportunities than any other time of year to see and hear musical and theatrical performances, many with a Christmas theme.

The Sunshine Coast Film Society has a problem, but it’s one any local society would love to have – it’s more than tripled its membership over the past six years.

Christmas time with Arbutus Sounds Chorus is filled with the joy of sharing our music with so many in our community. As an a cappella group we sing without accompaniment and as such our group is very portable.

An Orphan’s Christmas

Dozens of new street banners now grace the lampposts in Sechelt. Titled Raven and Salmon, the original artworks featured on the banners are the creation of local designer Lydia Avsec (COPILOT Design).
