The Stonehurst House Salon, set for Saturday, April 8, is a fundraising event for the re-election campaign of Nicholas Simons, BC NDP candidate for Powell River-Sunshine Coast in the May 9 provincial election.
The salon will feature members of the Driftwood Players in period costume, playing the roles of Dr. Frederick Inglis and James S. Woodsworth and members of their families. The company will re-enact scenes from the time when the characters all lived together at Stonehurst.
Guests will also be treated to a high tea prepared by chef Doug Davis, followed by a little music from the early 1900s. Then, in the historical salon tradition of Stonehurst House, there’ll be an opportunity to gather in small discussion groups for conversations on current affairs in B.C.
The April 8 event begins at 3 p.m. at Stonehurst House B&B, 529 Gibsons Way, in Gibsons. Space is limited. Tickets for $100 (a portion will be tax deductible) are available at bcndp.ca/events, at the Simons campaign office at 5679 Cowrie St. in Sechelt and by phone at 604-740-3122.
