SUMMARY:“Uno” by Raul Pous Facha
DESCRIPTION:Meet Raul: Architect\, Artist\, and Digital Fabrication Visionary\n\n\n\n“I’m Raul\, an architect and artist of Mexican origin\, now based in Canada since 2022. My lifelong fascination with materials and manufacturing techniques has deeply influenced my approach to design. While I’ve always appreciated the artistry and individuality of handmade products\, I’ve also recognized the challenges they face in achieving precision and consistent quality.\n\n\n\nThis curiosity led me to digital fabrication\, where I discovered the power to translate complex designs into reality with precision and control. Through the fusion of technology and craftsmanship\, I am able to create pieces that retain the unique essence of handmade work while elevating their quality and accuracy.”\n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: March 10 – 20\, 2025\n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 13 from 4:00pm-5:30pm\n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday\, 12pm-4pm\n\n\nTo learn more\, visit us at: https://visacgallery.com/exhibitions/#unoraulpousfacha

SUMMARY:Nelson Sketch Comedy Revue: Volume II
DESCRIPTION:After selling out the Capitol Theatre in November 2024 with the premiere of Nelson Sketch Comedy Revue\, we’re back—bigger\, bolder\, and weirder than ever. \nThis show is a love letter to the phrase “Keep Nelson Weird.” It’s a live show packed with fast-paced\, scripted comedy. Each scene is short\, sharp\, and completely original—written and performed by the cast. Expect the return of Nelson News Tonight—and if you don’t know what that is… well\, we won’t spoil it for you.  \nWhat audiences said about our last show: \n“That was such an amazing show! Maybe the best I’ve seen in Nelson\, honestly. Please do it again!”\n “I haven’t laughed that much in a long time.”\n “We loved it so so much and can’t wait to see the next show!”\n“PEOPLE IN THE BATHROOM CAN”T STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD THE SHOW IS!!!! AHHH!!!!!” \nThe Cast: \nJaymes Bowman \nMichelle Hart \nEmma Hill \nRuby Horton \nKait Hundt-Lippett \nRuth Krulitsky \nJonathan Ramos \n  \nWith special guest\, Jackie Atkins!  \n  \nDirected by Michelle Hart  \nThis 90-minute production\, including an intermission\, features mature content—parental discretion is advised. \nDue to the incredible response to our last show\, we’re thrilled to add a second performance! Don’t miss your chance to catch us at the Capitol Theatre on May 15 or May 27

SUMMARY:Author Event: Tom Langford at the Fernie Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join writer and academic Tom Langford to present this new and welcome addition to Fernie’s history! \nDoors at 7pm. Free Admission. \nNibbles and cash bar included\, and early-release copies will be available for purchase. \nThe Canadian postwar economic boom did not include the Crowsnest Pass and Elk Valley. The Lights on the Tipple Are Going Out tells the story of our fight for survival. \nUnderground mine closures began in 1950\, prompting various attempts by coal companies\, labour unions\, leftist political parties\, municipal governments\, and business groups to save the local economy. Efforts to reindustrialize in the mid-1960s brought unregulated\, pell-mell growth\, unsafe working conditions\, and extreme pollution. Starting in 1968\, however\, the tide turned again as new mountaintop strip mines were built to produce metallurgical coal for Asia-Pacific steelmakers. \nToday\, in the face of the climate crisis\, green steel manufacturing is being developed that eliminates the use of CO2-emitting coal. In the coming decades\, as this book argues\, the Crowsnest Pass and Elk Valley will need to stress ecosystem restoration\, sustainable economic activities\, and the inclusion of First Nations at the centre of economic decision making in order to embrace a future beyond coal.

We’re stoked to welcome Cindy Devine—world champion downhill mountain biker and absolute legend—for a ride through her incredible career\, starting at 6 pm on Thursday\, May 22 at the Rossland Museum. \nCindy will share how her active childhood laid the foundation for becoming the very first UCI World Downhill Mountain Bike Champ in 1990.
