Trail: Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? by Axis Theatre
2026-03-01 15:00 - 16:15 (America/Vancouver) | Charles Bailey Theatre, 1501 Cedar Ave, Trail, British Columbia, V1R 4C7, Canada
The Trail & District Arts Council and Rossland Council for Arts and Culture present Where Have All the Buffalo Gone? by Axis Theatre, a captivating show for kids in Grade 4 to 12, their families and the young at heart to enjoy together. The show is on Sunday, March 1 at 3:00 pm in The Bailey Theatre and is part of the TECK Family Series.
Where Have All The Buffalo Gone? is a love-story that transcends time as it follows two souls through seven different periods of Métis history. Filled with stories about the Sun Traveller and the Callihoo family, the performance is a theatre piece that incorporates fiddle music, jigging, and a life-like buffalo puppet.
Inspired by historical events of the Métis people of Canada, this original play for young audiences explores the loves, the losses and the fight of Treaty 6’s Métis people – and their love and kinship to the buffalo.
The play takes the audience through the emergence of the Métis Nation across the plains, then leads into the robust colonization that arises from the fur trade, the disappearance of the buffalo, as well as the political uprising of the Métis Association of Alberta in the 1930s. The story starts in creation among the stars and ends in 2024.

The Creston Valley Public Library is participating again for our fourth annual free film screening in conjunction with National Canadian Film Day.

“Dean Youngblood, a top hockey prospect in the minor leagues, faces the prospect of his career ending early when he’s suspended for an on-ice incident. Given a new chance on a new team, he has to face his aggression head-on to get back on track and lead his team to a championship.
Drawing inspiration from the 80s cult classic of the same name, Director Hubert Davis expertly captures the drama both on and off the ice, with incredible performances and exhilarating hockey sequences.”
“In an age when sports movies often feel either overly sentimental or clumsily macho, ‘Youngblood’ finds a refreshing sweet spot that’s emotionally intelligent, grounded, and deeply human.” — Louisa Moore, Screen Zealots

An unforgettable, moving and hilarious show from Jamie Adkins, a performer in the vaudeville tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. With no hi-tech distractions, he heroically battles with everyday objects, always on the verge of disaster. The story of a man who tries, but fails, to tell us something!
A story told with touching humor, witty tomfoolery, and acrobatic exploits both on the ground and on the slack rope! Enchanter of almost nothing, juggler of almost everything, Jamie Adkins performs astonishing and wacky acrobatic circus feats. All the while engaging the audience without dialogue but only with sounds and gestures.
Watch the trailer https://vimeo.com/72838781?share=copy.
“His spontaneous improvisation and sensitivity to his audience make each performance unique. […] Adkins is a master of comic timing who seems to be having as much fun as his audience.” – Chronicle Telegraph
“Contagious madness. […] Interaction with the young audience is the driving force behind this show. With his friendly face and funny acts…Circus Incognitus is a show for the whole family. Everyone will find something for them, from the youngest to the parents. It’s fun, entertaining and it’s timely.” – carrefourdequebec.com
Circus Incognitus is a pure marvel that chases away all the gray clouds in the sky to explode with joy and light up stars in your eyes. It’s brilliant, there are no other words.” – Le Soleil (Quebec)
Show 65 minutes.
Recognized as one of the most talented contemporary circus artists in Canada, Jamie Adkins has performed Circus Incognitus over 1,200 times across 27 countries and continues to captivate audiences with his unique blend of skill and humour.
“Here is a clown who transforms the trivial into the marvelous, the banal into the extraordinary and the everyday into a fairy tale.” — Les Inrockuptibles (France)
A renowned acrobat, juggler, and magnificent clown, Jamie Adkins began his career at 13 as a street performer in his San Diego neighborhood, where he delighted pedestrians. Later, in San Francisco, he continued his apprenticeship at the Pickle Family Circus. Now a Canadian citizen living in Quebec, he is a former member of Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Éloize, and distinguishes himself with his unique style that faithfully and humorously conveys the essence of the ordinary man.

Note. I am a photographer that has applied for a CKCA grant for 2026 to photograph the Cranbrook Rodeo. Lily Anderson had suggested posting the event on your calendar. The event is on the Pro Rodeo Circuit calendar. However the details of the rodeo are not out yet. I will update as more info comes out.
