There is something for everyone at our annual three-day festival: movies that explore music, art and culture, engage humanitarian and social justice concerns and deal with environmental and international issues. Community support remains the heart of the festival: volunteers, patrons and community sponsors make the festival possible. We are a unique film festival: admission is, and always has been, by donation. This ensures that everyone is welcome and no one is turned away.

WWS is dedicated to preserving and promoting a harmonious coexistance between humans, wildlife and nature. WWS maintains a year-round wildlife rehabilitation facility where all injured and orphaned animals are accepted, rehabilitated and appropriately released back into their natural habitats. Wildlife that is deemed non releaseable may find sanctuary at WWS, and be considered for the WWS Educational Program, that is conducted for local schools, organizations and interest groups. Wildlife rehabilitation is a full-time labour of love that is not funded by the government or any of its agencies. Our on-going endeavours to promote awareness and responsibility for our native wildlife and to rehabilitate the orphaned and injured, are supported solely by public, private and corporate donations. Help us make a difference now and for generations to come.

The Farmlands Trust Society was established in March 2008 to enhance the farming capability of Mt. Newton Valley, rehabilitate the stream ecology of Hagan Creek and create a community trail system.
