Join us for a special screening of Stand: A SUP adventure through the Great Bear Rainforest.

Stand, the award winning documentary, takes viewers on a journey through the waters of B.C.'s west coast. Through the stories of an aboriginal high school class building their own stand-up paddleboards as a form of protest, the efforts of expedition stand-up paddler Norm Hann, and the powerful surfing of iconic west coast native Raph Bruhwiler, the diversity of people, landscape and wildlife that would be affected by an oil spill will be articulated. Stand will take you to the core of the issue and unfurl the soul of B.C.'s west coast one paddle stroke at a time.

“With the notoriously volatile open waters of Hectate Strait to the east and traditional Haida territory rising out of the ocean to the west, the expedition showcased what is at stake both in an environmental and cultural sense should oil tankers be allowed passage through these waters. The expedition presented many challenges, including consistent 50km days on the board, head winds, strong ocean currents, and times of complete isolation.”
