EARTH DAY MOVIE, HOSTED BY OUR ROTARY CLUB

🎬 Film begins at 7:00 PM
🚪 Doors open at 6:30 PM
💚 Pay What You Can Admission

Narrated by Woody Harrelson, Kiss the Ground is an inspiring and groundbreaking documentary that reveals one of the most promising solutions to our climate crisis. Through compelling visuals, striking NASA and NOAA footage, and clear, engaging storytelling, the film shows how regenerating the world’s soils can rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore ecosystems, and help create abundant food supplies.

🌾 Special Guest Speaker + Q&A
We are honoured to welcome Sanna Huyssen from The New Farm in Creemore, Ontario. With a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of Guelph, Sanna is an exceptional and engaging speaker with deep expertise in regenerative agriculture. She will share insights and answer your questions following the screening.

This is an evening for anyone who cares about climate solutions, food systems, farming, nature, and community action. Come be informed, inspired, and empowered.

🌱 Bring a friend. Bring your curiosity. Bring hope.
Let’s celebrate Earth Day together.
