    Collingwood, ON [4 November 2024] – The Collingwood Museum and the Collingwood Legion Military Museum are pleased to announce the latest installation in the popular Community Collectors series.

    Join Museum staff and Legion members on Thursday, November 21 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for a special come-and-go Collectors Night at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 63, located at 490 Ontario Street. Explore the historic displays in the Legion’s Military Museum and learn about the contributions of local men and women to Canada’s war effort. Admission to the event is free.

Items on display include uniforms, medals, and equipment from the First and Second World Wars. This special exhibit will be on display until the end of 2024.

The Collingwood Museum will remain open until 1:00 p.m. An in-house exhibit entitled Funding Victory: The Power of Posters during the Second World War will also be available.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
