Free Screening of Oscar-nominated film by Sturgeon Point Producer!

In DarknessThe buzz around the Point these days is the Academy Award nomination of “In Darkness”, a World War II film produced by Sturgeon Point resident Eric Jordan. Eric’s film has been nominated for an Oscar in the Best Foreign Film Category. Our congratulations go out to Eric and Faye on this exciting achievement!

A number of people have been asking where they can see the film, and in response to demand Eric has graciously arranged for a FREE screening at the Century Cinema on Kent Street in Lindsay on Tuesday, February 21, 7:15 p.m. All Sturgeon Pointers are invited! I hope to see many of you there.

As many of you know, Eric is a member of the SPA Board of Directors, primarily responsible for liason with the City on matters related to roads and other maintenance issues. Eric was also the driver behind the recent resident’s map that SPA published in 2011.

If you won’t be in the area on Feb 21, you’ll be able to see the film at select cinemas starting on February 17. Here are the relevant cinemas in Toronto and Ottawa:

Sturgeon Point History Project has started a blog!

The Sturgeon Point History Project wants to keep the momentum of the project continuing through the winter and thought that starting a blog would do that.  As well, it would be a great way to share some of the really interesting things that have come in through the door this summer. So many people of the community have contributed and the archive of images has really grown.

Please check out the blog, make comments and suggestions, and of course – send pictures!
