SUMMARY:Chester Playhouse presents Duane Andrews and the Hot Club of Conception Bay
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for a night of musical fusion\, peppering 1930s roots jazz with traditional folk influences\, as we welcome Duane Andrews and the Hot Club of Conception Bay! \n\n\n\nDuane Andrews casts a wide net in the musical ocean. Uniting what would seem to be impossible – traditional Newfoundland music with the swing jazz of the legendary two-fingered guitarist Django Reinhardt\, Andrews makes it not just work – he makes it soar.  \n\n\n\nThe Juno award winning composer\, arranger\, producer\, conductor and globetrotting performer’s latest album is the best evidence yet of his inimitable musical vision and is the sound of him\, literally\, bringing it all back home.  \n\n\n\nHe’ll be joined by the hottest swing band in the bay The Hot Club of Conception Bay featuring Erin Power with her magical mandolin and vibrant vocals and Nova Scotia’s Donald MacLennan with his fiddle of fire!

SUMMARY:WILDFIRE RESILIENCE: PROTECTING YOUR HOME
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday April 17th at 7:00 PM for a public lecture by licensed architect Gregory MacNeil\, presented by the South Shore Network of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). \n\n\n\nClimate change is leading to larger\, hotter\, and more frequent wildfires in Canada\, extending the wildfire season to wider areas. This trend has significant implications for both ecosystems and infrastructure. To address these challenges\, Canadians must strengthen their resilience to wildfires and minimize the risk of losing their homes and properties. \n\n\n\nThis lecture will focus on wildfires in wildland-urban interface (WUI) and intermix zones\, emphasizing FireSmartTM strategies for safeguarding homes in areas where natural land meets residential development. This discussion will highlight practical\, science- backed strategies you can implement to improve your wildfire preparedness and protect your home. \n\n\n\nThis is a free event—no registration required.
