All year, in honour of the Canadian Tulip Festival’s Platinum Jubilee, we have been celebrating Classic Canada. From our Classics Bulb Campaign last fall to our weekly Social Media series, sharing the stories, people, places and things that make us Canadian.
There is nothing quite as uniquely Canadian as our National Film Board. Like an old friend, the classic NFB shorts we’ve all grown up with give us that warm familiar feeling of childhood whether you’re from rural Quebec or Downtown Toronto.
Today, the NFB offers award-winning and groundbreaking films from Canadian filmmakers that are visually stunning, and incredibly relevant. Weaving our themes of respect, for the original inhabitants of this land we occupy, and stewardship of the land we all depend upon, we have chosen films that speak to important issues of the past and the pressing problems facing our future.
We also honour our mission, commemorating the sacrifice for freedom and celebrating the unique cooperation that led to 77 years of enduring friendship across the Atlantic.
We hope you will enjoy our movie & tulips lineup and join us nightly in Commissioners Park at Dow’s lake beginning at 8:00 p.m. every night May 13th 23rd.
Movies & Tulips is FREE for all!
