They are Sacred

They Are Sacred – Screening on June 4!

Advance tickets now available for They Are Sacred!

$5 ticket + optional donation to the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition

The First Words Preschool Speech and Language Program invites you to an evening of purpose and connection in support of the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition. Join us for the film screening of Sewâtsiwin: They Are Sacred, an intimate, moving documentary that reframes neurodiversity through an Indigenous lens, following a Cree father’s journey to honor his autistic son.

*This event is a rental. Normal Mayfair prices and memberships do not apply.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
