Some happy faces today! We played kickball and then had a sweet surprise from town councillor Peter Taylor who stopped by with timbits. It was great seeing you today Peter, and we cannot thank you enough for the treat! Great way to end an intense game of kickball!

SCOPE is coming to Hinton!
Did you know SCOPE has been working with amazing people with different abilities and needs since 1979? Did you know they started their first home in 1984? So many of our Hinton people live in Edson as Hinton does not yet have the resources but we're working on that!

Looking forward to sharing our community with some fun residents as they come over to Hinton and explore what we have to offer.

SCOPE is going drop in, in Hinton! We’d love for you to join us!

Paper Bag Plan

Oscar has dedicated his life to the well-being of his disabled son, Billy. When Oscar is diagnosed with cancer, he forges a plan to train his son the intricacies of bagging groceries in the hopes of landing Billy his first job and beginning a life of independence.

"Full of heart and emotion. You feel so much pride by the end of it. Completely in tears by the end of it. Definitely worth a watch."
Monaya on Letterboxd

"Oof, this one will kick you right in the feels, especially if you are a caregiver. Great, genuine performances by the actors, especially Cole Massie. This movie presents a perspective that many folks probably never think about."
Jolene MIttelstedt on Letterboxd

Screening Thursday, April 30th
Earlier time: 5:30PM
