Students will create a fun and infinitely loveable character cup to be proud of. After a lunchbreak, they will add additional details and colour to their pieces.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt
By Jeffrey Archer
Directed by Gordon McInnis
November 3 – 20, 2022
“Exciting, good plot and surprisingly entertaining in spite of the morbid story.”
“The classic ‘did he?’ or ‘didn’t he?’ build up with a good twist at the end.”
Accused of the wilful murder of his terminally ill wife, Sir David Metcalf finds himself locked in legal combat with his old rival, Anthony Blair-Booth QC. After a tense and gripping courtroom scene, Act I ends just as we are about to hear the jury’s verdict. Act II takes us back in time to the fateful night of Lady Metcalfe’s death and ends with a surprising twist.

The Town of Ladysmith is entering the final phase of public engagement for the draft Official Community Plan (OCP) and we continue to welcome your feedback in helping to shape this long-term vision for our community.
The draft OCP is available on the Town’s website for viewing and you’re encouraged to browse the document. You can also pick up a copy at either City Hall, Development Services or the FJCC. The draft OCP lays out proposed policy initiatives for managing growth and change in a way that helps our community meet its goals, including a section specific to implementation.
The Town is hosting a drop-in open house on Saturday, November 5, 2022 from 9am – 2pm at Aggie Hall where we are once again welcoming your input on the draft OCP prior to its final adoption by Ladysmith Council.
The Ladysmith Kinsmen Club will be hosting a free pancake breakfast for attendees on that day. We greatly appreciate their support in helping bring the community together for this important public engagement event.
Additionally, a final survey is also now live for you to provide feedback.
Tell us how well you think some of the OCP’s big opportunities will help realize the vision and goals for Ladysmith. The survey asks you to weigh your opinion on 13 potential opportunities presented in the OCP, as well as provides an opportunity for written feedback.
Lastly, the public can submit their input by email to ocp@ladysmith.ca.

Historically Speaking Series: War & Yorke Island
2022-11-08 19:00 - 20:00 | BC
Many Vancouver Islanders have never heard of Yorke Island, and are unaware that a substantial defence fort was built there in the late 1930s. With the use of archival photos and artwork from private and museum collections, Vancouver Island historian Catherine Gilbert will be delivering a pictorial presentation on Tuesday, Nov 8, 7pm as part of the Ladysmith & District Historical Society’s “Historically Speaking” series.
Gilbert, author of Yorke Island and the Uncertain War, Defending Canada’s Western Coast During World War II will answer the question about where Yorke Island is, why its location was considered to be strategic in the 1930s and why it was significant to Canada’s World War II efforts.
The talk is free and presented via zoom. Please email museum@ladysmithhistoricalsociety.ca for a link.
