Subject: Documentary Screening of "Malartic” on December 5 at the Minden Hills Cultural Centre

Join Minden Hills Cultural Centre and Haliburton County Public Library for a special screening of “Malartic” (2024) on Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 1:00 p.m.  

The documentary by Nicolas Paquet examines the disparity between the wealth generated by a large open-pit gold mine in Malartic and the town's economic decline. It highlights the imbalance of power, where local residents have little influence over decisions affecting their community. Through a mix of anthropological study and investigative journalism, the film explores issues of transparency and fair land management.

Admission is free. All ages are welcome. No pre-registration is required. The documentary is provided courtesy of the National Film Board (NFB).

The Minden Hills Cultural Centre is located at 176 Bobcaygeon Road, Minden, Ontario, and is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information, visit the Cultural Centre’s social media calendar page: https://www.facebook.com/mindenculturalcentre/
