Feature film shoots scenes at Blackjacks Roadhouse - Leduc Representative

Link to the Past Productions, features several cast and crew members from Alberta. Including Edmonton-based director Gilbert Allen and several actors from Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer.No Apology follows five friends who reunite at a funeral of one of their sisters who has recently died from suicide. As the film progresses the woman's death starts to become more suspicious and one of the five friends begins to look guilty of murder.The production has used a variety of places in Leduc County over the month of February to bring the film to life."We've shot it pretty much all in the Royal Oaks neighbourhood, we used a local park for green space, we used some exteriors in Beaumont. Blackjacks was the closest thing to a casino we could find," Allen said.Blackjack's Roadhouse was chosen for its similarity in look to a small casino. Allen said owner Clarence Shields was incredibly accommodating."We needed something that looked like one of the smaller Las Vegas casinos and so we just found a gaming room that could pass for a Las Vegas casino and it was Blackjacks. Clarence is a big supporter of the arts community, he knew what we were trying to do and he just jumped in with both feet and said I'll make it happen."The film is currently in post-production and will likely be released in a few months' time.lberg@postmedia.com Let's block ads!

WEDNESDAY, March 27, 2019 - Lethbridge Herald

Holland. In 1956 he decided to immigrate to Canada, where he worked in the dairy and farming industry in Southern Alberta as well as in construction alongside Gus Peters (Peter's Drive In) in Calgary. In 1959, his brother Tony came to join him in Canada where they both worked together to eventually purchase a farm and start a dairy. They started with one cow, a stool and a hand separator. Together they built a successful dairy. Eventually Ted bought the farm across the road from the dairy and he tended to the land, raised pigs and beef cattle and eventually was content to farm the land. Ted sold the farm to his brother Tony in the early 1990's and moved to Lethbridge, where he turned his entire backyard into a garden and spent many years growing fresh produce for the food bank there. His backyard garden was able to donate up to 1 ton of produce in a year. Ted always had patience for his nieces and nephews who were often underfoot and loved to ride in the tractor with him. Known to us as "Teddo" he always had a joke for us, and all the kids had their turn to sit on his knee as we were growing up. Ted always was there for suppers and special occasions, greeting us with his signature handshake. We often went to Ted's to see what he was fixing, doing or inventing. Ted was the ultimate example of getting hard work done! Ted had a passion for charity. Living through the war and seeing the poor in Indonesia spurred him to live a humble, simple life and he was able to donate to a variety of charities over many years. A Prayer Service will be held at 7:00PM on Thursday, March 28, 2019, at the ST. CATHERINES ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, 762 Crescent Ave, Picture Butte, AB T0K 1V0. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2:00PM, on Friday, March 29, 2019, at the ST. CATHERINES ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, 762 Crescent Ave, Pic...

Convoy evokes Canadian pride in North Bay - Vermilion Standard

Monday afternoon.Caron, of North Bay, was waiting in the parking lot at Motion Canada on Gormanville Road for almost 100 vehicles, from small cars to big rigs, to pull in on their journey from Alberta to Parliament Hill with a message for federal politicians. Alexandre Caron "This is about more than pipelines," Caron says. "This is about government. This is about all the provinces having different issues. It's about getting back the political process."The United We Roll Convoy for Canada, a caravan of transports, work vehicles and personal automobiles, left Red Deer, Alta., last Thursday bound for Ottawa and a protest on Parliament Hill Tuesday."The media and the government have divided the provinces," Caron says. "We want to fight for our freedoms and our rights. We want fair government.""We are watching Justin Trudeau slowly strip away every right we had," Sarah Zaldinger, of Timmins, said as about two dozen supporters waited for the convoy to arrive, sharing updates on when the parade would roll into town."He is stripping the future of my children and their children and their children," Zaldinger said. "They are being set up for failure. Their rights, their future, will all be destroyed if we don't stand up now."Although she was not part of the convoy to North Bay, Zaldinger was going to join it Tuesday morning for the rally in Ottawa as part of her own objective of "direct democracy."And direct democracy is possible, she said.Zaldinger pointed to a recent Amber Alert sent to cellphone users across the province ...
