Date of Event: Friday & Saturday Nights in May
Event Information:CentreStage presents: Mr. Pim Passes By Set in the 1920's drawing room of an English country home, the simple plot has to do with whether the mistress of the house's second marriage is a bigamous one, since her first husband may not be dead. This intelligence is delivered by the nervous, cuddly Mr. Pim, who periodically returns to add to the chaos he began. Mr. Pim Passes By is a delightful comedy written by A.A. Milne (of Winnie the Pooh fame). Set in the charming day of the fashionable 1920's, the personal foibles and personalities of the characters will keep the audience in suspense. The audience will find itself laughing and chuckling all the way through the performances, identifying eccentricities and errors they could well identify in their own lives. The audience will be riveted to the grandeur of Aunt Julia, the insensitivity of George, the love and care of his wife, Olivia, and the innocence of Mr. Pim as he stirs the pot of a cauldron of human personalities. Although there is nothing in the show that is offensive to children, it is most appropriate for those nine and older who would likely understand the storyline. My Pim Passes By is directed by Roger Prentice and stars LeRoy Heffernan, Nancy Henry, Sherrie Howatt, Emily Oickle Fong, Alex Trimper, Samantha Vinqvist and Bob Cook.This show is sponsered by Pizzazz Bistro. Mr. Pim Passes By opens on Friday, April 20th and continues playing Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm until May 26th. There will be Sunday 2pm matinees on May 6th and 20th. To make reservations phone 678-8040. For more information visit www.centrestagetheatre.ca. CentreStage Theatre is located at 61 River Street , Kentville.

Event Information: The CPS 2012 Canadian Safe Boating Awareness Week, in partnership with Transport Canada, will take place from Coast to Coast to Coast in Canada from May 26 to June 1, 2012 Canada's leader in recreational boating training, the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS), is a non-profit organization formed in 1938 with over 30,000 members in over 180 Squadrons and Districts across the country. CPS is presenting this initiative in conjunction with its industry partners, to promote and encourage safe boating practices to all boaters. The purpose of the CPS 2012 Canadian Safe Boating Awareness Week is to ensure that all Canadians who head out on the waters in canoes, kayaks, sailboards, fishing boats, personal watercraft, powerboats, cruisers and houseboats are equipped with the knowledge required to have an enjoyable day on the water, and to bring you home safely. This year, the Halifax Power and Sail Squadron is concentrating on one of the single greatest causes on drowning in Nova Scotia Waters: Cold Shock What is it? It is the exact same reaction we all experience when we climb into a shower and accidentally turn on the cold water: we involuntarily take a deep breath. It is this same reaction that happens when we fall overboard, except we often ingest up to a full litre of water into our lungs.
