Jasleen MahindruIn our biweekly column Social Intercourse, we share our picks for notable things happening on campus and in Edmonton. Check out all these amazing local events!
What: Cree Code Talker
When: November 11
Where: The Royal Alberta Museum
Admission: Free with admission
The Royal Alberta Museum will be screening Cree Code Talker, a short film that details Charles ‘Checker’ Tomkins as a code talker during the Second World War. Code talkers translated messages into Cree and then back into English to maintain secrecy, despite Cree being illegal to speak in Canada at the time. This film and the museum would be a great way to participate in Remembrance Day.
What: Crywank
When: November 7
Where: The Starlite Room
Admission: $32.61
United Kingdom-based antifolk project, Crywank, is playing at The Starlite Room on November 7. After a brief break up in 2019 and reforming in 2024 and releasing their tour demos, the new version of Crywank is definitely something to check out.
What: Billy Bishop Goes to War
When: Until November 8
Where: Biederman Theatre
Admission: $38.74
