Review: CANDLELIGHT®: THE BEST OF HANS ZIMMER at Grace Presbyterian Church
by Amanda Barnum - Mar 22, 2026
The Candlelight® concert series is a special treat for music lovers of all ages and varying music tastes. The concert took place in an ecclesiological Gothic Revival style church built in 1911 - 1912 with a behemoth organ at its centre.

With thousands of candles delicately placed throughout the space, the ambience was surreal as night fell upon us.

Review: AN IMMERSIVE VOYAGE ON TITANIC at Union Station
by Alan Portner - Nov 24, 2025
Titanic… An Immersive Experience. The Exhibit has opened at Union Station for a multi-month run through April of 2026. The key word is “Immersive.”
“Immersion” means that audience members are meant to feel like they are part of the experience. The Titanic Immersion Voyage is the next logical step towards achieving what it must have been like to have been aboard the RMS Titanic on that cold April night in back 1912, 400 miles east of Newfoundland when she struck an iceberg, foundered, and lost 1500 of her passengers and crew to the icy north Atlantic while on her maiden voyage to New York.
