FilmConnect's First Wrap Party
2026-08-23 17:00 - 20:00
You made a film. Possibly on no sleep. Possibly while questioning your life choices at 3am with a camera in one hand and cold coffee in the other. Now it’s time to see it where it belongs — on a big screen.
Not the theatre kind. We’re not quite there yet. But considerably bigger than the phone you’ve been forcing your friends to squint at. A real screen, a real room, and your work in front of a real audience.
And here’s the part the internet can’t give you: you’ll finally get to meet the people you’ve been collaborating with, commenting on, and connecting with online — in person. Same creative community, except now with faces, handshakes, and the strange novelty of talking without a keyboard. Turns out filmmakers exist in three dimensions. Who knew.
Come for your premiere. Stay for the people. Your first drink’s on us, because you’ve earned it.

Friday Jazz with the Broadview Trio
2026-08-28 20:00 - 23:00
The Broadview Trio brings their signature sound to Heliopolis every fourth Friday of the month!
Named after the historically known Broadview Boulevard—now Memorial Drive—this Calgary-based jazz trio has been making waves in the local scene since early 2023. Featuring Scott Marshall on guitar, Adam Pettigrew on upright bass, and Mark Alexander on drums, The Broadview Trio blends modern influences with classic jazz sensibilities, offering a fresh yet timeless sound.
