Join us for the launch of our monthly Greenflix.ca film series! Doors open at 7pm and the film starts at 7:30
Our Opening Night film is The Economics of Happiness. In addition to debunking mainstream-media myths about the benefits of a globalized economy, the film also offers inspiring examples of the growing number of alternative local economies improving quality of life in surprising ways for many around the world.
There will be a facilitated discussion after the screening for those who wish to stay and explore the film's message. The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, all around the world people are starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build, on a more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.

Protecting your health
BC Greens recognize that airborne illnesses and pollutants pose a significant health risk to everyone, especially the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, while caregivers, healthcare professionals, and support staff come into regular contact with vulnerable persons. When choosing venues, BC Greens prioritize outdoor spaces, and indoor spaces with good ventilation. In closed indoor spaces, we encourage attendees to wear well-fitting masks (N95, KN95, or KF94), especially during the respiratory-illness season.
Creating safe spaces
The BC Green Party is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal speaking opportunities. To support this commitment, all event attendees will be expected to follow the standards of our Safe Spaces Participant's Guide.
