Dave Graham and Peter McCully welcome Jennifer Bate, Executive Director of the McMillan Arts Center (The MAC), who discusses the historic building's significance, upcoming renovations, and its role as a cultural hub.

"I think that every community needs an artistic hub, a centre. Every artist needs a place where they feel that they have a sense of community,” says Bate. She details exciting upcoming events, including art exhibitions, workshops, and the celebration of Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere's 25th anniversary.

"You're never more exposed and raw than when you're singing for someone,” says Ken Lavigne, a founding member of the Canadian Tenors. Lavigne shares his musical journey, including his upcoming show "A Night at the Movies" with Van City Harmony.
