Events & Programs
Commemorate Remembrance Day at The Rooms with a screening of Trail of the Caribou, a powerful documentary that tells the story of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment during the First World War.
Hosted by Allan Hawco and Mark Critch, the film follows their journey through Türkiye, Belgium, and France as they trace the footsteps of the regiment. Along the way, they explore the profound sacrifices and lasting impact of those who served overseas in this pivotal conflict.
The 45-minute documentary will be shown on a continuous loop in The Rooms’ Theatre. This film is presented courtesy of CBC – Newfoundland & Labrador.
This is a free drop-in screening; no ticket is required.
