Today's Events & Programs
Have you ever wondered what it takes to climb a mountain?
Join us at The Rooms for an inspiring conversation with Michael Kirby, one of only four mountaineers from Newfoundland and Labrador to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
Michael will share his firsthand experience, the tools and techniques that made his journey possible, and the lessons learned along the way.
This event will also showcase early adventure and survival tools from The Rooms’ collection, connecting the spirit of survival across time.
We’ll also explore the teamwork behind such an extraordinary feat, from ground crews to the Sherpas whose traditional knowledge makes these treks possible.
Cost: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms Members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
The tools may change, but the essentials of survival remain the same: water and warmth.
