An Evening with Jack Gin at The Vic Theatre

What happens when an engineer, entrepreneur and philanthropist becomes a filmmaker and ‘History Hunter’?

Join Jack Gin, director of the award-winning One of OURS: The Story of Private Fred Lee, for an entertaining and thought-provoking evening exploring his passion for uncovering stories from the past and bringing them to life through film.

A Vancouver-born and raised “east ender” and UBC engineer, Jack turned to filmmaking later in life.

For the past six years, he has been developing his next film, The Boys of Kamloops, and this special event will offer audiences a preview of his work to date.

Rather than a traditional lecture, Jack has planned the evening in a lively talk-show format, joined by Sonny Wong of Hamazaki Wong for conversation, stories, and reflections – moderated by VCMS Board Chair Grace Wong Sneddon.

Guests will also enjoy a special preview of The Boys of Kamloops, ahead of its planned release next year.

This event is free, tickets can be reserved here.

• Where: The Vic Theatre, 808 Douglas Street
• When: Tuesday, November 8th – 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Cory Weeds: Hip To Be Square at The Coda

One of the great pop songbooks of the 80s gets handed off to a hard-swinging organ band as saxophonist Cory Weeds marks the release of Hip To Be Square – Plays Huey Lewis & The News.

The new album brings the music of Huey Lewis & The News back to its roots, stripping away the production’s polish and rebuilding it as greasy soul-jazz.

Weeds, joined by Kansas City organist Chris Hazelton plus guitarist David Rourke and drummer Rudy Petschauer from New York, takes on hits like “Hip to Be Square,” “The Power Of Love” and “I Want A New Drug,” leaving the melodies intact while remaking them into swinging organ-jazz workouts.

The quartet captured their raw energy in the studio following a 2025 US tour.

Now, to celebrate the release of Hip To Be Square, they deliver the same spontaneity and fun in spades. You may know the songs, but you’ve never heard them like this.

Tickets are $25 and can be purchased here.

• Where: The Coda, 751 View Street
• When: Tuesday, November 10th – 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
