Alone Across the Arctic

Free Popcorn Night at the Silver Screen Drive-In!

$12/person – Maximum 6 people per car as per Provincial Health Orders

Celebrate Canada Day on Thursday, July 1 at 9:30 pm with explorer Adam Shoalts as he embarks on a record-breaking estimated 4000 km journey across the Canadian Arctic by canoe and on foot, alone. Our partners at Waneta Plaza want to make your Canada Day weekend even more special by treating every car to a free bag of popcorn!

Hailed as one of the greatest living explorers, and “Canada’s Indiana Jones,” Adam Shoalts embarks on an epic and death-defying four-month solo journey across the uncharted Canadian Arctic wilderness. From the Yukon to Nunavut, Shoalts relies on his well-honed survival skills in a race against the elements, navigating the treacherous and uncharted waterways before the deadly grip of winter renders the terrain impassable.

In 2016 Shoalts was named a national champion of the Trans-Canada Trail and in 2018 Explorer-in-Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. The documentary “Alone Across the Arctic” is the accompanying piece to the best-selling book “Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada’s Arctic” by Adam Shoalts. Where the book represents the mental and spiritual journey in comparison the documentary details the physical journey. Stunning visuals that barely capture the vastness of the North. A must-see for anyone who has ever considered a wilderness adventure in the Far North!
