Reel Movie Mondays: At The Place of Ghosts (Sk+te’kmujue’katik) at Red Deer Polytechnic

Independent Film Series hosted by the MAG in partnership with the Toronto International Film Festival and Red Deer Polytechnic. Fall 2026 Film 1: At The Place of Ghosts (Sk+te’kmujue’katik) Bretten Hannam Canada | 2025 | 89m | English, French, Mi’kmaw | VVS Films | 14A Reel Movie Mondays opens this fall with a film that refuses to sit still in one genre. Mise’l and Antle were inseparable as kids and have not spoken in years. When a malevolent spirit from their shared past starts closing in, Mise’l returns to their home community to warn his brother, and the two set out on foot and by canoe into the forest that gives the film its name: a place where time comes unfixed, where memory and history refuse to stay in the past, and where the brothers will have to face what happened to them if they want it to stop. Two-spirit L’nu filmmaker Bretten Hannam spent roughly a decade making this, following their breakthrough feature Wildhood. It moves between horro

Art Speaks: The Art of Hardanger Embroidery Rediscovered at the MAG

Art Speaks is a learning series developed and delivered in partnership with the Red Deer Arts Council. oin presenter Betty Oldham for an exploration of Hardanger embroidery, a striking form of Norwegian cutwork with roots reaching back through earlier Asian and European needlework traditions. In Norway’s Hardanger region, embroiderers refined the distinctive open, geometric techniques that would come to decorate everything from everyday clothing to treasured household linens. When Norwegian immigrants settled in North America, they carried the tradition with them, and it continued to evolve into the Hardanger embroidery recognized today. Betty will trace that journey, from the earliest delicate silk and gauze lace through to the crisp linen and cotton work of more recent generations. A generous selection of Hardanger embroidered linens and clothing will be on display, and the evening includes a visit to the Norwegian Laft Hus embroidery collection.

Friday Family Fun Night: Glowing Jiggly Jellyfish at the MAG

Friday Family Fun Night brings families to the MAG for an evening of something different. The theme changes every time, from hands-on making to games to seasonal celebrations, but it is always drop-in, always at your own pace, and always designed for a range of ages. Come when it works and stay as long as it is going well. Wear your brightest neon or your whitest white, because the lights are going out in the Stewart Discovery Studio and the black lights are coming on. We are painting glowing jiggly jellyfish, the kind that wiggle, wobble, and jiggle when you carry them. Once they are made, they need somewhere to go, so there may be a jellyfish parade. There may also be a glow in the dark dance party. We are not making any promises, but we are not ruling anything out either 😉. Drop in when it suits you. Wear something you do not mind getting paint on, and remember that white and neon light up under black light while dark colours mostly disappear. Friday Family Fun Night is free to att

Downtown Walking Tour: Parkvale at the MAG

Guided walking tours of downtown Red Deer. Historic homes, original businesses, public art, and the stories behind the spots you pass by regularly. Most heritage walks show you the houses of people who could afford to be remembered. Parkvale is different. It was laid out in 1905 for working people, and the homes still standing there were built by the carpenters, railway workers, and shopkeepers who actually built Red Deer. This guided walk takes you through one of the city’s oldest residential areas, just east of the museum, and out through parts of Coronation Park and the Waskasoo neighbourhood. You will hear about the architecture, the families who lived in these houses, and what they were doing in the years when Red Deer was still deciding what kind of place it was going to be. In late September the whole route is usually under fall canopy, which does not hurt. This is the longest of our walking tours, roughly two hours at a steady pace with stops.

CIBC Run for the Cure - Red Deer

In 2026, breast cancer is expected to account for over 25% of new cancer cases in women – a reminder of how much works remain and why we must act now. With 1 in 8 women expected to face a diagnosis in their lifetime, breast cancer affects us all. This year, the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure is celebrating 35 years of bringing community, connection and hope to thousands of people across the country who have been affected by breast cancer. On Sunday, October 4, we’re inviting residents of all ages in the Red Deer area to join us at Bower Ponds to run or walk either 1 km or 5 km, in support of the breast cancer cause. Registration is now open, and participants can choose to fundraise individually or as part of a team. The Run is one powerful day of action – but the impact lasts far beyond. Because of funds raised through the CIBC Run for the Cure and decades of progress, breast cancer survival rates continue to rise. But more still needs to be done. Funds
