Sarnia Observer obituary
cinéSARNIA has for now cancelled the planned 2020-2021 season.
Greetings from the cineSARNIA Committee,
At our recent Annual General Meeting , the cineSARNIA board made the difficult decision to cancel its planned program for the 2020-2021 season. The current situation is ever evolving, and when safety and circumstances permit, we anticipate a return to planning screenings at the library.
Stay tuned to our website and Twitter to follow updates and other posts of interest.
If you are a current subscriber, please check your email for further information.
Rest assured that we will return when we can. We look forward to presenting films again and wish everyone wellness and happiness.
Thank you,
The cineSARNIA Committee

Sarnia goes to the Academy
Awards
Anne and Rauf Khan, parents of film director Sami Khan,
hosted a Night at the Oscars gala at the Sarnia Golf and
Curling Club on Oscars night. We all hoped that Sami's
short documentary "St. Louis Superman" would be selected for
that golden statue. Although it was not to be, we all
had a wonderful time.br />
