THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 7 pm: IN HER DEFENCE—BREACH OF TRUST—film about the case of Kerry Benjoe, CENTRAL LIBRARY FILM THEATRE
Join us for the world premier of the award-winning true crime podcast In Her Defence: Breach of Trust, with a live preview of the new season, behind-the-scenes stories, and exclusive interviews with journalists Jana G. Pruden and Kerry Benjoe about the Regina case that became international news.
It was a single word that led Kerry Benjoe to investigate the true identity of a man she’d been seeing for nearly five years. In doing so, she exposed a shocking web of betrayal and predation, perpetrated by a sergeant within the Regina Police Service and affecting hundreds of vulnerable women.
Despite her fear, Kerry risked it all to hold the veteran police officer accountable and protect other women. But would the system punish one of its own?
In the third season of the highly acclaimed true crime podcast In Her Defence, reporter Jana G. Pruden explores the case of Robert Semenchuck, and the broader issue of police using their vast power and resources to prey on women, many of whom have already been victims of domestic abuse or sexual violence.
Based on more than 50 hours of exclusive interviews with dozens of women, police officers, lawyers and experts, In Her Defence: Breach of Trust reveals serious gaps in the way law enforcement agencies in Canada are policing themselves, and the serious harm women are suffering as a result.
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 12, 10 am-4 pm: QU’APPELLE VALLEY ASSOCIATION PUBLIC GATHERING, ST. ANDREW'S UNITED CHURCH HALL IN FORT QU'APPELLE

There will also be a panel of speakers dealing with many topics including concentration of ownership of agricultural land, farmers' concerns regarding lack of drainage regulations, Indigenous land rights, data centres, the need to address the growing dependence on fossil fuels for our electrical grid, youth climate action, and more. All are welcome.
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 15, 10 am: BUDGET 2026 AND THE NATIONAL HOUSING STRATEGY
Get an inside look at Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness’s advocacy efforts and the policy changes it’s working to advance, heading into Budget 2026 and the renewal of the National Housing Strategy.
