Celebrate Canadian film and filmmakers.
Celebrate CanFilmDay with a screening of the action-filled comedy Breakaway. Rajveer Singh (Vinay Virmani) is struggling to balance the wishes of his traditional Sikh family and his own true passion for hockey. Raj and his friends play only for fun, held back by the prejudice and mockery of other teams. Enter Coach Dan Winters (Rob Lowe) and soon the Speedy Singhs are competing in a real tournament, while Raj is falling in love with the coach’s beautiful sister, Melissa (Camilla Belle).
National Canadian Film Day (CanFilmDay) is a coast-to-coast-to-coast salute to Canadian cinema. Launched in 2014, CanFilmDay brings together hundreds of thousands of Canadians, to celebrate our stories and the incredible achievements of our filmmakers.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
