Nominated for Best Documentary (Feature) Osc ar.\n\nMasterfully addressing the American racial divide\, past and presen t\, director Raoul Peck’s six-years-in-the-making documentary\, **I Am N ot Your Negro**\, is a galvanizing\, ominous film\, thrumming with a sense of history repeating itself. It's inspired by 30 pages from James Baldwin ’s unfinished final book\, *Remember This House*. Before his 1987 death\ , Baldwin intended to tell the story of being black in America through the lives—and deaths—of three of his friends: activist Medgar Evers\, Mal colm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Peck does a magnificent job of honoring Baldwin’s concept\, counterposing images from the civil rights movement –era with bruising clips from today’s protests and police beatings. - Time Out\n\nPresented in partnership with Rainbow Coalition of Waterloo an d Spectrum Waterloo\n\n LOCATION:The Princess Original Cinema\, 6 Princess St W\, Waterloo\, ON N2J 2X2\, Canada CATEGORIES:Spectrum > Off-site Events CLASS:PUBLIC TRANSP:OPAQUE SEQUENCE:0 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260202T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260202T210000 CREATED:20260121T181826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260121T183245Z URL;VALUE=URI:https://teamup.com/ks886v2s5u7w16ssdw/events/2028682061 X-TEAMUP-WHERE:The Princess Original Cinema\, 6 Princess St W\, Waterloo\, ON N2J 2X2\, Canada END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:TU2028700993 DTSTAMP:20260729T165629Z SUMMARY:SPECTRUM Prime Hybrid (for ages 50+) DESCRIPTION:**Spectrum Prime is a discussion group for 2SLGBTQIA+ adults ag ed 50+.**\n\nThe first and third Wednesdays of the month.

You don’t have to know what that means to join us for our June h ike at the Claude Dubrick Trailway along the Walter Bean Grand River Trail in Waterloo. This year’s weather has kept us on our toes\, and fittingl y\, this trail has some sections that will do the same –some parts of th e trail have rougher terrain\, like logs to step over– so wear your good stompin’ shoes (ideally\, sturdy shoes with some good grip/tread) and m aybe leave the beach sandals for another day. Expect high humidity\, and m aybe some warm rain –the worms should be happy with this\, and we’ll b e happy to see them!\n\nWe are keeping this hike short so that we can spen d some time having a small post-hike picnic to celebrate the beginning of Pride Month. Bring your favourite snack or treat for yourself and join us\ , won't you? 🥰\n\nWe hope to see you there\, rain or shine. Happy June! \n\n**Date:**Sunday\, June 7th\, 2026\n\n**Time:**11:00 AM to ~12:30 PM\n\ n**Trail Name:** Claude Dubrick Trailway at Kaufman Flats\n\n**Meeting Poi nt:**755 University Ave E\, Waterloo\, ON N2K 3V2\n\n**Distance:**~1.5 km\ n\n**Difficulty**: Easy\\*\\*\n\n\\*\\*This trail is mostly flat\, but it is unpaved\, and may have some sections that are not maintained and/or hav e rougher terrain.

Unfortunately\, th is means the trail is not wheelchair accessible and some parts of it may b e challenging or unsafe for folks with mobility disorders/difficulties. Th e Big Queer Hike is hosted at different locations each month –accessibil ity of each trail/location differs\, and we include a rotation of trail ty pes to ensure fully paved trails are included in this mix. Please contact Spectrum if you have specific accessibility needs for a given hike(s)\, or if you need additional information in determining if a trail will be acce ssible for you. Queer bodies of all accessibility needs deserve to spend t ime in nature with fellow members of the queer community!\n\nOn this trail \, we may have to high-step over logs or other debris on the trail\, or it may be slippery in some spots due to mud. Please wear appropriate footwea r and consider the difficulty level of the trail when deciding to join thi s month’s hike. Public parking is available\, but the lot is small. If y ou cannot find a parking spot\, street parking is available on Woolwich Pl ace.
