AURORA MUSEUM & ARCHIVES Enjoy a Movie Night and Explore Aurora’s Fascinating History! Over the past year, the Aurora Museum & Archives has produced three short films that take the audience on a journey throughout various chapters of Aurora’s history. Pop some popcorn, and enjoy one, two or all three of these incredible films by visiting www.auroramuseum.ca
The Temple of Fame
This film was created using footage from the theatrical production of the performance that took place in Aurora on May 11 to 13, 2018. The Temple of Fame was a popular play that was performed in Aurora in 1900 and 1918. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1918 performance, the Temple of Fame was re-staged in 2018 and performed by a talented group of local actors and musicians.
Swift and Bold: The Queen’s York Rangers
This important chapter of Aurora’s ongoing story has been brought to life in a short documentary that takes the audience on a journey from the Regiment’s 18th Century foundation through to modern times.
Aurora Canada’s Birthday Town
