A unique & easy weekday activity returns this week in Oakville: Sunset Kino is back at Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens, kicking off this Thursday, June 25 and running every Thursday evening through July 16. It's Canada's only outdoor avant-garde film festival, screening experimental work you won't catch at the theatre.

This year's program focuses on Ali Cherri, an artist whose films dig into what happens after catastrophe. The opening nights feature his award-winning work, including The Watchman about a solitary soldier keeping watch between Greek and Turkish Cyprus. Later weeks explore how people and places rebuild after war, occupation, and trauma.

Screenings start at sunset in the gardens, just bring a blanket and chair. If weather turns, everything moves indoors to the Studio next door.

Three local sports organizations gathered at River Oaks Community Centre last Monday to honour Toronto Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto, an Oakville resident killed in the line of duty on June 11.

Pinizzotto was a former Oakville Blades player, coached with the Oakville Rangers for four years, worked with the Burlington Eagles hockey program, and was a devoted supporter of the Oakville A's baseball team. According to A's coach Jeff Deveaux, Pinizzotto would sit in his beach chair with a bag of sunflower seeds, recording player stats at every game.

The Oakville Rangers, Burlington Eagles, and Oakville A's came together to remember his impact on young athletes across all three programs, with families traveling from near and far to attend.

Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park hosted Oakville's newest road race Sunday morning, with 840 runners taking part in the sold-out inaugural Mercedes-Benz Oakville Bronte Harbour Classic 5K.

The Bronte Runners Club organized the event, with all proceeds going to the Oakville Dad's Community Fund in honour of Father's Day. The fund helps local families access food, shelter, and education support.

Runners tackled two distances: a 1K for kids 12 and under through Bronte Park, and a 5K route from the waterfront to Coronation Park and back. All finishers earned medals.

Families stuck around for a free Father's Day festival with live music, a beer garden, and more than 50 vendors from across the GTA.
