The Banff Mountain Film Festival is one not to miss. I've been involved in it since its inception over 10 years ago and it just gets better every year.

Received a phone call from my sister (who happens to be moving into Phoenixville on Saturday) who said there is a sign in front of the new 101 Bridge Restaurant saying that it will be opening tomorrow(6/25).
