HACE™ Mini Series; an Evening in Conversation with Actor, Yannick Bisson

By Amena Siddiqui.


A lively and entertaining atmosphere flourished in the Brampton Golf Club this past Thursday, March 22nd, 2012.

Organized and hosted by the Brampton Arts Council, HACE™ Mini Series: an Evening in Conversation with Actor, Yannick Bisson filled up quickly and offered an enjoyable, up-close and intimate evening full of laughter, insight and Q & As.

Yannick, a Montreal-born and Toronto-raised film and television actor is well known for his roles in Murdoch Mysteries; Sue Thomas: F.B. Eye; Flashpoint; High Tide; Soul Food and many others joined us with his beautiful wife, Chantal Craig, who energetically shared with us and brought the conversation to the next level.

Yannick informed everyone about his acting career and experience. He emphasized that it is important to do what you love and also have a back-up plan which he ironically did not but always enjoyed building homes. He said, “one of the things I like to do is build things. I know how to build a home and a lot of the times I had to… income wasn’t always there…as an actor income always comes and goes”.

He humorously continued, “I had absolutely no plan. I can’t lie- no back-up plan but I knew it is important to do what I love. Ever since I was a kid I imagined myself doing a lot. So I knew I wanted to … wind surf all day, jump off cliffs and kiss the beautiful woman at the end of the day. I knew I wanted to be rich… doesn’t everybody? I knew I wanted to feel something when I do something…”

After the conversation, everyone inevitably approached the highlight of the event itself – one-on-one questions, small talk, autographs and took pictures with Yannick and Shantelle.

The BAC expresses their gratitude towards Yannick and Shantelle for a successful and relaxing event.

Thank you all for attending!

HACE™ Mini Series will continue to grow and we hope to see you all next time.
