<p>While Ed and I were out on a secret cinema mission, it made me think about a local mystery. For as long as I've been going to the Gibsons Cinema, I've heard two completely contradictory things about the building: that it was absolutely designed by <a href="https://www.arthurerickson.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Arthur Erickson</a>, one of Canada's greatest architects — and that it absolutely wasn't. </p><p>In this episode, I ring up Geoffrey Erickson and find out the truth. Geoffrey is a designer with <a href="https://www.studioerickson.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Studio Erickson</a>, and he’s Arthur’s nephew.</p><p>Thanks to Allie and the team at the <a href="https://www.sunshinecoastmuseum.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives</a> for their excellent database and even more excellent help.</p><p>Thanks to Max Henry for the podcast’s original music.</p><p>Find and follow our Instagram account for the soon-to-be-ours Gibsons Cinema <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gibsons_cinema" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a>.</p><p>Find Ed’s fishing charter at <a href="https://www.anglermanagement.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Angler Management</a>.</p><p>Find the show at <a href="https://secretsunshine.ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">secretsunshine.ca</a></p><p>Secret Sunshine is produced by Dominic Girard at <a href="https://www.handover.fm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Handover Media</a>.</p>
