At 4pm, we have another virtual visitor - Vancouver based actor Reg Rozee will join Y-CON for a meet & greet and panel on his acting career and the film industry. Join us back in the panel room at 9pm for a selection of indie films, with a couple of them featuring Reg's work!

Then on Sunday at noon we welcome Chris Styles, an active UFO researcher who investigates select classic and current UFO incidents that have occurred in Atlantic Canada.
