International Human Rights Day December 10, 5:00 pm until 6:00 pm
Manitoba Legislative Building, 450 Broadway
We are accepting sign-ons until December 1. Please email commitments
The harsh lessons of history have taught us that a society bent on legislating public dress code is one which creates intolerance and hate.
The Quebec Provincial Government has proposed legislation that will do precisely that: tell Canadians what they can and cannot wear in the name of uniformity.
Let us declare that we Canadians value human rights and diversity in accordance with religious and cultural traditions.
And here in Manitoba…
Thea's Diner, located at 133 Main Street in Morris, has been receiving racist threats.
Thea serves Canadian, Caribbean and American, Vegan and vegetarian menus.
Breakfast - lunch - dinner - coffee - drinks
Reservations - take out - delivery - catering - waiter service
They have received excellent comments on their food and service.
Apparently, for some in Morris, that isn't enough.

Clothe the City
Manitoba Legislative Building, 450 Broadway
The Quebec Provincial Government has proposed legislation that will do precisely that: tell Canadians what they can and cannot wear in the name of uniformity.
Bill 60 would impact those receiving services.
Women wearing a niqab requiring medical treatment could be denied healthcare.
Children in day care could be denied meals according to their religious beliefs.
The impact of the proposed Charter of Values quite clearly has ramifications on inalienable rights of Canadians that are neither understood, nor acceptable to the majority of Quebecers or Canadians.

Clothe the City
Dec. 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m
Lighthouse Mission, 669 Main St.
Donations can be dropped off directly on Dec. 8.
To schedule a clothing pick-up or drop-off, call 204-899-8584.
The Clothe the City committee is looking for gently-used winter clothing and also blankets. Socks and underwear must be new. All donations should be washed and, preferably, labelled.
If people don’t have clothing to donate, they can always consider donating a gift certificate or cash so we can use those towards purchasing new underwear and socks, or they can donate food as well, Ashley Wood said, noting that there will be a free hot meal at the event. It’s great because people share a lot. They come and take what they need, but they often leave behind things they don’t need.

LITE (Local Investment Toward Employment) began in 1994 when it was noticed Neechi Foods Co-op lost business during the holidays. As hampers were distributed, sales dropped. LITE buys products from inner-city businesses, and then gives those products to Winnipeg hamper programs, thus doubling the program’s impact.
LITE purchases products from Neechi, the Spence Neighbourhood Association’s Youth Crew, the Native Women’s Transition Centre and the Food Connections Project at Wolseley Family Place. Executive director Anne Lindsey said of the latter two: It’s mainly women who are getting trained on kitchen protocol and food handling… they provide important skills, which they can then add to their resume to help them find work.
