Justin van Damme is a song-writer, performer, and garbage photographer. His work is sparse yet lively, full of raw character and unadorned. His vocals are accompanied by a distinctly forceful and thumpy-brutalist guitar-style that straddles rock, blues, and folk.
His solo DIY sound is a meditation on self-reliance and a response to the question of how one artist can sound big without loops or samples. Justin van Damme as Himself is comprised of single-take sessions and is inspired by the honesty and intensity of pre-war blues recordings.
He is an artist in residence at the West End Cultural centre for the 2018/19 season.
With Snarky Remarkable & Cantor Dust

It started with a story from Keri Latimer’s family history. A tale of the great-grandmother she knew as tiny and soft-spoken, a gentle soul who only spoke Japanese. Who would have guessed that, in her youth, that same little old lady stabbed a man with a pair of barbershop shears?
Now all of those stories come together on Citizen Alien, the new album from Winnipeg folk duo Leaf Rapids. The project is a labour of love for Keri and her husband, Devin Latimer.
Each of the 10 songs spins out a thread, binding history and identity to time and place.
Openers: Madeleine Roger and Knob & Tube

The Children’s Hospital Book Market, established in 1961, is the longest-running fundraiser in support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. The concept is simple. Members of the community drop off used books at our various outlets, and volunteers sort, mark, pack and price books that are then sold at two annual sales, in April and September. The Book Market has raised over $8 million in support of child health care in Manitoba!
Books can be dropped off at any Winnipeg Fire Hall or Dufresne Furniture store. Additional information can be found at https://goodbear.ca/events/childrens-hospital-book-market/ or by calling the Book Market info line at (204) 783-1125.

Walks in Winnipeg
April 27, 11 AM – 1 PM
Urban Ecology Walking Tours: WATER ~ Return of the Floodwaters
Hosted by Learning from the Land, in the City
Visit www.urbanecologywinnipeg.ca for more information, a complete list of confirmed speakers, and to book a spot. Tickets are FREE but space is limited.
This is the first in a series of four seasonal walking tours exploring the ecology of Winnipeg’s urban landscape.
Join us as we gather on the flooded banks of the Red River to talk with local experts about our relationship with water in the city.
The story of the annual cycle of flooding on the Red and Assiniboine Rivers goes back thousands of years. It is a fitting place to begin our series exploring the connection between systems in nature and cities. Topics include:
- The traditional cultural and spiritual significance of water for Indigenous peoples
- The geological history of the Red River valley, the glaciers' retreat and the function of watersheds
- The annual cycle of flooding and its importance for the wildlife, plants and ecosystems
- Colonization and the ways that urban development has changed the rivers
- The infrastructure of water access and control, Winnipeg's Aqueduct and its devastating impacts on the Shoal Lake 40 First Nation community
- The downstream impacts of storm water runoff and sewage spills into the Red River
- Green infrastructure solutions that can help manage water resources in resilient ways
This project is gratefully supported by the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, HTFC Planning + Design, and Green Action.
