The Life and work of David Wynyard Bellhouse
Trained as an architect in Bruges, Belgium and London, England, David Wynyard Bellhouse (1861 – 1952) immigrated to Manitoba in 1883 where he initially farmed near Cypress River. He moved to Winnipeg in 1896 where he worked in a few jobs until he was able to set up his practice as an architect.
I will describe his building background in England and his own work in the building industry in Manitoba, illustrated with several examples that are mostly standing today. In Winnipeg, Bellhouse designed factories and warehouses in and near the Exchange District, apartment buildings, churches, and houses, mainly for Winnipeg’s wealthy living in Armstrong’s Point and Crescentwood.
Speaker: David R. Bellhouse is the author of three academic books on the history of probability and statistics and of five self-published books on the history of his family.

The Dust Rhinos stand as a spirited testament to the infectious allure of Celtic folk rock. This quintet has been carving its sonic path for an impressive three decades and is proudly unveiling their tenth studio album, “Ring the Bell.”
Blair McEvoy, the driving force behind the band, weaves a musical spell with his powerful vocals and percussive guitar playing and masterful story telling. Dan Cannon, the rhythmic anchor on bass, provides the heartbeat. The steady Darren Wittmann on drums, brings a dynamic flair. Ryan Spraklin, a master of mandolin, injects a rich tapestry of strings into the ensemble, and Ivanka Watkin, a spellbinding fiddler, contribute a melodic enchantment.

Meet in the Manitoba Museum’s new Festival Hall for a talk followed by a Q&A and a guided tour. Hosted by Seema Hollenberg, Director of Research, Collections and Exhibitions, Manitoba Museum.

Talk & Tour with curator, Celia Rabinovitch, PhD, MFA - "The Lost Expressionist – Nick Yudell, A Photographer Discovered". This exhibition reveals a vibrant world in Manitoba from the Jazz Age through the Great Depression to the rise of World War II. Through dramatic portraits, experimental shots, and images of play, place, and self, The Lost Expressionist captures the feeling of life in Manitoba’s urban, rural, and Jewish communities.
The exhibition offers a prism of one young man’s life, Nick Yudell, who enlisted in 1940 and became a Canadian World War II hero - an RAF pilot who perished in 1943 during the North African campaign.

Light refreshments will be available.

Bring Your Own Mic' Online Concert Series, featuring Leonard Sumner

The West End Cultural Centre announces a new concert series called ‘Bring Your Own Mic’. This ticketed, livestream concert series will present the best music from Manitoba's WECC stage for our audiences to watch online through an accessible $2 paywall and streamed on Vimeo. The funds will go to artists. Each concert will be produced by the the West End’s skilled technicians.

Safety is one of our main priorities. We are ensuring performers arrive to a clean and already set up stage (and yes, we are asking them to bring their own microphones). 

Anishinaabe MC/Singer/Songwriter Leonard Sumner's sound is evidence of his ability to occupy landscapes of multiple musical genres: Hip-Hop, Spoken Word, Country, and Rhythm and Blues. In this era of unsettling history and healing wounds of the past, Sumner's music is an expression of medicine that walks the line between fortitude and fragility.

Our Pride Flag raising will take place at City Hall on a date to be determined.

Please be assured that Pride Winnipeg will be constantly following announcements made by Health Canada and the guidelines that are enforced by the City of Winnipeg, and the Provincial and Federal Governments.

If the pandemic of COVID-19 continues, Pride Winnipeg will have no other choice than to cancel. Cancellation would be our final measure and we wish to assure our community and visitors that their health and safety is our top priority.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we move forward, together.
