Quinn, the family caretaker, sacrifices his own ambitions to help the others.  

Quinn is ready to end the secrecy surrounding his family’s mental health.  But can he convince his family to join him?

Written and directed by executive producer, Jeff Newman, with Jocelyn Mitchell producer. Produced by Nüman Films, a Gemini Award winning company that produces  documentary and lifestyle programming.

CraftED :: Janet Morton

CraftED-thinking through craft, a series of artist talks interested in bringing the larger context of contemporary craft to Winnipeg.

MCC, in partnership with MAWA, is excited to bring Janet Morton to Winnipeg.

Since 1992 Morton has used knitting and sewing symbolically in her work as blatant low-tech metaphors. By using stereotypically domestic techniques and recycled materials, Morton explores issues of consumption and how “value” is assigned to objects and time investment.

Challenge Austerity, Build Solidarity!

Are you worried about what a win for Brian Pallister's PCs will mean for people in Manitoba? Critical of the NDP government's record in office too?

This community forum will be an opportunity to get involved in a campaign to prevent a PC (or Liberal) win that's independent of the NDP.  

After hearing from speakers we'll form action teams on issues like poverty, resources and the environment, workers' rights and unions, and prisons and policing. 

Come and get involved!

Free! Snacks provided. 

Child-minding will be provided with advance notice. 

Please email us by Jan. 23 to register for child-minding
