Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/R816o6t0IkU

This book can be used as a source of guidance, providing gentle wisdom that inspires and empowers.

Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/eTe25WKQW9E

Set in Torduvalle, Saskatchewan, 1946, this story explores the repercussions of a woman’s decision to hide her Métis identity while living in a small, predominantly white prairie town.
This novel asks us what we will do for our community, for our families, for our friends, even at our own expense. It examines the harrowing effects of choosing to live as someone else, and the radiant peace that comes from finally living one’s truth.

Tara Gereaux is the author of ‘Saltus’, which was shortlisted for the 2022 ReLit Novel Award and three Saskatchewan Book Awards; and ‘Size of a Fist’, a teen novella, which was shortlisted for two Saskatchewan Book Awards.

A catastrophe on a mountain in Transylvania sends cyanide through rivers and streams, destroying an ecosystem and killing hundreds. As the impact of the mining breach stretches beyond the country’s borders it ensnares Farrar and Clio who begin to understand that their business interests are intertwined with enterprises more sinister than they’d realized.

Margaret Sweatman is a novelist, playwright, poet, and performer. Her work has won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Sunburst Award for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic, the Margaret Laurence Book Award, the Carol Shields Winnipeg Award, and the McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award.

Also available as a YouTube stream: https://youtube.com/live/KkT2PojPgt0

Tracey Lindberg and artist George Littlechild consider a teaching from an Elder that in their culture love, as constructed in Western society, does not exist. Through fiction and select paintings, they respond, inspiring readers to recall responsibilities to relations, to think about the obligation that is love, and to imagine what it means to have no word for love.

Tracey Lindberg is a citizen of As’in’i’wa’chi Ni’yaw Nation Rocky Mountain Cree from the Kelly Lake Cree Nation community. She is an award-winning academic writer and a professor of law. She is the author of ‘Birdie’, which was shortlisted for CBC’s Canada Reads, the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, and the Georges Bugnet Award for Fiction and longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award.

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.

Each ticket package includes admission for ONE person and a single copy of the book.

McNally Robinson Booksellers and Penguin Random House Canada invite you to escape to the lake with Carley Fortune as she visits Winnipeg for the first time to discuss her new book, One Golden Summer with her best friend, Meredith Marino.

Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life.
Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. When Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it.

Carley Fortune is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After, Meet Me at the Lake, and This Summer Will Be Different. She is an award-winning Canadian journalist who’s worked as an editor for Refinery29, The Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, and Toronto Life. Meredith Marino is the inspiration behind Lucy and Bridget in This Summer Will Be Different.

Moonlight Express Vaudeville Revue by Tim Osmond, banjo picker
The Crescent Arts Centre Vaudeville Camp has created another original vaudeville production called "The Moonlight Express" and centres around the history of the train that used to take Winnipeggers to Winnipeg Beach where they could ride the world's biggest wooden roller coaster, the carousel and other rides along the boardwalk.
The parents would inevitably end up in the huge Dance Hall that featured all the finest dance music from the jazz age with the finest Winnipeg musicians.
The ride to and from the beach was an adventure in itself and it is rumoured that all sorts of shenanigans happened on the train - especially on the return trip - which is at night - in the dark - after a night of wild dancing.

I've done comedy, singing & dancing so it was only a matter of time before I tried vaudeville! I love performing. This show gives me a chance to do a bit of each. Well, I've got to go... I hear the Moonlight Express blowing its horn & I don't want to miss my train, after a long work week! I hope that there will be some romance in the air this weekend.
I paid my fare, I don't care if I'm ever comin' back! Toodle-oo & see you soon! ~ Renee Billauer

Apr 2, 7 pm
Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art, 460 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0E8

Plug In ICA is delighted to announce an upcoming performance and book launch. Please join us in our bookstore for a performance by Chipo Chipaziwa. Following the performance we will be celebrating the prairie launch of Chipaziwa’s first artist book.
In 'My Mother My Home', Chipaziwa explores utilizing written language and alternative representational forms of art to document her previous performances.
Chipaziwa sets out to use the book format as a means of archiving her performances with/in the absence of her physical body. An experiment in memory, which weaves her past and present relations — that is, as an example of Black ancestrally and Black futurity — in the form of collaboration, in which she is the connecting element.
In 'Slipping Into Slipping Away', Chipaziwa continues her investigation by delving into the intersections of memory, legibility, archives, liminal encounters, and psychoanalysis.

Monster
Dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda    2023, 125 min    Japanese with English subtitles

When her young son Minato starts to behave strangely, his mother feels that there is something wrong. Discovering that a teacher is responsible, she storms into the school demanding to know what’s going on. But as the story unfolds through the eyes of mother, teacher and child, the truth gradually emerges.
“Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest, scored by the late Ryuichi Sakamoto, is a dense, shape-shifting drama that grows more scattered as it progresses.” – Little White Lies

Meule is made of modular synths, a guitar, two drums by three musicians crossed at the bend of other Touraine bands (Thé Vanille, C4DILL4C, Lehmanns Brothers). Their music is carried by repetitive and saturated grooves a la CAN, sequencers and electronic atmospheres reminiscent of Tangerine Dream and the German kraut softs bands of the 70s.

Rayannah is a Franco-Manitoban artist, producer, beat-maker and artistic director based in Winnipeg. She unveiled her first full length studio album Nos repaires (Our Haunts) in March of 2019. She went on to be named “Francophone Artist of the Year” and “Producer of the Year” at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2019. She has toured across Canada, Europe and Latin-America and opened for international acts including Esperanza Spalding and Cœur de Pirate.
As a producer, Rayannah has worked on a variety of projects including studio albums and sound design for theatre and film. In 2021 she stepped into the role of artistic director with her immersive multi-disciplinary project Afterglow which saw artists from different disciplines collaborate on an innovative virtual performance. She went on to found and spearhead HYPERART - a Winnipeg-based multidisciplinary festival featuring collaborative performances and installations.

Learn about the essential features of Procreate, the digital drawing app (for iPad only) that has become indispensable for many since its launch in 2011. This workshop will take you through the basics of this versatile and user-friendly drawing tool: how to create a canvas; all about brushes (line weight, opacity, texture, customization); blending; layering; undos and redos; adding text; making adjustments; sharing your work... and much more!
The afternoon will consist of a series of live demonstrations followed by some hands-on activities. Please bring along an iPad and stylus pen, with Procreate installed and ready to use.

Cato Cormier is a self-taught illustrator and cartoonist. They draw strange humanoids, regular folks and the bits and bobs that make up their worlds. Much of their work explores the joy and absurdity of having a body. It is at times surreal, often cheeky and always earnest.

Cribbage returns to the Heather Curling Club!
My name is Lyndon, I've lived in Winnipeg for the past 20 years. I've been playing cribbage off and on probably since I was 10. I joined a cribbage group in early 2019, really enjoyed play with the group. It was on Wilton. However, my work schedule changed since that year and late 2021 and early 2022, my dream was to host my own cribbage nights.
So, I started buying cribbage boards and cards and now have a great stock for large groups. We are still a small group, but I could host up to 80 players.
Winnipeg Free Press had a story on the cribbage nights in the November 10th paper. The online version is updated with photos of myself.

We play in an area of the club’s fully licensed restaurant. They have some good selections on their menu. Feel free to come before and have a bite to eat. You can bring your own water.

We play in partners, where winners move to the next table and switch with one that didn’t win. You don’t need to bring a partner either, come solo and you'll join a table. This is just a fun night to meet people.
