101-177 Lombard Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0W5

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.

Join us for a walking tour exploring several of downtown Winnipeg's Tyndall stone buildings.

Learn about Tyndall stone's geology, how to spot and identify fossils, and about the stone's use and relationship to people in the region over the last 3000 years. The fully accessible tour will be led by author Abigail Auld. Registration:

It’s springtime in rural Manitoba. The snow has finally left the exotic animal farm where an ostrich finds and swallows a shiny object. Cue veterinarian and amateur sleuth Dr. Peter Bannerman, who surgically removes the object, which looks like an ancient Viking artifact. Soon after, people are horrified by a series of animal mutilations. This sets Peter, and his talented sniffer dog, Pippin, on the hunt for answers.

Live in the Atrium of McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Park. Streamed on YouTube & available for viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eeOdBaTIUc

When twelve-year-old Sam is struck by a bolt of lightning, he suddenly sees everything in pixels. His life is further upended by Flum, a non-binary being from a parallel world, a missing neighbour, and astonishing powers that may not last long. Science and magic collide as Sam races to solve a mystery and help Flum return home. But what happens when solving one mystery sparks another?

Anita Daher is an author and actor who has been entrenched in the book publishing industry since 1995 and has sixteen books published. Anita is the former Chair of the Writers’ Union of Canada.

This meditation on the impact of human and ecological trauma explores the cost of survival for three generations of women. Ens follows connections between the Russian Mennonite diaspora and the disrupted migratory patterns of grassland birds. Drawing on family history, Flyway migrates along pathways of geography and the heart to grapple with complexities of home.

Sarah Ens’ debut collection of poetry, The World Is Mostly Sky was shortlisted for the 2021 McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award.

Sweatman’s novel is both a coming-of-age story and an allegory about Canada-US relations. Set in 1971 during the Vietnam War, Her portrait of a brilliant gunsmith and his eighteen-year-old daughter tells an engrossing story of ruthless ambition, and one young woman’s journey toward independence.

Margaret Sweatman is a playwright and the author of six novels. Her novels have won the Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award, the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction, the McNally Robinson Book of the Year, and the Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic.
