The Good Will & UMFM are proud to present Shad w/ guests
If you boil down Shad’s trajectory as a hip-hop artist up to this point, it all comes down to love. He has used his platform as a rapper, a musician, and a writer, to search for and highlight all the love this hard world has to offer. 

Shad’s family settled in London, Ontario after fleeing the Rwandan genocide. He came up like a lot of first generation Canadian kids, with this cultural duality and the sense that this good country had some baggage that he’d have to unpack some day.

He has released five solo albums: 2005’s When This Is Over; 2007’s The Old Prince; 2010’s TSOL; 2013’s Flying Colours; and 2018’s A Short Story About A War. The middle three were nominated for Canada’s Polaris Music Prize and TSOL won the 2011 Rap Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards. He explored late 80's/early 90's chart-topping R&B vibes, on 2016’s Adult Contempt, as Your Boy Tony Braxton. 

In the past five years, Shad has emerged as a vital broadcaster: after departing his hosting gig on CBC Radio’s q, he went on to host the Hip-Hop Evolution docu-series, whose 2016 season was released by HBO Canada and earned both a prestigious Peabody Award and an International Emmy Award.

The Good Will Social Club & UMFM are proud to present 
Daniel Romano's "Finally Free" Tour w/ Dead Soft

“Finally Free” marks Daniel Romano’s eighth long playing album in the last eight years. He has had a prolific output of incredibly entrancing, poignant and creative records in this span of time. His last record, “Modern pressure” received outstandingly high acclaim and praise from every notable publication out there.

Dead Soft is a four piece rock n roll band from Vancouver, BC comprised of members Nathaniel Epp, Keeley Rochon, Kyle Schick, and Alex Smith. After forming in 2011, they have released a string of EPs and singles leading up to their debut self-titled album. Blending hefty portions of heavy, dirge-like punk with an upbeat pop flourish, Dead Soft has been known to evoke an aesthetic of doom and sweetness in equal measure.

Free Admission

February 15, 7 PM – 10 PM - Please join us for the opening reception of 
“Arcane”, an Art Exhibition by Tamara Roshka, featuring paintings, photography and illustration available for purchase.

Arcane was intended to be a personal journey of experimentation and abstraction. And yet, I have found that it developed into a journey of experimentation with colours and imagery. Refined ink lines in my botanicals are a nod at my original passion for ink illustration. Bold colours and enigmatic choices in my new landscapes and skyscapes have helped me break out of colour palette I was all too comfortable in. These new paintings bring a sense of curiosity and intrigue. My new Magic Rabbit series is an interpretation of dreams and nightmares that plagued me as a child – I try to capture the beautiful terror of these dreams through this collection on canvas board through gouache paint primarily, with accents in various mixed media. -Tamara

Universal Shamanism Workshop - Level 1 
Come explore the magical world of Shamanism from a cross cultural universal perspective with Kristel Kernaghan. The word Shaman originated in Siberia, and is a Tungus word, meaning “the one who sees in the dark”. The Shamanic practitioner learns to enter an altered state of consciousness to access other dimensions and realities to acquire knowledge, power, and healing. The shamanic practitioners also learn to work with power animals and spirit helpers and teachers to aid them on this journey. Shamanism is the oldest form of spirituality with traces going back 50,000 years. 

Prerequisite: None. Students are encouraged to bring a drum and/or rattle.
Investment: $194.25 (includes GST)

Feb 22 - Feb 24 
 
Basic ThetaHealing Certification Workshop 
Hosted by Kristel Kernaghan
We are essentially organic computers riddled with programs and belief systems. Your subconscious mind is 88-90% of what is running your thoughts and actions, your conscious mind is only 10-12%. 

ThetaHealing® is a powerful healing technique that reprograms the unconscious mind and your DNA - identifying and unblocking belief systems that are blocking your path to wellness and replaces them with positive beliefs. 

The heart of this class is the practice of techniques that allow you to change life patterns held in place by core, genetic, historic and soul beliefs, either self-inflicted or externally imposed. The student will learn to identify his/her own beliefs as well as to practice pulling them for others in the class. Issues of safety are emphasized, especially when making genetic changes in the body.

Prerequisite: None, just a belief in a higher power.
$582.75 (includes GST). Includes: ThetaHealing® Book and Manual

Register for the Basic & Advanced and save $84.  
Basic & Advanced ThetaHealers® can retake at reduced fee of $262.50 (includes GST)

MS Bike is the largest fundraising cycling series in North America! Every year since 1989 cyclists of all ages and fitness levels across Canada get together to end Canada’s disease: multiple sclerosis. Your fundraising will help improve the quality of life of Canadians affected by MS today, and those who may receive a diagnosis tomorrow. 

We will head south on Highway 9, stopping in at the Gimli Recreation Centre for lunch before heading north on Highway 8. The homestretch from Camp Morton to the Gimli Recreation Centre is along Highway 222 and then Centennial Road for the finish line, tailgate and dinner!

Cyclists looking for an added challenge will be able to ride our Challenge Leg: ride the northern portion of the route a second time, adding an additional 22km to the ride. Sunday morning starts at 9am and will feature the southern portion of our route a second time; landing back in Gimli for the final finish.

Forth, 171 McDermot Ave, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3B 0S1
Free Admission /  Beer and unlimited popcorn for $5.

In Jacques Tati’s Traffic, the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, kitted out as always with tan raincoat, beaten brown hat, and umbrella, takes to Paris’s highways and byways. In this, his final outing, Hulot is employed as an auto company’s director of design, and accompanies his new product (a “camping car” outfitted with absurd gadgetry) to an auto show in Amsterdam. Naturally, the road there is paved with modern-age mishaps. This late-career delight is a masterful demonstration of the comic genius’s expert timing and sidesplitting knack for visual gags, and a bemused last look at technology run amok.
The film is screened by the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation, in partnership with Forth.
