Annual General Meeting - PAL Winnipeg, the Performing Arts Lodge of Winnipeg
Winnipeggers love their reputation as a centre for artistic expression and excellence. There is a large creative community that feeds this dynamism: actors, technicians, dancers, writers, musicians, and filmmakers. Yet, the vast majority of those artists won’t have the means by which to afford housing as they age.
PAL Winnipeg is a not for profit, registered charitable organization dedicated to providing affordable housing and support services for older members in the performing and allied professions. PAL considers these cultural pioneers a priority for PAL residency since the erratic employment and overall low income endemic within the performing arts industry has prevented many from establishing sufficient retirement funds. PAL Winnipeg is working to provide senior members of the performing arts community with a safe and secure home in an affordable and supportive environment.

Architecture+Film series - Citizen Jane: Battle for the City
Director: Matt Tyrnauer
2016, USA, 92 min
The story about our global urban future, in which nearly three-fourths of the world’s population will live in cities by the end of this century. It’s also a story about America’s recent urban past, in which bureaucratic, “top down” approaches to building cities have dramatically clashed with grassroots, “bottom up” approaches. The film brings us back mid-century, on the eve of the battles for the heart and soul of American cities, about to be routed by cataclysmically destructive Urban Renewal and highway projects.
The film details the revolutionary thinking of Jane Jacobs, and the origins of her magisterial 1961 treatise The Death and Life of Great American Cities, in which she single-handedly undercuts her era’s orthodox model of city planning, exemplified by the massive Urban Renewal projects of New York’s “Master Builder” Robert Moses.
Citizen Jane offers a playbook, courtesy of Jane Jacobs, for organizing communities and speaking the truth to entrenched and seemingly insurmountable powers.
