November 22, 12 PM
Manitoba Legislative Building

Rally for Subsidized Housing by Right to Housing Coalition

Lack of subsidized housing is a crisis in Manitoba. There are approximately 4,600 households on the wait list for a Manitoba Housing unit. Waiting on the list can last years. With nowhere else to go, many people end up staying with friends or family, in shelters, or outside.
National Housing Day lines up with the appointment of our new premier, Heather Stefanson. As the new leadership sets its priorities, let’s make sure subsidized housing is on the agenda.

We call on Premier Stefanson to prioritize building 300 new subsidized housing units as soon as possible.
Please bring signs showing your support for subsidized housing.
We will be following all Covid-19 protocols. Please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

Virtual Book Launches
Free Online Event by McNally Robinson Booksellers

June 1, 7 PM – 8 PM
Registration: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B0XqYcJ6Rv2gXNymPEVmAQ?fbclid=IwAR3uY6hVQ0yTWjuKe4f4kuL1ZLvPQA0xwQ1f_MqMQm9sG2TzYPgEUHRFyEo

Please join Keith Cadieux as he celebrates the virtual launch of Signal Decay, featuring a conversation hosted by Seyward Goodhand.

Tim has recently passed away and left Lori with piles of expensive recording equipment and mountains of debt. Tim’s family wants to move on from the loss but Lori can’t let go, not while she can still hear Tim’s laugh as though he’s still there beside her. That is, until she begins to hear his laugh in odd places, like old recordings Tim never worked on.
Can love transcend to keep us connected through death? Or do we just create our own reality when we’re not ready to let go?


Keith Cadieux is a Winnipeg-based writer and editor. His debut, the novella Gaze was shortlisted for a Manitoba Book Award and a ReLit award. He co-edited the horror anthology The Shadow Over Portage and Main, which was also shortlisted for a Manitoba Book Award, as well as the ‘Fantasmagoriana Series’ published by the Winnipeg International Writers Festival.

West Central Women's Resource Centre

640 Ellice Ave, Winnipeg, MB, R3G 0A7



It’s devastating to see the toll this year has had on women in our community:

Women have been laid off from their service-industry jobs and have nowhere to go.

Women in our city are walking around without shoes.

Women don’t have supplies to keep themselves clean and safe. 

Women are struggling to access food for themselves and their children.

The need is overwhelming.



We staff the WCWRC Street Outreach Van – the only 7-day-a-week outreach services focused on women in Winnipeg. Every day we meet homeless women who are looking for safety and support, and just a little bit of connection and normalcy. By seeing many of the same women everyday, we can also check in on their well being and connect them with additional services, such as housing supports and counseling.


Will you please help keep the van on the road?

With your gift, you will ensure women have the support and dignity they deserve. Thank you!

Our Transition Services team has 9 clients who moved into housing on April 1st.

But we’re in need of items for Move-Out Kits to help turn their new living spaces into a home.

These kits include dinnerware, silverware, kitchen utensils, small appliances, and more. 


Complete Move-Out Kits or single items from the list are gratefully accepted. 

Your support is much appreciated and will make a difference in someone’s life!

The Assiniboine Valley Railway, Inc., 3001 Roblin Blvd.


The 1/8th scale railway just west of Assiniboine Park, is sad to report that the family of the AVR founder, the late Bill Taylor, has given notice that the AVR has 5 months to vacate the property.



We will likely have to put everything into storage temporarily. We will need a new home, or else will have to dissolve the AVR and sell off our assets.


All public access to the property must cease, so there will be no AVR Season this year. 
If we are to continue, we will need at least several acres to rebuild on, with hydro & water, close enough to the city that we and the public have easy access. We cannot see rebuilding without public monetary support.



All of us at the AVR miss Bill since his passing in 2013, and have been honored to continue his dream hobby that has given pleasure to so many people. We want to thank the thousands of people who have supported us and enjoyed riding on our Open House trains in the summer, on our Halloween and Christmas Weekend trains, and sharing meals on the Dinner Train Weekends.

EÅ‚exiìtÇ« ; Ehtsʼǫǫ̀ / Connected ; Apart From Each Other
By Casey Koyczan

April 30 - May 29 (by appointment, contact info@urbanshaman.org)

"EÅ‚exiìtÇ« ; Ehts'ǫǫ̀" is an interactive installation that communicates the journey of learning more about one's culture through distance education and research; utilizing and adapting to work with technology and communication tools as viable resources for learning language, tradition, stories, and spiritual beliefs.
Within my art I use every part of the materials harvested. During my early adulthood I've tried to follow the teachings of "Dene Laws”. I try to always return to these teachings as they have helped me to represent myself in a way that is common to Dene people.

ThetaHealing Manifesting & Abundance Workshop
Event by Divine Clarity and Kristel Kernaghan

In ThetaHealing®, the concept of manifesting is the Belief that it is possible to create something into the physical using the connection to the Creator of All That Is. Every statement, thought and action is reflected by what we are manifesting in our lives. If you constantly say that you are poor, you will be. It is of the utmost importance to stay on a positive mind set. But you must first decide what it is you want in your life.

This class will assist students in creating on a variety of ways in their life, as well as enable them to assist their clients in manifesting and abundance.

Prerequisite: Basic & Advanced DNA from a certified ThetaHealing™ teacher. Includes: Manifesting and Abundance Manual and Manifesting from the 7th Plane Meditation CD.
Investment: $500 plus GST (at start of class) or $550 plus GST (Installment plan). A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at time of registration, the balance due at the start of the workshop. Students may retake workshop for $200 plus GST.
