CN 2747 Enclosure Project Capital Campaign

Help support the development of a permanent structure over this important historical asset in the community of Transcona.

The main purpose of the enclosure is to have the engine protected from the elements, vandalism, and theft. CN 2747 has been on outdoor display since 1960 and this has caused damage to the overall condition and stability of the engine. An enclosure will help to extend the lifespan of the engine. The estimated construction costs are $492,942.

Join photographer Chris Attrell and author Christine Hanlon for the virtual launch of the photograph collection Grain Elevators: Beacons of the Prairies.

On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhzzziVg49M

Rising above the landscape, the grain elevator heralds a time when wheat was king across the West. At their zenith, 5,758 of these prairie giants defined the economy and skyline of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Every year their numbers dwindle. Sometimes these towering signposts are all that is left of a town or hamlet once built around them. Award-winning photographer Chris Attrell captures the haunting presence of those that remain to stand guard over an ever-changing agrarian lifestyle.

Chris Attrell is the author of the bestselling book, Forgotten Saskatchewan. His work has been shown in galleries across the Prairies.
Christine Hanlon is the bestselling author of Old Winnipeg, Out of Old Manitoba Kitchens, co-author of The Manitoba Book of Everything, and curator/writer for Everything Manitoba: The Ultimate Book of Lists.

Gala for Literacy 2021

This gala event is all about supporting the literacy of men in conflict with the law.
Studies show that when individuals work on their literacy, they are less likely to re-offend. Plus, they’re better equipped to find housing, land a job or secure social services.

The money raised from this celebrity-endorsed event goes directly to our Literacy Department, and aids in our work with men on the inside and outside.
CBC humourist, Rick Mercer, is the main host, with segments hosted by former CBC Radio host, Terry MacLeod.
Katherena Vermette, our Poet Laureate for this year, will join us and read a few of her poems.
We will also give special recognition to one outstanding student and a pair of teachers.
Twin Flames, Stephen Fearing and Ashley MacIsaac will each perform for us.
And we’ll hear award-winning author Louise Penny read from a best-selling book.

The Literacy Program at the John Howard Society of Manitoba provides one-to-one assistance with reading, problem solving and mathematics in Winnipeg's Remand Centre and at several correctional facilities in the province. In pre-Covid times, we trained incarcerated men to become peer tutors. During Covid we offer instruction via Zoom.

In our Get The Story Out program, we record fathers reading stories for their children and then deliver the book to the child's parent or caregiver.

Lanterns for Peace 2017 

Hosted by Peace Alliance Winnipeg

Peace Alliance Winnipeg, the Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba, and Council of Canadians-Winnipeg Chapter commemorate the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima (Aug. 6) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9) with a Lantern Ceremony. 

We believe it is important to keep the memory of those horrible events alive so that current generations understand we must never allow nuclear weapons to be used again.

The ceremony is something the whole family can enjoy. Using art supplies provided by the organizers, you make lanterns and float them in the fountain. These videos will give you a good idea of what to expect:
