Registration
by James Naylor 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi everyone, I'm sending current registration material. EOD refers to online registration at end of day; mail (cheques) and phone should be self-explanatory and there were a couple "others." At some point we'll clean this all up into one list to help produce badges and receipts. Current registration (Friday evening) sits at 234.

Questions regarding Saturday Bus Tours
by Amber Ostermann 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Good morning: I am confirming some information with Winnipeg Transit regarding the booking that Paul Jenkins originally made for us. (This booking has been switched to my name.) Can someone please confirm for me this morning the following timeline: * 12:30 pm - roundtable ends * Is there lunch following the roundtable and before we board buses? If so, what's the time range? * The online program indicates bus tour is 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm. * What time do we actually want to DEPART from UofW? * How long is the actual tour? * This will then determine our return time to UW. I will take this info and add in unloading time and time to and from the garage for the buses so that we can get a clearer estimate for this cost - as the driver time portion of the estimate/payment is logged from the time they leave the garage to the time they return. I will need a map/itinerary provided to me so I may give this to Transit so the drivers can be familiar with the route prior to the event. Who can provide this to me? (Not needed today but soon.) Also, our current booking is for 5 buses (185 seats). I've asked them to quote for both 5 and 6 buses in case we need to increase our capacity. (Will be determined once we finalize this Saturday a procedure to track attendance for the bus tour.) Transit indicated that moving up from 5 to 6 buses would not be a problem if we need to. Budget: A deposit has not been paid for this booking and Transit confirmed to me that one is not needed. They just bill after the event. Finally, Transit indicated that since this is a conference we may be eligible for a grant that would provide us a discount. He's going to send me the info on it to see if we qualify. Fingers crossed on this one. Thanks, Amber Amber Ostermann Communications Specialist Faculty of Arts University of Manitoba 204-480-1498

Library talk today
by James Naylor 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

I know it's last minute, but I assume that we are announcing or handing out flyers about free events? In any case, we have to be careful about the Ukrainian Labour Temple advertising because of limited capacity. We will probably have to ask members of "the public" to register to hear the keynote. I assume that the Wednesday evening will be okay since they know the issue, but given the discussion about Thursday capacity, it is perhaps best that we let people know that there is limited room, and perhaps we can lead them to our website for more information (particularly if we decide to set up a system of registration).

I will be attending as a delegate already, and am a volunteer with the 1919 events committee, but wanted to reach out to help make connections for delegates to our Labour Program services, our national labour education & training opportunities with the Cdn Labour Congress, our social stewarding resource app across Canada (and in Manitoba: mb.211.ca), etc. I think it is a great opportunity to help build stronger relationships with the communities we live and work in, and I'm hoping that you might consider this opportunity. We also have created a window display timeline of Labour & the building and funding of the social service sector in Winnipeg that will be launched in early May that might be of interest to delegates. I have connected with Anna Rothney already about including information for the conference delegate kits, but with that said, I could also see if we might be able to bring along a few of our mounted panels of artifacts and images to have on display. It might be a great eye catching way to make a local, community connection to social justice activism, the work sector, and the supports and resources for our labour movement. Thank you for considering the opportunity and ask. I look forward to hearing from you! Solidarity, Gina McKay Gina McKay Labour Director United Way Winnipeg 580 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1C7 Ph.

Riley funding reminder
by Janis Thiessen 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

In the budget distributed last meeting, the following events are listed as to be paid for by the Riley fund: 1. Saturday bag lunch ($2500) 2. Thursday keynote speaker fees, transportation, and hospitality ($6000) 3. Thursday night event catering ($5500) 4. Wednesday reception refreshments ($2800) 5. Strike tour buses ($3000) 6. Thursday night event buses ($2500) A reminder from the Riley committee, with whom I just met and to whom I am answerable for the funds: We cannot spend Riley funds on anything that is not both FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, and the Riley logo must be prominently featured on/at events they fund. I'm not sure what the status of #3 and #6 are, but I think we had decided on Good Will and X-Cues? We can't use this money for Good Will because of the cover charge. Nor can we use it for #1 unless we give free lunches to everyone on the bus tour (not just conference registrants). And we can't use it for #4 or #5 if there is any preferential access to spaces for conference registrants.

Riley Grant events
by James Naylor 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

Hi all, This came up briefly at the last meeting, but we never got back to it. The Riley grant from the U of Winnipeg, which has to be spent on events open to the public, is going to be directed to three events in the conference: the Wednesday evening panel on commemoration, the Thursday evening event at the Ukrainian Labour Temple with the keynote, and the Saturday afternoon bus tours. We need to figure out how to advertise these events, and what it means for our planning. A prime audience for the wednesday evening are the folks who are attending the series at the Library. Can we produce a leaflet (Krishna) for them? Where else can we advertise it. This is a potentially useful thing, because we may attract people who decide to register and stay for the conference. The Wednesday event could be quite popular, which raises another issue. I am keeping an eye on registrations and was going to report immediately after early bird registration ends April 1. But this event may attract a significant number of other people which suggests that we may already know that Convocation Hall isn’t large enough. Janis: you may want to report this to the event planning people. I will get back to you when registration itself hits 200, but we should let them know that we are planning and event that isn’t limited to registrants. For Thursday evening, our main audiences will be accessed through the MFL and Labour Council. Sharon and Jeff can talk to the MFL about this? Perhaps we could quickly make an announcement to put in the next 1919 newsletter? And there may be some affiliates who are particularly interested in McAlevey. Who organized her last visit to the labour council? Finally, we need to be careful about the bus tours. If we throw it open, we could be swamped and our delegates wouldn’t be able to get on the bus. I’m going to suggest that we have a signup sheet, or print tickets. If our delegates want to go, they can sign up. And we can announce at the conference that they can bring friends and family, but they have to sign them up. And we can allow people who attended the Wednesday and/or Thursday evening events (from the “public”) to sign up as well. This way it’s open, but not out of control And we’ll have a list and can adjust the number of busses. Does this work for people? Ideas welcome!

Fight for 15 Friday Night event
by Scott Price 18 Mar '19

18 Mar '19

Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a formal proposal to the committee about a Friday night event. Fight for 15 Manitoba (FF15MB) will be organizing a social at X-cues (551 Sargent ave) on the night of May 10th. It will be a casual event meant for socializing and a networking opportunity for FF15MB. We'll have a 50\50 to raise money for FF15MB. We might organize a pool tournament depending if people are interested. In terms of advertising and arrangements for event FF15MB will be handling that. The only requests are if the event could be placed in the conference schedule and if the committee could cover the cost of the space booking ($200). Thank you for the consideration. Scott Price

It does seat 77 so if you would prefer to use it for the conference and a smaller room on the 3rd floor let me know, I just thought it was more central to Convocation Hall and the book fair and has the washrooms close by. Please let me know your preferences and if you have any questions! Best, Marina Britten Event Coordinator Conference and Events Services P 204.988.7525

A Very Easy Friday Night Option...
by Rhonda Hinther 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

Hi Everyone, A very easy Friday night opportunity has presented itself that will serve to reduce the Friday night workload for us (ie, the need to compile a list of suggested places for folks to go since planning an official event is looking like a no-go). I had a chance to talk to the manager at the Good Will on Portage (http://thegoodwill.ca/), and he said they would be very pleased to welcome us for an official pub night there (5-9-ish). It’s an easy walk from UW and, I believe, fully accessible. The have food and drink that would accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements. Our conference sessions end at five, and we could direct folks there then. They will have some bands going on at 9, and our folks would either have to pay the $10 cover to stay for that (so the bands can be paid) or head out. Interestingly, the gig they had planned for that night seems to have fallen through, and it sounds (but this is not confirmed) that they might be looking to do one of their “Bands as Bands” events. For those of you who don’t know, this is where they get a few local bands to interpret the music of well-known artists. This is definitely not confirmed, but when I raised it, the manager said it might be possible for them to try to shape this Bands as Bands around labour-flavoured acts like Springsteen or, GASP, Billy Bragg! I gave Jason a heads-up on this possibility, since he was holding the WECC for us that night, and it looks like there’s a possibility that the WECC could cosponsor this with the GW. I guess they’ve done things like this before. So that would be a nice bonus, which we’ll still need to explore. I’m waiting to hear back from the GW with more info on all this (but mostly that they can definitely accommodate us from 5-9 for the pub night portion). Before this went any further with this, though, I wanted to bring this to y’all to make sure I should proceed. Rhonda

Re: [1919-Conference] entertainment planning committee decision for Friday event
by Scott Price 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

Hello everyone, The entertainment sub-committee explored many options and reached the following decision: The 1919 committee will co-sponsor the CCPA Boots Riley event on Saturday evening. Registrants will have time to attend both the Riley event and the Labour Temple social. For Friday night, the conference schedule will provide a list of local events, venues, and restaurants people can go to on their own. We decided this based on the lack of time to organize something worthwhile and with the conference schedule already packed as it is we decided to give people the chance to do whatever it is they want to do. *Unless a **majority of the committee objects **before Friday 4:00 PM, *we will proceed with contacting the CCPA so that our conference logo can be included on the ads for the event that are going out on Monday. We will also ask the CCPA to set aside a number of reduced-price tickets for conference attendees, and contact registrants to act quickly to get a ticket. Scott Price
