Upcoming Community Events

Rally to Save Sunday Hours at the Millennium Library Sunday, March 10, 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. Lobby, Millennium Library

Come on down to the Millennium Library lobby this Sunday to make some art and some noise about how important our flagship library is - to Winnipeg and to downtown! We love that library hours will be expanded on Wednesdays and Sundays at other branches, but this can't happen at the cost of Sunday hours at the Millennium. Please sign our petitionhttps://budgetforall.org/ and connect with the Mayor and your City Councillorhttps://legacy.winnipeg.ca/council/wards/#/2022.

Student Affairs – Leaders in cultivating exceptional student experiences!

My home city, Winnipeg, sits on the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, and Dakota peoples and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. I am grateful to live and work on Treaty One Territory, and to have access to water from Shoal Lake #40 First Nation and hydroelectricity generated on the lands of many Indigenous communities in Northern Manitoba. As a descendant of refugees and immigrants who settled on Indigenous lands, I commit to challenging anti-Indigenous racism and supporting the work and leadership of Indigenous communities.
