The University of Winnipeg staff, faculty, and students - we invite you to take the 2023 UW Commuter Survey for your chance to WIN many great prizes, including 1 of 2 custom bicycle builds from The WRENCH!

This data is important for us to determine how the campus community gets to and from UW. It will help us see what is going right and short falls lie, to hopefully take it easier for you to commute to campus sustainably.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

CULTURE OF REPAIR - NEXT GATHERING:

WEDNESDAY, August 31 at 7pm with Karen Sharma, Anna Marie Janzen, and Helga Jakobson!

Full speaker bios on our website!

ARTSJUNKTION, 312 WILLIAM IN THE COURTYARD

Dress for the weather! (If it rains/weather is very bad, we will be indoors.)

Accessibility notes: The bathrooms are indoors and there are five steps to get into the building.

SERIES DESCRIPTION: Over the coming year, we will consider the question 'What is a Culture of Repair' in public in a series of free monthly talks with friends from the Homeland of the Metis/Treaty One Territory, including Andree Forest and Janelle Delorme, The Women's Health Clinic, Geoff Heath, Filmmaker Nilufer Rahman, Daniel Friesen from Winnipeg Police Cause Harm, Helga Jakobson from ArtsJunktion, Merrill Grant from the WRENCH, Musicians Naomi Woo and Ashley Au, Farmer Lydia Carpenter, Levi Foy from Sunshine House, Artist Ness Wynrush, and Author and Organiser Clayton Thomas Mueller.

The conversation will help guide our work, and support Winnipeggers to consider the question as well. How could we define a culture of repair? How is this question useful in considering challenges of climate change, and poverty and its impacts, for example. How does Winnipeg already have a culture of repair? How do we avoid or ignore the potential for repair. Where is repair helpful? Where is it not? If we think it’s a useful concept, how could we move even more towards a culture of repair?

In partnership with ArtsJunktion mb The WRENCH!
