Come join us as Greg Agnew goes back into history to tell us about the Selkirk Settlers. The Red River Colony (or Selkirk Settlement) was a colonization project set up in 1811 by Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk, on 300,000 square kilometres (120,000 sq mi) of land. We will find out their struggles of living in a new land in the 1800’s.

Play your part in preventing the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle by getting your hips moving. The movement of belly dancing allows for the body to get back into its natural flow, improves the spinal curve, and the intentional and graceful movements will allow for both physical and mental relaxation. Belly dancing is considered a low impact exercise, which means it works with the body rather than against it to produce healthy results.

Come and join Heritage Winnipeg as we learn about all the elite, historic homes hiding in our city. Housing in Winnipeg and surrounding areas of Manitoba has changed significantly over the years, from the simple but sturdy Red River frame houses, to the whimsical Queen Anne revival buildings and the stately and open homes of the Winnipeg elite in the early 20th century.

Keep your hands warm and toasty this winter with some handmade mittens. These mittens are made from melton: a type of wool woven in twill form, leather, and fleece, and will be sewn together by hand. Melton is wind and weather resistant and will keep your hands warm all winter. These will make a lovely winter accessory or a gift for someone you love.

While most people know dream catchers as a purely decorative item, these have a rich history among indigenous cultures. The legend of the spider woman, also known as the Absibikaashi, is said to have protected children while they slept. When the Ojibwe people began spreading out across Canada it was hard for the spider woman to visit all the children, so the females of the families began creating spider web inspired nets to act as protective charms to catch evil spirits in the form of nightmares; thus keeping their children safe. All the supplies you need to make a lovely decorative, or spirit catching piece of art will be provided for you.

Kat will lead the group in a step-by-step tutorial to make a centre piece. Real flowers are being used and all supplies are provided for this piece to take home.
