Can We Build a Resilient Winnipeg Worth Celebrating?

The Institute of Urban Studies and SpeakUp Winnipeg are pleased to present a special screening of “Souvenirs”, three remarkable short films about Winnipeg made from rare and mostly forgotten archival footage.

Souvenirs takes viewers on a fascinating journey to the past to see Winnipeg built from “Sand and Stone”, survive the 1950 flood in “Watermarks”, and celebrate its 75^th anniversary in “Waiting for the Parade.”

Hear the story behind the films from filmmaker Paula Kelly and City of Winnipeg Archivist Jody Baltessen.

Then join us for a panel discussion about the past, present and future of the City of Winnipeg as our city prepares for the 21^st Century with the SpeakUp Winnipeg process and the Our Winnipeg plan.
