SUMMARY:Spring School Series - Walking Tours
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, Turtle Tours is inviting school groups to The Forks for an Indigenous-led walking tour rooted in place\, story\, and connection. \nInstead of learning from a textbook\, students walk the land where thousands of years of history happened. Through storytelling and discussion\, they learn about treaties\, trade\, the rivers\, and Indigenous perspectives from guides who are connected to this place. \nIt’s a simple but powerful shift\, students don’t just learn about history\, they experience it. \nThe 60-minute tour is designed for Grades 4–12 and supports what students are already learning in the classroom\, including Social Studies\, Indigenous Studies\, Geography\, Civics\, Economics\, and oral storytelling. \nSpring bookings are open for April\, May\, and June\, with group sizes up to 30 students. \nFor teachers looking for something meaningful\, local\, and actually engaging for their students… this is it.

SUMMARY:Conversations in Trust Winnipeg: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World
DESCRIPTION:Join prominent Canadian writers and leaders for a national conversation on connection. \nEvent is free\, please register to attend. \nCanadian writers create the connective tissue that bonds us — their insights inform our thinking on the issues that shape culture and their voices represent us to the world abroad. Authors tell stories of who we are and who we might become. Through the shared heritage of their books and the deep thinking that informs them\, writers bring complexity and nuance to a time that needs them. Yet\, the work of building connection is fraught with questions about how community can be held together when individuals hold disparate views\, and misinformation and misunderstanding are weaponized to sow discord. \nThe Winnipeg event will feature authors: \nZilla Jones\nTanya Talaga\nkatherena vermette \nWith 50 years of supporting writers as the truth-tellers of our world\, Writers’ Trust of Canada believes that we need writers to help us navigate the future. Writers’ Trust beneficiaries of 50 years of literary programming will bring their ideas to stages and communities across the country with the goal of helping us see that\, despite how it can feel in tumultuous times\, there is more that connects us than divides us.
