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:2026 Never Alone Cancer Foundation Dragon Boat Festivals
DESCRIPTION:Never Alone Cancer Foundation is proud to partner with the Manitoba Paddling Association to host one of the summer’s biggest events: The Dragon Boat Festivals!  This year’s festival will be held at The Manitoba Canoe and Kayak Centre\, 80 Churchill Drive.  Dragon boating is one of Winnipeg’s most popular summer events\, and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it! \nThis event is a FUNdraiser for the Never Alone Cancer Foundation\, a Winnipeg-based not-for-profit charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by cancer in our community.  Many people do not realize the financial hardships that accompany a cancer diagnosis.  Without benefits\, a cancer diagnosis leaves many unable to work or even care for their children because they are too ill.  No one should ever have to choose between groceries and the cost of gas and parking to get to their treatments.
