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.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in the Ruins presents - As You Like It
DESCRIPTION:“The fool doth think he is wise\, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” \nRunning June 4 to July 5 at the beautiful Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park\, As You Like It is one of two productions by Shakespeare in the Ruins this summer. Shakespeare’s beloved comedy of exile\, disguise\, and romance follows Rosalind and a cast of unforgettable characters as they escape into the Forest of Arden\, where identities shift\, love blooms\, and old conflicts give way to reconciliation. Along the way are witty fools\, mistaken identities\, and one of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches: “All the world’s a stage.” \nThe natural beauty of the Trappist grounds provides the perfect setting for the wild magic of Arden Forest\, making this joyful celebration of love\, transformation\, humour\, and human connection feel as though it has stepped directly out of the landscape itself. \nUnder the theme “Love & Legends\,” SIR’s 2026 season brings two timeless stories\, As You Like It and An Iliad (opening June 18)\, into conversation: the pastoral and the epic\, the laughter of love and the silence after battle.  \nShakespeare in the Ruins is known for transforming the historic ruins into a dynamic open-air stage where audiences are surrounded by nature\, history\, and live performance under the open prairie sky. The close proximity between performers and audience creates an intimate and engaging atmosphere that makes every show feel immediate\, alive\, and unforgettable. As a bonus\, we provide the chairs\, and drinks\, snacks\, and merch are available on-site! All you need to do is show up (with your ticket) – you can plan your visit on our website.  \nThese performances and the outdoor setting are ideal for all ages\, so bring your family and friends!  \nTickets are on sale now. For showtimes and ticket information\, visit www.shakespeareintheruins.com or call the box office at 204-891-9160.

SUMMARY:Shakespeare in the Ruins presents – An Iliad
