SUMMARY:Exploration of Contentment\, Solo Exhibition by Jordan Miller
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: September 20\, 1-4pm; artist talk 2pm.\nMeet the Artist: October 17\, 1-4pm.\nRegular hours:  Mon-Wed\, 10am to 4pm; Thurs 10-7pm. \nAn inner voice emerged as Exploration of Contentment unfolded. Intuitive abstraction came to life. Paintings developed personalities through colour\, line\, and mark-making.  \nLight and dark tones appeared like shifting emotions\, similar to the way a person processes challenges or reflects on past conversations. Discovering forgiveness\, moving beyond identifiable loss\, a contemplative yet positive tension exists. Layers are built up and swiped away. Vibrant\, subdued\, and translucent colours create visual harmony.  \nThe quiet solitude of creating is both restorative and energizing\, providing a fulcrum of balance within an abstracted mind filled with noise.  \nExploration of Contentment reflects on resilience and acceptance\, inviting viewers to consider their own relationship with the subtle ways contentment can coexist with uncertainty\, change\, and the complexities of modern life. \n(see “blog” at www.jordanlmiller.com for longer description)

SUMMARY:Red River Paddle Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a once-in-a-century celebration on the water—because this year’s Red River Paddle Challenge is an event you absolutely won’t want to miss. This year we are marking a monumental milestone: the 100-year anniversary of the legendary Les Voyageurs Canoe Race. \nIn 1926 Winnipeg Canoe Club Commodore Fred G. Thompson started a 100 km canoe challenge from Winnipeg to Lockport via the Winnipeg Canoe Club\, in honour of his brother\, Lieutenant Edward “Pace” Thompson. This iconic race helped define a century of grit\, endurance\, and deep connection to Manitoba’s waterways\, one we are proud to continue today! \nThis year’s Red River Paddle Challenge will weave the heritage of Canada’s longest-running canoe race into a vibrant\, modern celebration—uniting past and present through special centennial programming. \nSpecial events will include a historical party at The Forks Historic Port including re-enactments\, historical displays and celebrations. We will also release special edition swag and the opportunity to participate in the 110 km Les Voyageurs Challenge! \nBy hosting this historic year\, the Red River Paddle Challenge isn’t just paying tribute to a rugged paddling tradition—it’s reigniting a purpose that has inspired generations: to explore\, respect\, and celebrate the rivers that have shaped our shared heritage. This is more than a race. It’s a living story. And this year\, you’ll want to be part of it! \nFor 2026 we will be offering two race distances for paddlers to choose from! Both distances are open to all paddle craft. Prizes are awarded for both races. \nRed River Paddle Challenge\nThe Red River Paddle Challenge (RRPC) is a 44 kilometre (~27 miles) long distance single day paddling race on the Red River beginning in Winnipeg\, Manitoba and ending down river in Lockport\, Manitoba. \nLes Voyageurs Challenge\nLes Voyageurs Challenge is a 110 kilometer (~68 miles) ultra distance paddling race on the Red River beginning in Ste Agathe\, Manitoba and ending down river in Lockport\, Manitoba. Les Voyageurs is a two-day staged race where participants paddle from Ste Agathe to The Forks Historic Port in Winnipeg on day one and then on day two participants join in with the Red River Paddle Challenge paddlers and paddle to Lockport.

SUMMARY:Winnipeg Graffiti Boat Tour
DESCRIPTION:Before Winnipeg’s murals appeared on tourism brochures\, graffiti writers were painting train bridges\, river walls\, underpasses\, and abandoned spaces across the city. Long before social media\, young artists built reputations through skill\, risk\, and creativity—drawing inspiration from hip hop\, punk rock\, skateboarding\, BMX culture\, and underground music scenes.\nJoin Winnipeg graffiti pioneer Pat Lazo for a 60-minute river tour exploring the hidden history of graffiti in Winnipeg. From the earliest tags along the riverbanks to today’s celebrated mural movement\, Pat shares firsthand stories of the artists\, crews\, culture\, and communities that shaped the city’s urban art scene.\nAlong the way\, you’ll discover artwork that can only be properly viewed from the water\, learn how graffiti styles evolved over decades\, and gain a deeper understanding of the people behind the paint. Whether you’re an art lover\, lifelong Winnipegger\, or simply curious about the city’s underground history\, this tour offers a rare look at a side of Winnipeg most people never get to see. \nBoat ride begins and ends at the Forks. Hosted by Winnipeg Waterways. Book online or in person!
