The Winnipeg Free Press is presenting Reopening MB, a four-part virtual town hall series that will answer questions about future plans in various sectors as we move slowly toward reopening the province.
The third discussion took place Wednesday and focused on how COVID-19 has affected the world of local sports, both on a professional and amateur level. Winnipeg Free Press sports editor Steve Lyons and columnist Mike McIntyre were joined by Wade Miller, president and CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and Janet McMahon, president and CEO of Sport Manitoba.
You can watch the replay below, or on the Winnipeg Free Press’s YouTube channel.
The first discussion took place Sept. 8 on the topic of vaccine ethics, featuring professor Arthur Schafer, an ethicist specializing in bioethics, philosophy of law, social philosophy and political philosophy, and hosted by columnist Dan Lett. View the replay here.
The second discussion took place on Sept. 15 and focused on the recovery of the local food and drink industry. Arts reporters Eva Wasney and Ben Sigurdson were joined by Shaun Jeffrey, executive director of Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association, Melanie Foucault, co-owner of Preservation Hall Eatery and Wine Bar, and John Heim, president of Torque Brewing. View the replay here.
One more event is planned in the Reopening MB town hall series. On Sept. 29 at noon, columnist Jen Zoratti and a panel of guests will discuss how arts and culture organizations are recovering, and what plans look like as they reopen. Register for your free ticket here.
