The bar slated its grand reopening for Sept. 7, but permit issues and outstanding work on their sprinkler system have delayed the opening. The albert closed in May 2011 after a water-line break flooded the base- ment. Because the break was located on private property, city crews could help control the leak but the owners of the albert were left responsible for the repairs. The owners claimed the city broke a valve on an aban- doned pipe. rent controL guideLines updated rent increases will be limited to one per cent for most units in 2013, the province announced. The guideline applies to most apartments, single rooms, houses and duplexes, person- al-care homes, non-profit housing with subsidized rent and buildings that are less than 20 years old.

  • To View the Official Program!
    20 years of the gathering of the juggalos... On this momentous occasion, we Gather together not just to celebrate the 20th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos, but to uphold the legacy of our Juggalo Family. For two decades strong, we have converged at the height of the summer season for something so much more than the concerts, the lights, the sounds, the revelry, and the circus. There is no mistaking that the Gathering is the Greatest Show on Earth and has rightfully earned the title as the longest running independent rap festival on this or any other known planet. And while all these accolades are well-deserved and a point of pride, in our hearts we know...There is so much more to this. A greater reason and purpose. A magic that calls us together. That knowing. The spirit of the tribe. The call of the Dark Carnival. The magic mists that float by as we gaze through the trees into starry skies. We are together. And THAT is what we celebrate here, after 20 long, fresh, hilarious, incredible, tremendously karma-filled years. We call this the Soopa Gathering because we are here to celebrate the superpowers of the Juggalo Family. All of us here together and united are capable of heroics and strength beyond measure. We are Soopa. We are mighty. For we have found each other by the magic of the Carnival—standing 20 years strong on the Dirtball as we see into the eternity of Shangri-La. Finding Forever together, may the Dark Carnival empower and ignite the Hero in you ALL..

    Manitoba’s Employment Landscape in the Heritage Field RESEARCH REPORT | MAY 2021 For information about the Centennial Institute, please visit https://www.wpgfdn.org/leadership/centennial-institute-fund/ Research conducted by Legacy Bowes THE Centennial Institute was created by The Winnipeg Foundation in tribute to earlier generations of Canadians who established a legacy of values that profoundly influence our community today – the importance of philanthropy and human rights as well as the constructive interaction between government, the private sector and organizations that comprise civil society. Supporting those with interest in the life and times of the past is an opportunity to not only tell the story of Canada but also to include the heritage of all Canadians whose many diverse social and cultural backgrounds shape our national identity. The mission of the Centennial Institute includes building professional strength amongst those working in the heritage field. Accordingly, the firm of Legacy Bowes was engaged to conduct an environmental scan to better define Manitoba’s employment landscape. Its full report is included in this publication.
