Autumn paints Manitoba in a brilliance all its own — fiery reds, deep golds, and the soft rust of leaves catching the afternoon light. Each gust of wind carries a whisper of change, reminding us to pause and take in the fleeting beauty before winter’s stillness settles in. There’s something magical in how the sunlight filters through these vivid leaves, turning the ordinary into something quietly radiant.
As we move toward the colder months, we’re also looking forward to the warmth of creativity that continues to grow in our community. Our Fall and Winter program in Winnipeg will bring together artists, storytellers, and neighbours to share, learn, and create — a season of reflection and renewal, much like autumn itself.
