Community Yoga
The Forks is pleased to host a new pilot program: community yoga!
Every Saturday for the month of November from 10-11am in room 201 upstairs in The Market. All are welcome to practice yoga regardless of experience, gender, sexual orientation, race or economic background. It’s free for all to attend.
Classes will be led by Andrea Robin in Hatha and Vinyasa style yoga. Andrea walks the perfect balance of translating the traditional Sanskrit roots of the practice to the realities of the non-yogi who just want to stretch, breathe and connect to their body.
Class space is limited. Doors open at 9:30am. To book your spot, sign the registration form at the door and drop off your mat. Perhaps grab a pre-yoga latte from Fools + Horses? New to yoga and mat-less? Don’t worry, we’ll have a few on hand if you need one!
As this is a pilot program, your feedback is so important to help us develop more community recreational programming. In exchange of your participation, we ask that you participate in a two-minute email survey.

The Rescue: A Live Film-Concerto
In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht
Discover the untold story of the diplomat from El Salvador who saved the lives of 13,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
The Museum is proud to partner with the Freeman Family Foundation Holocaust Education Centre, the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs in commemorating the 80th anniversary of Kristallnacht.
In 1942, José Arturo Castellanos was the Salvadoran ambassador to Switzerland. Seeing the plight of European Jews trying to flee Nazi persecution, he issued more than 13,000 Salvadoran nationality papers to Jews in Hungary, Romania, France, the Netherlands and Germany. Today, his grandsons Alvaro and Boris Castellanos have created The Rescue, a film on their grandfather’s legacy and the power we all have to help those seeking refuge.
The Rescue: A Live Film-Concerto is an innovative and engaging way of telling the story of Col. Castellanos and the thousands he saved, combining the film with a live concert performance of its musical soundtrack by a six-piece Latin chamber orchestra.
The screening of The Rescue will be accompanied by commentary from Museum curator Dr. Jeremy Maron. A question and answer session will follow the film screening.
Seating is limited.

Film Screening of That Never Happened
To honour Remembrance Day
Discover the stories of thousands of men, women, and children interned by the Canadian government during the First World War.
Between 1914 and 1920, the Canadian government targeted thousands of people it had deemed “enemy aliens.” Families were separated as people were sent to forced labour and internment camps. Long hidden from public view, the stories of those who had been imprisoned did not come to light until the 1980s due to the efforts of a few dedicated men and women.
That Never Happened is a documentary produced by Armistice Films that chronicles the experiences of internees and the legacy of Canada’s internment programs.
Director Ryan Boyko and producer Diana Cofini will be on site to share some of their reflections before the screening. A question and answer period will follow the film.
Running time of the film is 78 minutes.

Twin Flames Vintage Pop-up
Twin Flames is a vintage and contemporary clothing pop up based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We established on November 4th, 2017.

We can’t wait to share our collection of stylish clothing with the public, and help find the pieces that were always meant to be, your very own ‘twin flame’ in the form of fashion.

Book launch with author Serge Cipko
Starving Ukraine: The Holodomor and Canada's Response
Meet author Serge Cipko as he discusses his new book, Starving Ukraine: The Holodomor and Canada's Response.
Dr. Serge Cipko is Assistant Director, Research, at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (University of Alberta).
In the early 1930s, how much did Canadians know about the deliberate starvation imposed on Ukrainian farmers during the Soviet era? Dr. Cipko’s book explores the different viewpoints as they appeared on Canadian press at the time of the genocide.
The event will wrap up with a book signing and a meet-and-greet with the author.
The book will be available for purchase in the Museum Boutique.
This program is subject to change or cancellation without notice.
