Ukrainian Labour Temple

The Ukrainian Labour Temple is a hall and cultural centre in the north end of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is run by the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians and is located at 591 Pritchard Avenue. The Ukrainian labour temple is one of the few left in a once large network of such halls and is one of the largest and oldest of its kind. The building was constructed from 1918 to 19 using volunteer labour. The building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2009. Revonations to the building were undertaken in 2021 to improve accessibility and to restore the windows to their original appearance. The unity of working people is symbolized over the entrance by a carved stone relief of two clasped hands reaching across the globe, underscored with a ribbon with lettering that reads Workers of the World, Unite. The building hosts Ivan Franko Museum.

Український робітничий дім

Український робітничий дім (Ukrainian Labour Temple) — культурний центр у північній частині Вінніпега, провінції Манітоби. Ним завідує Товариство об'єднаних українських канадців. Вінніпезький дім є одним із небагатьох, що залишилися від колись великої мережі таких закладів і є одним із найбільших та найстаріших у своєму роді. Будівля була збудована у 1918-1919 роках переважно за рахунок добровільних пожертвувань та волонтерської праці українських канадських робітників, ним завідувала однойменна організація. Дім розташований на Прічард Авеню 591. У 2000-х роках будівля була відреставрована й занесена до реєстру історичних пам'яток державного значення, а 2009 року передана під опіку Національного історичного музею Канади. Дім був центром робітничого руху у Вінніпезі (не лише українців), а 1919 року з нього почався Вінніпезький загальний страйк, після придушення якого будівлю брала штурмом поліція. Примітки

Armit Meadows Ecological Reserve

Armit Meadows Ecological Reserve is an ecological reserve located in Porcupine Provincial Forest, Manitoba, Canada. It was established in 2015 under the Manitoba Ecological Reserves Act. It is 2.63 square kilometres (1.02 sq mi) in size. Geography Armit Meadows Ecological Reserve is located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) northwest of Swan River, Manitoba near the Manitoba Saskatchewan border. The reserve is situated within the Porcupine Hills, the northernmost area of hills associated with the Manitoba Escarpment within Manitoba. The hills lie within the eastern portion of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in an area where the Souris River Formation overlays the Precambrian bedrock. This layer of shale and limestone was deposited by a shallow sea during the Devonian period. The bedrock underneath the hills is higher than in the surrounding region. During the Quaternary period, when the ice sheets advanced and retreated, these raised areas of bedrock snagged more glacial till than their surroundings, further increasing their height. The reserve contains part of the course of the Armit River as it flows north through the Armit River Canyon. This canyon cuts through the layers of glacial till and the Devonian sediments creating substantial cliffs parallel to the river. Ecology The reserve protects the riparian zone of the Armit River and the adjacent uplands containing spruce forest, sphagnum meadows and fescue prairie. This area marks the most northerly location of fescue prairie in Manitoba. Fescue bunchgrasses found in the reserve provide winter forage for elk. Leatherleaf and cottongrass bloom in dry sphagnum meadows within the reserve. The reserve is within the Porcupine Hills Ecodistrict in the Mid-Boreal Uplands Ecoregion within the Boreal Plains Ecozone. This eco-district has significant forested areas with mixed stands of white spruce and balsam fir. Trembling aspen, balsam poplar, and jack pine are found on drier sites. Black spruce and tamarack grow in poorly drained areas.

Westgate Mennonite Collegiate

Westgate Mennonite Collegiate is a grade 6 to 12 Mennonite private school in Winnipeg, Manitoba. History Westgate Mennonite Collegiate, which was originally called the Mennonite Educational Institute, was formed in 1958. The school originally had two teachers, one who taught grade 7 and 8, and the other who taught grade 9 to 11. Classes were held in First Mennonite Church before moving to a vacant church building on Edison Avenue. The school moved to its current location on 86 West Gate in 1964 and then they were able to offer more programs. A gymnasium, multi-purpose room, and office space were built in 1978. This allowed Westgate to continue its choir and add a band program, as well as several extra-curricular activities and electives. The old building was replaced in 1989 with the current one that had labs and more classroom space. In 2008, the school's proposed expansion plans were rejected by the city of Winnipeg. Subsequently, the school developed plans to relocate to a more central location. In 2012 the school applied again for city approval of a smaller (but still substantial) redevelopment at its current location, and in March 2012 the school received approval from the board of adjustment. In the 2016–2017 school year, they performed their renovation, and completed it in time for the 2017–2018 school year. Athletics Coach Karl Wiebe, a coach at Westgate since 1983, was named coach of the year by the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Association in 2010, after leading the Westgate boys' basketball team to two provincial championships. Westgate plays in zone 2 (SCAC) in the Manitoba High Schools Athletics Association. From 2001 to 2012, Westgate Mennonite Collegiate won 8 National skiing championships.

Wildwood Park, Winnipeg

Wildwood Park (also spelled Wildewood) is a suburban, planned community in Winnipeg that has a central green space and no front roads (only back alleys), with communal walkways, playgrounds, and parks. Nearly all of the original houses are based on five variations of three basic designs, pre-fabricated in one section of the site. The site plan concept is based on the Radburn community design of architects Henry Wright and Clarence Stein who advocated the idea of designing neighbourhoods for the "motor age". It varies from the original in the introduction of crescents (or loops) as the local access roads. It was developed in 1946–47 by Hubert Bird and designed by Green, Blankstein, Russell (GBR). It is well known as an early example of the Radburn pattern, which has found extensive application in the second half of the 20th century. It presages the emergence of the fused grid that uses the same principle of filtered permeability. Governance Wildwood Park is in the Fort Rouge–East Fort Garry city ward and the Pembina Trails School Division of Winnipeg. It corresponds to Statistics Canada's census dissemination area 110466, in census tract 0503.00, within the Winnipeg census division, part of the Winnipeg census metropolitan area. It comprises much of the Wildwood neighbourhood of Winnipeg, within the Fort Garry North neighbourhood cluster (according to how census data is reported for the city of Winnipeg). It is in the Fort Garry provincial electoral division (Fort Garry-Riverview from 2011 to 2019) and the Winnipeg South Centre federal electoral division (Winnipeg South prior to 2004). Before the unicity amalgamation in 1972, this was part of the Rural Municipality of Fort Garry. References Further reading Gillmor, Don. 2005.
