On January 28, 1914, renowned Canadian
feminist and social activist Nellie McClung
and her fellow suffragists staged a mock
parliament at the Walker Theatre in
Winnipeg (now the Burton Cummings
Theatre), exactly two years before women
won the right to vote in Manitoba.
The Winnipeg Contemporary
Dancers is Canada's longest-
operating modern dance
company. WCD started in 1964
by a student group formed by
former Royal Winnipeg Ballet
Dancer, Rachel Browne.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery holds in trust the
world's largest public collection of contemporary
Inuit art, including close to 14,000 works of
sculpture, prints, drawings and textiles.
