Plans for MayWorks 2025: Celebrating Labour and the Arts are underway.  This yearly festival honours and promotes cultural expressions produced by artists depicting working class life and aspirations as well as by workers interpreting their own lives, work and struggles to build a better world. 

The Festival takes place in and around May.  Artists, performers, writers, dancers, filmmakers, actors, comedians or others who have an exhibit, a performance, a project or an event that will take place in that time frame, please submit a description of your event to info@mayworks.org by March 15, 2025.  MayWorks will promote your organization and event in our online and print calendar.

MayWorks is a non-profit organization established in 1997, inspired by events surrounding the 75^th anniversary of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. 

Each year in Canada, we remember workers we lost to workplace injuries and illnesses with a National Day of Mourning.  Canada was the first country to commemorate this day, but it is now observed in over 80 countries around the world.
