Part of Doors Open – Celebrating the stories our buildings tell
Ukrainian Labour Temple and Doors Open
Saturday, May 24 & Sunday, May 25
Noon – 4:00 pm
Location: Ukrainian Labour Temple - 591 Pritchard Avenue

Built over one hundred years ago, largely by volunteer labour committed to art, culture, and community activism, our building played a role in the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike and is the only labour building that is still active to this day.
You may have driven by our historic building many times without realizing what treasurers await inside.

This year we are featuring our incredible interior that continues to amaze those seeing inside our building for the first time. From the detailed ornate features to our historic stage and balcony, everything has remained largely intact as built in 1919. 

NOTE: Saturday's tours will be in conjunction with our "North End NEIGHBORS" Culture Fest.

This book presents a radical proposal: paying students to attend school. Part polemic, part movement history, and part political strategy, Wages for Schoolwork is a rousing manifesto and call to action for disillusioned high school students fed up with stressed teachers, excessive workloads, and onerous adult expectations. Drawing on the rich history of student resistance and school strikes, this book charts a new course for education—one that recognizes the countless hours students devote to studying for what it actually is: labour. 

Informed by the victories of organized labour, feminist, and anti-racist movements, Wages for Schoolwork brings class struggle to the classroom by placing students at the center of the fight for a more just world.

The Invisible Doctrine explores the dominant ideologies, political economy, corporate power, globalization, labour history, economic inequality, consumerism, environmental issues, the climate crisis, public relations and propaganda, social alienation, and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism. The film has a depressing topic but an inspiring conclusion, describing a truly participatory democratic political system to repair the damage neoliberalism has done – a system that appeals to us as active citizens rather than consumers and our shared social, political, and environmental commons.
