THE TOUR
Canada 150 Tour
Running exclusively in July, this new tour focuses on confederation, colonization, and the impact history has had on the world around us! Discover the stories of Metis people within the Red River Colony and much more over the course of this incredible 90 minute tour, created especially for Canada’s 150th birthday by Exchange District BIZ tour guide Sabrina Janke.
THE DISPLAY
I Am Fine Art
This new exhibit from Jennifer Van de Vooren just opened yesterday at cre8ery, and is easily one of the can’t miss collections of the summer. Celebrating the greatness of women through “big, bold, abstract art”, Van de Vooren says her show is “a tribute to all women for the amazing love, nurturing, devotion, creativity, and strength that come so naturally,” and that her art specifically “reflects these qualities in all the beautiful, messy layers that mirror a woman’s life.”
