Kenny from Film & Special Events Kenny Boyce is the manager of Film & Special Events. It's hard to say if he was first drawn to show business when his uncle won a colour TV and gave it to his family. Or if it was watching movies at the Highland Theatre on Main. Or sitting outside the Winnipeg Stadium listening to concerts. Whether it's a film shooting in the Exchange District, a sporting event, festival, or parade rolling down Portage Avenue, Kenny and his team are part of them all. Originally an office of one, he started with the City in the 90s working out of Mayor Thompson's private dining room. Kenny fills in the blanks on his unique career path and recalls the day he met Queen Elizabeth II as one of his best days on the job. You may wonder how many actors, hip hop artists, and rock stars have 'Kenny B' in their phones. Spoiler alert: He's not going to tell us. Kenny honours those relationships. He credits that discretion (and keeping a clean inbox) with getting him where he is today. He's a proud Winnipegger and here to stay.This podcast is recorded in Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininew, and Dakota peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

Chris Baker is the Senior Active Transportation Planner in the Public Works Department. From the first bylaws establishing bike paths in 1898 to the micro-mobility of today, we cover a lot of ground in this episode. It's important for the City of Winnipeg to evolve and provide transportation choices for people of all ages and abilities. People, bikes, and vehicles can co-exist and Chris highlights the river trail as a great example of a multi-use path. And as a winter city, Winnipeg continues to expand its network of bike lanes to keep winter cyclists in their lane. He also speaks about the neighbourhood greenways. These are streets with low traffic speeds and volumes where vehicles and bikes share the road equally. If you haven't been biking for a while, these are great spaces to get you back in the saddle.

Il est important que la Ville de Winnipeg évolue et qu'elle offre des possibilités de transport pour les personnes de tous les âges et de toutes les capacités. Les gens, les vélos et les véhicules peuvent coexister; comme le fait remarquer Chris, le sentier fluvial est un excellent exemple de piste polyvalente. En tant que ville hivernale, Winnipeg continue de développer son réseau de pistes cyclables pour favoriser les déplacements des cyclistes pendant l'hiver. Il parle aussi des couloirs verts de quartier. Il s'agit de rues où la circulation est faible et la vitesse de conduite est basse, ce qui permet aux véhicules et aux vélos de se partager la route de façon équitable. Si ça fait longtemps que vous n'avez pas fait de vélo, ces rues sont l'endroit idéal où se remettre en selle.Ce balado est enregistré sur le territoire visé par le Traité no 1, le berceau et territoire traditionnel des peuples anishinaabe, ininew et dakota, et les terres ancestrales nationales des Métis de la Rivière-Rouge.

Indigenous knowledge has historically been marginalised or actively excluded from higher education. However, universities around the world are now recognising that First Nations' wisdom and culture can enrich education and are giving these communities a greater voice. Of course, with deep-rooted issues such as decolonisation and lack of parity to be addressed, there's still a way to go. In this episode, Indigenous university leaders – in Canada and New Zealand – explain how their institutions support First Nations' participation in higher education. First, we talk to Angie Bruce, a Red River Métis woman who is vice-president (Indigenous) at the University of Manitoba. Prior to taking up her post, Angie had extensive experience working with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in public sector organisations. She discusses the historical and systemic barriers to Indigenous involvement in Canadian higher education and what institutions can do to break these down. We also meet Te Kawehau Hoskins, who is pro vice-chancellor (Māori) at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. A professor in Māori and Indigenous education and philosophy, her research interests are Indigenous Māori political philosophy and practice, Indigenous–settler relations and Treaty practice. She tells us about her journey into higher education and how spaces on campus allow First Nations and non-Indigenous students and faculty to come together in a meaningful way.

September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, as well as Orange Shirt Day, a time to honour the Indigenous children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and their families and communities. In recognition of this important day, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau joined host Shayla Oulette Stonechild for a reflective conversation on how healing and empowerment through wellness can support us in navigating the necessary, but often challenging, conversations around reconciliation. This event brings together the unique perspectives of Shayla, a Red River Métis and Nehiyaw iskwew (Plains Cree woman), founder of the Matriarch Movement and global yoga ambassador for lululemon, and Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, an author and passionate mental health advocate committed to supporting reconciliation. Shayla's lived experience as an Indigenous woman, paired with Sophie's role as an ally, offers a powerful dialogue on how both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people can engage in the reconciliation process. Their collaboration emphasizes the importance of honouring Indigenous voices while encouraging non-Indigenous individuals to actively participate in reconciliation through awareness, healing, wellness, and meaningful action. The session includes a discussion on the significance of National Truth and Reconciliation Day for both Shayla and Sophie, followed by a guided meditation, breathwork, and accessible movement (yoga). The event concluces with a Q&A session, allowing the audience to engage in thoughtful dialogue. Shayla shared her personal connection to residential schools through her father's experiences. Sophie emphasized the importance for non-Indigenous people to learn from Indigenous healing practices. They discussed the significance of community, the role of wellness practices like fasting and yoga, and the importance of addressing trauma through movement and support.
