SUMMARY:Pride Week: Pride in Politics with MLAs Logan Oxenham and Lisa Naylor
DESCRIPTION:Thank you to the Brandon and District Labour Council for organizing Pride in Politics for Brandon Pride Week 2024! This panel will take place in the Gathering Area in the John E. Robbins Library located on the Brandon University campus. \nThe goal of this event is to reach out to the 2SLGBTQI+ community and affirm that there is a place in politics. During the last year\, right here in Brandon and Manitoba\, the 2SLGBTQI+ community has been at the center of attacks\, including attempts to ban certain books in the Brandon School Division. This ongoing situation has heightened awareness of the political power held as voters\, the importance of the democratic process\, and why getting involved is so important. \nThis event aims to further engage the community\, empowering individuals to assert their political agency and possibly pursue a political future. Two politicians\, Lisa Naylor and Logan Oxenham\, will share their journeys as activists and their paths in politics\, providing insights and inspiration. \nJoin in the sharing of experiences and explore ways to collectively shape a more inclusive and representative political landscape. \nThis event is free with no registration required. \nMore details on Brandon Pride events: https://www.bdnpride.ca/ \n

SUMMARY:Bike to Work Day ride
DESCRIPTION:We’re celebrating Bike to Work Day on Tuesday\, June 11\, 2024. The BU campus is well located for bicycle commuting\, as it’s right on the city’s Share the Road route\, and the new active transportation bridge on 18th Street makes for an easy connection over the railway tracks. \nWhether you’re an everyday rider\, an occasional pedallist\, or just looking to try a ride to to BU for the first time\, you’re invited to join a short small group ride to from downtown to Brandon University. \nShare the word — it’s more fun to ride in a group! \nMeet us at 9 a.m. (ride to start at 9:15 a.m.) at the Westman Immigrant Services building at 10th and Pacific\, and we’ll ride up 10th Street and over to Brandon City Hall\, then down Louise Avenue to the BU Healthy Living Centre. Some riders will then return to WIS. \nThe ride should take well under an hour\, even with socializing.

SUMMARY:Profs in Pubs: Bee U
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Deanna Smid\nBrandon University’s Bee U project is launching its honey with a special event at Chez Angela downtown\, on Thursday\, May 25\, starting at 7 p.m. \nDr. Deanna Smid\, one of the Bee U coordinators\, and a professor of English and Creative Writing at BU\, will deliver a brief talk called “Bella and Jack Bring Back the Bees\, and so can you?!”. Based on a children’s book that was given away free by Honey Nut Cheerios\, Dr. Smid finds themes of fear\, blame\, and hope as drivers of ecological change. As part of her research\, Dr. Smid studies bees as symbols in literature from medieval times through to science fiction. \nBee U will also have a display of beekeeping equipment at Chez Angela\, for members of the public to experience hands-on\, including full beekeeping suits — try one on and get a photo! \nChez Angela is producing a limited run of honey-glazed cronuts for the evening with Bee-U honey. This year’s batch of honey is a light and sweet-tasting honey that features apple blossom and canola notes. Jars of 500 grams are also available at Chez Angela for sale\, at $15 apiece. The low price is partially thanks to Westoba Credit Union\, who sponsored the glassware. \nThis event is part of Brandon University’s occasional “Profs in Pubs” event series\, bringing audience-friendly presentations to a casual environment. \n

SUMMARY:'Prairie Reflections: Where have they gone?' Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Reflections: Where have they gone? is a Thesis Exhibition by Kathy Harrison\, a student in the IshKaabatens Waasa Gaa Inaabateg Department of Visual Art at Brandon University (BU)\, on display at the Glen P. Sutherland Gallery of Art. \nThe exhibition is open from 1–4 p.m. daily from March 22–28. Admission is free. An opening reception is scheduled for Thursday\, March 21 at 7 p.m. \nNow living in Brandon\, Harrison grew up on a farm in Manitoba’s Interlake surrounded by the flora and fauna of the Tall Grass Prairie (TGP). She has watched with concern the marked decrease in the TGP species\, a trend that she addresses in her exhibition. Harrison would like to challenge visitors to consider the benefits of restoring TGP species\, with the understanding that small changes multiplied many times over can create big changes. You don’t have to own an acreage to incorporate TGP plants into your garden\, and pollinators will thank you. \nThe exhibition of paintings and mixed media installation illustrates the decline in the Tall Grass Prairie and offers hope for future restoration. \nSwift Fox\, Whooping Crane and Burrowing Owl \nSwift Fox: I did not have the opportunity to see the housecat sized Swift Fox in the wild while growing up on the Prairies\, as it had not been seen in Canada since the1930’s\, and was designated as extirpated from Canada in the 1970’s. I have included it in this exhibition because the reintroduction of the Swift Fox into Canada is considered to be a great success story. Government and private agencies worked together with conservationists in the United States to reintroduce the Swift Fox into Saskatchewan and Alberta. These are now considered to be small (just over 500 foxes) but stable populations[1]. \nWhooping Crane: Once numbering in the thousands across North America\, by the 1940’s the whooping crane was at risk of extinction. Loss of wetland habitat continues to impact on this species. Saving the Whooping Crane from extinction is another example success in species restoration with co-operation between the United States and Canada. However\, whooping crane pairs have only 1 offspring per year\, and their survival as a species in Canada is far from secure with just over 300.[2] \nBurrowing Owls: Contrary to what their name suggests\, Burrowing Owls do not actually do any burrowing\, but rather take up residence in abandoned burrows created by prairie dogs\, ground squirrels\, foxes and badgers. These tiny owls stand less than 10 inches tall with a 20 inch wing span. Once common on grasslands from Canada to Mexico\, they are now both provincially and nationally endangered. Due to loss of habitat Manitoba has less than ten breeding pairs of Burrowing Owls remaining.

SUMMARY:Understanding Systemic Racism in Policing and the Failed Promise of Body Cameras
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on February 27 in the free slot from 12:40-1:30 p.m. in Clark Hall room 212 to hear Dr. Christopher Schneider’s presentation on Understanding Systemic Racism in Policing and the Failed Promise of Body Cameras.  This timely presentation comes off the heels of the UofM International student who was shot and killed by Police.  https://winnipeg.ctvnews.ca/man-fatally-shot-by-winnipeg-police-was-international-student-lawyer-says-1.6707998 \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the social and historical conditions that contributed to both the foundation and evolution of the structure of modern policing across North America to understand why it is Black and Indigenous persons who continue to remain disproportionally affected by police violence and brutality. Police body-worn cameras have been touted as a major police reform measure and a remedy to reduce police violence\, among other efficacy claims. Talk of equipping police in Manitoba with body cameras is heating up again after police in Winnipeg shot and killed three people at the end of 2023\, including Afolabi Stephen Opaso\, a 19-year-old international university student originally from Nigeria. In response\, the province has announced its willingness to support some of the costs associated with body cameras. The Brandon Police Service expects body cameras for its officers by late summer. The remainder of the presentation will detail the failed promise of body cameras and explain why it is likely a matter of time until police across the province are outfitted with the devices. The talk will conclude with some suggestions for community stakeholders concerning potential body-worn camera programs. \nChristopher J. Schneider\, PhD\, is an award-winning professor of sociology at Brandon University. Dr. Schneider has published seven books and over 100 scholarly papers\, opinion pieces\, reviews\, and essays. His research and publications have focused largely on information technologies and related changes to police work including having  published extensively on police body-worn cameras. A frequent contributor to media\, his work has appeared in more than 625 news segments and reports including the New York Times.
