She would also like to send a heartfelt thank you to her professors and peers of the IshKaabatensWaasa Gaa Inaabateg Department of Visual Art at Brandon University for the knowledge and assistance gained throughout her university experience. \nThe exhibition will be on display April 10-11 and 14-18\, 2026. The gallery hours are: 2:00-6:00 pm. Admission is free. The Glen P. Sutherland Gallery of Art is located at 2021 Victoria Ave\, Brandon\, MB.

SUMMARY:Citizen-soldiers in a changing world: A conversation with your Army Reserve Brigade Commander
DESCRIPTION:Colonel Evelyn Kotzer\, Commander of 38 Canadian Brigade Group\nCanada faces an uncertain future in a rapidly changing world. Great power rivalry is intensifying\, while the once-vaunted rules-based international order continues to erode in the face of ruptures. With our security and interests under increasing threat\, and growing doubts that some of our traditional allies will always act in our best interests\, Canada’s own strength may soon be tested. \nAnswering this call has\, and continues to\, fall in no small part to the Army Reserve. These citizen-soldiers put aside civilian careers to serve when the nation calls\, from the militias of pre-Confederation to today’s hardening of NATO’s eastern flank. \nJoin us for a fireside discussion with Colonel Evelyn Kotzer\, Commander of 38 Canadian Brigade Group and its part-time citizen soldiers of Saskatchewan\, Manitoba\, and Northwestern Ontario\, on how the Army Reserve is preparing to meet these challenges. \nRefreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:BU Queer Lunch and Learn: Unsettling Trans Rights with Dr. Leon Laidlaw
DESCRIPTION:BU Queer is hosting our next Lunch and Learn on February 3\, 2026 at 12:40pm at the Gathering Space in the John E. Robbins Library. \nThe event will feature guest speaker Dr. Leon Laidlaw with his talk\, Unsettling Trans Rights: Gender as a Basis of Indigenous Solidarity. This talk explores how settler-Indigenous solidarity can be pursued on the basis of gender. This talk begins by contextualizing the roots of gender oppression and gendered colonialism in the Western gender binary and reflects on the different pathways that Two-Spirit and trans resistance movements may take. This talk concludes with a conversation about decolonizing trans rights to better align with Indigenous struggles for sovereignty and self-determination. \nDr. Leon Laidlaw (he/they) is an assistant professor in Sociology and Gender and Women’s Studies at Brandon University. They are a white settler trans scholar who does intersectional and decolonizing work on the topics of gender\, rights\, and justice.

SUMMARY:The Ins and Outs of Bail Reform: Public panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:With bail reform dominating headlines and political debates across the country\, you’ll be the judge as Brandon University hosts a public panel discussion to unpack the facts\, myths and implications behind Canada’s evolving bail system. \nUnder the heading “The Ins and Outs of Bail Reform\,” the panel will take a “Fact v. Fiction” approach to examine how the case of bail reform is faring in the court of public opinion. \nFeaturing testimony from local lawyers\, political scientists\, and a sociologist\, the panel discussion will provide a deeper understanding of Canada’s bail system\, including newly proposed federal legislation and its potential effects on communities\, courts\, and corrections. \nThe event will take place Wednesday\, November 26 from 6:00–7:30 p.m. in the Gathering Space on the main floor of the John E. Robbins Library at Brandon University. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served. \nThe panel will bring together Dr. Christopher Schneider\, Professor of Sociology at BU with local defence lawyer Jennifer Janssens\, from Wach Law\, and Crown attorney Rich Lonstrup. It will be moderated by Dr. Kelly Saunders\, Chair of Political Science at BU\, and Dr. Rick Baker\, Assistant Professor of Political Science. \nTheir dialogue will explain the basics of bail\, consider what the federal government’s proposed Bail and Sentencing Reform Act could mean in practice\, and explore how issues like repeat offences\, public safety\, and fairness intersect in the justice system\, while cutting through the political spin and misinformation that can interfere with understanding. \n“Bail reform has become a lightning rod issue\, but much of the public conversation mixes legal facts with political emotion\,” said co-moderator Dr. Saunders. “I can’t wait to hear from our local panellists who can bring clarity to this issue — to separate fact from fiction and provide space for thoughtful\, informed discussion.” \nThe event is being organized in partnership with BU’s Political Science Club and Legal Studies Association.
