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: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.

She has watched with concern the marked decrease in the TGP species\, a trend that she addresses in her exhibition.

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.
