What is Paint Night?
Paint Night has become very popular in the last couple of years, but if you’ve never been to paint night before, you may find yourself wondering what it is! Paint night is a creative way to hang out with your friends and create a masterpiece!
You Learn to Paint
At paint night, you learn to paint. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a pro painter, there will be an instructor to guide you the whole time! Everyone in the class is working toward creating their own version of the same painting. The teacher will lead you through your painting step-by-step.
It’s Therapeutic
Painting is really good for you! Paint night is great for people who love to try new things, meet new people, and explore new sides to themselves.

Have you ever thought about how the items that you see in a store arrived on the shelf?
Everyday, goods and materials are produced, sold, moved and stored in order to get them from the manufacturer to the customer. This network of people and businesses is called a supply chain. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of supply chains and the employees who work in them.
Are you interested in working in this important field?
Some examples of careers in the supply chain sector include:
- Procurement Clerk
- Purchasing Agent
- Purchasing Clerk
- Inventory Clerk
- Merchandise Control Clerk
- Shipper and Receiver
- Transportation Route Scheduler
- Export/Import Clerk
- Warehouse Supervisor/Manager
- Retail / Wholesale Buyer
Supply Chain Canada (Manitoba), Red River College Language Training Centre and Immigration Partnership Winnipeg are inviting newcomers, immigrants and refugees with experience or interest in the supply chain sector to share their experiences and suggestions to help develop supports for newcomers and employers.
When: Saturday, October 16th, from 1:00pm-3:00pm

If you walk or drive around town this Saturday and Sunday, you might notice that there are many items on the curb in front of people’s houses and apartments. That’s because this weekend is a Giveaway Weekend in Winnipeg. It’s a great time to get rid of some household items that you no longer use or to browse the curbs for some gently used finds.
Tips if you are giving away items:
- Place unwanted household items at the curb on your front street.
- Label each item with a FREE sticker or sign.
- Store items out of sight that you do not want to give away.
- Remove leftover items from the curb by dusk on Sunday.
- Do not put out any items that may be infected with bedbugs.
Tips if you are looking for items:
- Take only the items at the curb marked “FREE.”
- Check all items closely to ensure they are safe and in good condition before you put them in your vehicle or bring them into your home.
- Don’t walk or drive on private lawns or gardens.
