The Manitoba Genealogical Society (MGS) will be participating again this year in this arts, culture and heritage fair along with many other community organizations, and it is called Manitoba Day Celebration.
The celebration will be held at Alloway Hall at the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg on Saturday May 9th from 11am to 5 pm.
The celebration includes free admission to the Museum Galleries, Science Gallery and Planetarium, special educational programming throughout the day, and a new temporary exhibit featuring fur trade materials from the Hudson Bay Co. and Archaeology collections Trade: Materials and Ideas in Transition. Birthday cake (Manitoba’s 145th) and other refreshments will be served later in the day.
Why not volunteer for an hour and then take advantage of the free admission?
They need volunteers to staff their table - two volunteers for each hour (12 people could do 1 hour each). If you are available, please contact Bill Curtis (Outreach Chair) at billcurtiswpg@hotmail.com.
This is a great opportunity for MGS to inform the general public about their organization.
