CHVN

It's the second week of Folkorama, and the CHVN Cruiser continues its global exploration and visitation of different cultures.

The Cruiser was at the Polish Pavilion and the Brazilian Pavilion on Wednesday evening at the RBC Convention Centre, 375 York Avenue.

The Polish Pavilion had various dances and costumes from different regions in Poland. The Pavilion taught the audience the deep and rich history behind the patterns of the costumes and their symbolism.

There was also a traditional singing performance in Polish.

The Winnipeg Sea Bears wrapped up the regular season and now their owner is thanking fans for an incredible season.

"As another thrilling season comes to a close, I want to extend my deepest thanks for making it one we’ll never forget. Your passion, energy and unwavering support have been the heartbeat of our team from day one, and this year, you helped us make history once again," David Asper said in an email release.

Revelation 3:14

“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.

Air Canada says it will begin a gradual suspension of flights to allow an orderly shutdown as it faces a potential work stoppage by its flight attendants on Saturday.

An interactive art installation is helping families across the city heal from grief.

Inspired by Itaru Sasaki's 2010 Kaze no Denwa (“Telephone of the Wind”), this art installation offers a judgment-free place to grieve.

"This space was born out of my grief and created as a place to pause, to remember, and to connect in whatever way your heart calls you to," said Gillian Crawford in a post on Facebook. "Whether you speak to someone you’ve lost, write down words left unsaid, or sit quietly in reflection, your presence becomes part of the piece.
