The second Monday in March is the annual celebration of Commonwealth Day. And every year, the Province marks the day with an event hosted at Government House.
On Tuesday March 15, members of the Down Under Club of Winnipeg (DUCW) and the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) gathered at Government House to celebrate Commonwealth Day. As president of the Manitoba Branch of the RCS, Murray Burt addressed the gathering at the evening’s event, which was hosted by the Lieutenant http://onhealthy.net/product-category/allergy/ Governor of Manitoba Janice Filmon.

Australia Day and Waitangi Day
We look forward to you joining us this Saturday, February 6, for our Australia Day and Waitangi Day event. Everything gets underway at 6:00 pm at the Scandinavian Cultural Centre, 764 Erin.
It is a potluck event, so we ask that you:
- prepare a dish using kiwi fruit to enter into the Bake Off Contest, and/or
- bring a meat dish, salad, veggie dish, or dessert (unless the kiwi fruit dish you bring is a dessert).
Please bring enough for yourselves and a bit extra, just in case.
It’s going to be a great night, with a fun trivia quiz on both countries, and the bar will be open.
See you there and then.
Celebrating Australia Day
If you would like to celebrate Australia Day with a distinctly Aussie flavour, then consider dropping into Miss Browns Hot Pressed Sandwich & Coffee Co. in Winnipeg between 7:30 am and 3:00 pm on Tuesday January 26. Perhaps a coffee before work, a mid-morning break, lunch, or just to say hi.
Located at 288 William St downtown (south-east of Red River College, and south-west of City Hall), owners Jenn (Cdn) and Steve (Aus) are planning additional Australian options to complement their already amazing menu for anyone who wants to drop in and say g’day.
Famous for their breakfast, Stumptown coffee, house-smoked meats, and fresh cooked local foods, it’s one of few places in town that actually know what you want when you ask for a long black or a flat white.
Be sure to tell them you are a member – or friend – of the DUCW so they know we are spreading the word about them and their Aussie-inspired business thriving here in Winnipeg.
By the way, we will be organising a Sunday Brunch there in the near future, so stay tuned for that.
Cheers! And happy Australia Day!
