• Global Citizens: Manitobans Working Together for a Better World Exhibit

  Date: March 9th 2010 – April 5th 2010

  Location: University of Winnipeg Library

  The University of Winnipeg Global College is currently hosting MCIC’s Global Citizens: Manitobans Working Together for a Better World exhibit. The exhibit is on display in the Hamilton Galleria, located on the 4th floor mezzanine level of The University of Winnipeg Library, from March 9 until April 5, 2010.

  Global Citizens: Manitobans Working Together for a Better World celebrates extraordinary Manitobans who are making a difference overseas and explores Manitoba’s role in the global community. It features photographs and stories from projects that are saving and improving lives in the developing world. Since 2004, 27,000 lives have been saved by malaria prevention mosquito nets in Tanzania. In Haiti, thousands are treated and cured each year for Tuberculosis and other serious diseases at Grace Children’s Hospital. Much of this is due to the work of extraordinary Manitobans.

  The exhibit has been touring the province since the Spring of 2009, after it was launched by former Premier Gary Doer at the Manitoba Legislature. It has been displayed at several locations in Winnipeg, as well as in Steinbach, Gimli and The Pas.

  The exhibit is available for viewing during library hours.
