Opening 2009
New face, same heart!<br />
The north end of the addition, with the new<br />
concert h<strong>all</strong>, links <strong>to</strong> the original building . . .<br />
. . . where the balcony is taking shape.<br />
The south end of the addition . . . . . . features the stage<br />
Energy-efficient windows will let in lots of light . . .<br />
It may not look like it yet, but the new WECC will be rocking with<br />
the community come spring. Here’s a look behind the scenes as<br />
<strong>our</strong> new digs take shape.<br />
. . . and retain the character of the original building.<br />
We were delighted when The North <strong>West</strong> Company (NWC)<br />
stepped forward <strong>to</strong> support the WECC’s redevelopment.<br />
The support of NWC will help us create a community centre<br />
that provides expanded cultural programming and opportunities<br />
for youth, including Aboriginal youth, along with much<br />
improved facilities for emerging Canadian artists and<br />
Winnipeg arts patrons.<br />
NWC has long been a fixture in the area, through its Giant Tiger<br />
s<strong>to</strong>re just down Ellice Avenue from the WECC. The company is<br />
known not only as a leader in community retailing, but as one<br />
of the largest private sec<strong>to</strong>r employers of Aboriginal peoples<br />
in Canada. Thank you NWC for y<strong>our</strong> commitment <strong>to</strong> <strong>our</strong><br />
neighb<strong>our</strong>hood!<br />
A Peak performance c<strong>our</strong>tesy of Dux<strong>to</strong>n<br />
<strong>Thanks</strong> <strong>to</strong> assistance from Dux<strong>to</strong>n Windows, the new WECC<br />
will continue <strong>to</strong> sport the peaked windows that <strong>have</strong> graced<br />
the building since its days as a church.<br />
With the help of Dux<strong>to</strong>n, we’re able <strong>to</strong> replace these unique<br />
windows with high performance, energy efficient windows.<br />
Not only will they be a lasting tribute <strong>to</strong> the building’s his<strong>to</strong>ry,<br />
they’ll be “green” <strong>to</strong>o!<br />
<strong>Thanks</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>all</strong> <strong>those</strong> <strong>who</strong> <strong>have</strong> <strong>supported</strong> <strong>our</strong> redevelopment plans as of November 30, 2008<br />

Start the New Year with The Duhks<br />
It’s hard <strong>to</strong> believe that 2008 is almost over! But it’s probably not<br />
hard <strong>to</strong> believe that <strong>our</strong> new building won’t be opening until the<br />
spring (buildings <strong>have</strong> a way of taking longer than planned, don’t<br />
they?!), and so we will continue <strong>to</strong> present both concerts and<br />
community programs in other venues for a while.<br />
To kick off 2009 we’re pleased <strong>to</strong> be working with <strong>our</strong> friends at<br />
the Winnipeg Folk Festival <strong>to</strong> bring home<strong>to</strong>wn heroes The Duhks <strong>to</strong><br />
Winnipeg <strong>to</strong> celebrate the release of their new album, Fast Paced<br />
World, on January 9 & 10 at the Park Theatre.<br />
Building Community<br />
The WECC has continued <strong>to</strong> present concerts and workshops<br />
free of charge for local community groups and schools in<br />
the west central neighb<strong>our</strong>hood. In Oc<strong>to</strong>ber, over 20 youth<br />
participated in an African Drumming workshop with Coffieman.<br />
This fun afternoon ended in a sm<strong>all</strong> dance party, as Coffieman<br />
demonstrated some of the more difficult rhythms! In December<br />
over 300 students from Sister MacNamara School trudged<br />
through the snow <strong>to</strong> attend a Fubuki Daiko Concert. The walk<br />
in the cold was well worth it, as these kids were treated <strong>to</strong> a 50<br />
minute Taiko Drum performance that included lessons about the<br />
his<strong>to</strong>ry of the drums, and introduced them <strong>to</strong> a fun ‘prankster’<br />
character from Japanese folklore. Both of these events were a lot<br />
of fun for the participants, and the WECC is looking forward <strong>to</strong><br />
more programming once we’ve moved in<strong>to</strong> <strong>our</strong> new home!<br />
