welcome 

from the president 

30 Years and Counting 

It has been a little over four months since the new board 

of directors of Creative Retirement Manitoba was elected, 

and just three months since I last wrote to you in this 

column. 2012 marks CRM’s 30th Anniversary year. We have 

a proud heritage to celebrate. It is an important milestone, 

and we will be in touch with you in the next months. 

The time since July 2011 has not been without its challenges, but every day the laughter, en- 

Lynne Axworthy ergy and activity emanating from the classrooms, the coffee room, the lounge and the computer 

lab is heartwarming. There is a feeling of optimism and goodwill throughout the building. 

I want to begin by thanking those members who attended the Annual Luncheon on October 19, featuring 

Larry Updike of CBC Radio One’s Up to Speed, and Margo Goodhand, Editor of the Winnipeg Free Press. We are 

indebted to the luncheon committee members: Trish Gibson, Marilyn Lockwood, Anne Jenkins, Winnie 

Warkentin and D’Arcy Mansell. They did what CRM volunteers do best – give of their time and their hearts. So 

many of you have stopped by to say how much you enjoyed the guests of honour, especially the wit and warmth 

of Margo Goodhand. Creative Retirement is especially grateful to our corporate luncheon sponsors who continue 

to lead the way to make the luncheon a financial success. To those who donated auction items and sold wine 

auction tickets, a very special thank you. Overall the luncheon netted $17,500, a feat we could not have achieved 

without everyone’s support and goodwill. 

It seems that the board has met every two weeks since the special meeting in July. At that time, we didn’t even 

know if CRM would survive the fall term. As with the majority of non-profit organizations, there is a constant 

concern about the financial future of our organization. The board is grateful to have received counsel, financial 

support and understanding from our major partners: The Seniors and Healthy Living Secretariat of the 

Provincial Government, The Winnipeg Foundation, The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, The Winnipeg 

School Division #1, and the Manitoba Community Services Council. Our challenge seemed even greater because 

the fall term programs were restricted to four days a week. However, there were 1,657 registrations. A 

number of classes were sold out, and others were so popular that extra sessions were added. This is a remarkable 

feat. We have looked at the rental fees and parking accessibility at our other venues. Because of the parking 

difficulty, we will be moving lecture courses from the National Research Council to the Unitarian Church, 

on Wellington Crescent and Academy Road. There is ample parking, and an inviting room for lectures. 

Another change in the winter program is that the lectures will not be a part of a series to which you must subscribe. 

Instead, because some of you may wish to travel, each lecture will be stand alone. You may take one, two 

or more and if you take four, you’ll get one free. Now, that is a bargain! 

Please save the date of our Open House – Wednesday, January 11, 2012 from 10a.m.to 3p.m. You may register 

for new courses, meet some of the instructors and the board, give us your ideas, have coffee and chat. We 

look forward to seeing you. 

From all of us at Creative Retirement Manitoba, we send our best wishes for the holiday season, and for the 

New Year. G

We would like to have e-mail addresses for 

as many of our members as possible. If 

you have e-mail and have not supplied it 

to us, would you consider doing so? Please note 

that you will still receive The Guide by mail with 

details of all the programs. Everyone receives the 

printed version, so you will still have a paper 

copy to thumb through and enjoy! 

Here is the reason why we would appreciate 

your e-mail address: The new board, when 

elected, promised open communication with our 

members. We want to send out newsletters on a 

regular basis, and e-mail is the most efficient 

way to do it. E-mail is free, and it takes about an 

hour of staff time to set up the newsletter and 

send it on its way to more than 800 members 

who have email. 

A mailed newsletter, by contrast, costs $1.25 

per item by the time the cost of paper and envelope, 

printing, stamp and tax is taken into account 

– a total cost of $750. Plus, it keeps two 

volunteers busy for four hours each to stuff and 

stamp the envelopes to nearly 600 members. 

We realize that not all of you have e-mail. We 

will certainly continue to mail newsletters to 

you, but it would be helpful if those that do have 

e-mail and do not mind giving it to us would do 

so. Send an e-mail to info@crm.mb.ca. 

We promise you will not be inundated with emails, 

just the newsletter and a monthly update 

to keep you informed of what is going on at 

CRM. We will not share your e-mail address with 

any other organization. 

Also, you will continue to receive The Guide, 

detailing all the programs, by regular mail. 

Thank you in advance. We hope you continue 

to enjoy the programming offered by Creative 

Retirement Manitoba. G

“Get Me Rewrite, Sweetheart!” 

Winnipeg Free Press editor delights CRM luncheon audience 

Margo Goodhand, editor of the Winnipeg 

Free Press, and Larry Updike, host of CBC 

Radio One’s Up to Speed were the guests 

of honour at Creative Retirement Manitoba’s annual 

luncheon, October 19, at the CanadInn 

Polo Park. 

In his opening remarks to more than 300 

guests and supporters, master of ceremonies 

Larry Updike welcomed the guests with the inspiring 

story of his own commitment to lifelong 

learning, describing how he went back to university, 

while working full time in radio and raising 

a family. Returning to the University of Winnipeg, 

Larry completed a Bachelor of Theology degree 

in 1986 and a Bachelor of Philosophy degree. 

Goodhand proved to be a wonderful keynote 

speaker with a warm and humourous presence 

and an uplifting message. She spoke to the past 

and future of the newspaper business and the 

necessity of embracing change both as an individual 

and as an editor. Goodhand noted that 

there have been few changes in her business 

since its inception in the mid 1800s, but that the 

technological revolution has changed, and will 

continue to change, the face of newspapers 

worldwide. 

Far from sounding the death knell of the 

newspaper industry, Goodhand predicts that 

modern technology will force her business to expand, 

improve and embrace the new ways that 

readers seek the news. The Winnipeg Free Press 

has already begun to modernize its approach to 

delivering the news by expanding its online offerings, 

adding video footage to accompany the 

traditional text and photos as well as blogging 

and tweeting. These latter two methods of communication 

are evidence of the intention of the 

newspaper to engage its readers in a more interactive 

way. 

Gone are the days of reader input being relegated 

to the Letters to the Editor section of the 

paper; readers are now encouraged to express 

their opinions in a variety of modern ways. In 

fact, the Free Press is hoping to train some of its 

readers to provide news through its innovative 

Winnipeg Free Press News Café. The café, a 

place designed for readers to meet and mingle 

with journalists, beat reporters, columnists and 

editors, will soon offer free, open-to-the-public 

classes on journalism. 

Goodhand stressed that this acceptance of 

change and useage of new technology and ideas 

is as vital to keeping the newspaper young and 

relevant as it is to maintaining a youthful vigour 

and connection to the modern world in our own 

personal lives. G

Sometimes labeled the “hermit kingdom,” the Democratic People’s

Agricultural Migrant Workers in Canada 3878 

10:00 – 12:00 noon 

February 29 1 Wednesday 

Canada, a land with open arms and inclusive multicultural policies, 

has a secret which may shed new light on its reputation. 

Armondo Perla, Curator at the Canada Museum for Human 

Rights will introduce you to the plight of migrant workers in 

Canada. Canada has long relied on migrant workers to support 

a variety of crucial economic sectors. Yet despite these workers’ 

centrality to the economy – and Canada’s commitment to 

a multicultural, diverse immigrant nation – successive governments 

have not welcomed these labourers as members of the 

national community. To this day, the majority of migrant workers 

have never had the chance to immigrate despite sometimes 

decades of work experience in Canada, where they have lived 

away from their own families. Such workers have typically been 

employed in more dangerous and lower-paid jobs than their settler 

counterparts.

Did the Six Nations (Haudenosaunee) 

Shape the American Constitution? 2811 

10:30 – 12:00 noon 

March 6 1 Tuesday 

According to some scholarly interpretations, the Six Nations Iroquois 

(also known as the Haudenosaunee or the Peoples of the 

Longhouse) were an inspiration for the American founding fathers 

who created the Constitution for the United States in the 

late 1780s. In their view, the Great League of the Iroquois resembles 

the American Constitution. For example, both institutions 

created checks and balances to ensure that no faction 

dominated. University og Winnipeg history professor Mark 

Meuwese will present arguments and evidence from scholars on 

both sides of the issue, those who believe the Iroquois to have 

had such an influence and those who deny this connection.

Basic Introduction to the Enneagram 3668 

1:00 – 2:30 p.m. 

January 18 – February 1 3 Wednesdays 

The Enneagram is an ancient symbol of spiritual transformation. 

It is a map of the nine energies, positive and negative 

(“Ennea” = Greek for “nine”) that are at work in the universe. 

It can be applied to any and all processes. When applied at the 

level of human personality, it is usually introduced through a 

typology of nine types. At this level, our spiritual work is to 

change our “negatives” (compulsions or conditioned energy 

patterns) into “positive” (or free) choices in life. We will describe 

these patterns and indicate some practical ways to do 

this kind of work, leading to inner freedom through self-knowledge 

and self-acceptance. This program will be presented by 

David Walsh, a spiritual director and seasoned teacher and 

trainer of the Enneagram.
