Community Conversations
Open gatherings in early 2026 for artists, makers, knowledge keepers, and community members across Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
imagiNorthern invited artists, creatives, makers, storytellers, food producers, knowledge keepers, and community members living across Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan to two open Community Conversations in early 2026.
These gatherings were about listening and shared learning — how we make decisions together, and how imagiNorthern can grow in a way that reflects Northern realities. Indigenous leadership, lived experience, and worldview sit at the heart of that work.
Sessions

- Community Conversation 2 — Monday, February 2, 2026, 4:30–6:30 pm
In-person satellite sites included Churchill Creative Collective, Mall of the Arts (Thompson), Flin Flon Arts Council, and White Feather Cree-ations (The Pas), with support from Creative Manitoba and the Northern Arts and Food Project.
