Ted Harvey (tharvey50@shaw.ca)  Procedure

This activity has reached its maximum number of participants. You can contact Ted and be put on a wait list. Even better, you could offer to lead this activity again in January!

Location / Time: We will muster at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) in Eckhart Hall using the old entrance off Memorial Blvd at 11:00, which is opening time for the WAG.
Maximum number of participants: 20
Cost: Regular WAG admission is $15 and Ted will also be collecting $3.50 per person to cover the guide fee of $70. Please bring correct change for the guide fee so Ted doesn’t have to make change for everyone.
Description: The guided tour will take approximately one hour. People will then be free to continue browsing within the Qaumajuq gallery and/or at other exhibits within the art gallery.
There are storage lockers available for purses (etc). We have been asked specifically not to wear backpacks.
Lunch: The WAG café is currently open from 11:00 to 4:00. It has a limited menu, can only accommodate about 20 people, and it's OK to bring a bag lunch. WAG staff have suggested three nearby lunch options: Stella’s (Portage & Memorial), Bahn Mi King (Vietnamese – 510 Portage), and Taste of Mediterranean (Greek & Middle Eastern – 244 Kennedy).
If you plan to leave the WAG for lunch and return for more browsing later, please remember to ask for a receipt when you pay your entry fee.
Bring: Your name tag, proof of immunization, and a mask.
