2026 Kickoff for the Lieutenant-Governor’s Evenings at Government House
Series of Free Public Events
Lt.-Gov. Anita R. Neville invites Manitobans to attend the first presentation in 2026 of a series of free public events designed to welcome Manitobans into Government House and showcase outstanding and inspiring Manitobans who, through words and deeds, continually work to make the province better for all.
SIDELINED: The Colour of the Game is a compelling 55-minute documentary that examines the systemic barriers faced by First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Black, Racialized, and Religious Minority participants within Canada’s sport system. The film weaves together powerful personal narratives from athletes, coaches, and sport leaders with expert insights to expose how racism and exclusion operate across amateur, competitive, and professional sport. Through lived experience and research-informed analysis, SIDELINED highlights the far-reaching impacts of discrimination on participation, well-being, and belonging.
Following the screening there will be a panel discussion with individuals involved with the film.
The event will be held on Tuesday, February 10, 2026 at Government House. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Program begins at 7 p.m. Parking is available on both sides of the Government House driveway – light refreshments to follow.
