Next Presentation in the Lieutenant-Governor’s Evenings at Government House
Series of Free Public Events
Lt.-Gov. Anita R. Neville invites Manitobans to attend the next presentation in 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.
The November event features Dr. Gordon Goldsborough, the head researcher and webmaster of the Manitoba Historical Society. In this presentation, Dr. Goldsborough will examine some of the public systems on which we depend and how those systems have developed over the past 150 years. It is a maxim among architects, engineers, and other designers that their work is best appreciated when it is invisible, when users of the work only notice when their attention is drawn to it. Public infrastructure like roads, electrical networks, and sewage treatment are good examples. We only notice them when they don’t work, yet they are fundamentally important to our daily life.
The event will be held Wednesday, Nov. 13 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.
Those wishing to attend must register in advance with the Office of the Lieutenant Governor by calling 204-945-2753. Guests may reserve a maximum of two seats per registration.
Please note: large bags and backpacks will not be permitted.
Registration is now open. Seating is limited. There is no cost to attend.
Please consider bringing a non-perishable food item for the Lieutenant Governor’s Sharing Hope Initiative.
