Staying on Board: Non-profit housing provider board capacity in a changing context
Cooper, Sarah; Zell, Sarah
As their funding and operating agreements with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation expire, non-profit housing providers look to their boards of directors for direction. Boards must adapt to a wholly new context in order to continue to offer low-cost housing: less predictable revenue, new regulations, a new relationship with a different part of the provincial government, and new opportunities to use the equity in their properties. At the same time, some of the previous context remains: aging buildings, low reserve funds, and sometimes, board makeup that has not changed in decades. Interviews with housing providers, policymakers, and others involved in low-cost housing provision in Manitoba show that while many boards are ready and willing to transition into their new context, others are not, and may require additional supports if they are to continue to offer housing into the future.

From Controversy to Celebration: How the 1995 Relocation of Marcien Lemay's Riel from the Manitoba Legislature to Saint Boniface Impacted Its Public Reception
Sickert, Sophie J.
In 1970, when the Manitoba government commissioned a statue of Louis Riel, one of Canada’s most significant (and most contentious) historical figures, the public expected a certain level of controversy. Commemorating an Indigenous francophone leader who was executed in 1885 for rebelling against the Canadian government was bound to elicit a certain level of resistance. Few, however, anticipated that the memorial would remain a topic of intense debate for the next 25 years. Yet, after 1995 when the statue was moved approximately 2.5 km from the Manitoba legislative grounds to the neighbourhood of Saint Boniface, the controversy all but disappeared. The question therefore arises: Why was the statue seen as objectionable in its first location, but as a successful commemorative project in its second? I argue that the statue’s relocation effectively changed how it was perceived by the public. This was achieved through a combination of changes to the statue’s environment, such as primary audience, physical surroundings and context markers, and an evolution of how Riel was remembered over time.
