  1. "[Lewis Block] features a 25-foot public art installation of Joseph Lewis in a red canoe - dubbed The Steersman. The building is named after Lewis, a “highly accomplished” canoe man with the Hudson’s Bay company in the early 1800s.

    Lewis is believed to have lived as a free Black man decades before slavery was abolished."

  2. I dropped by the Edmonton Chinatown Multi-Cultural Centre for the first day of the Togather Chinatown Art Fair. The two-day event, scheduled to coincide with the Lunar New Year, features community-minded, BIPOC and marginalized artists, community organizations, as well as emerging artists and micro-businesses. @togatherchinatown
