CANADIAN ANARCHIST MOVEMENT-WINNIPEG:

THE WINNIPEG ANARCHIST BOOKFAIR:

It's coming soon, Winnipeg's second annual anarchist bookfair. This time inside, at the Broadway Neighbourhood Community Centre, and not outside at a high of 5 with a wicked wind a'blowin' (ah the sweet memories). Combined this year with the Winnipeg DIY Festival. Here from the Festival website (with a few details to be ironed out) are some of the details.
