Abstract
This paper reports that 8.4 per cent of the total 661,730 population of Winnipeg is aboriginal, which is the second highest percentage of the 13 major Canadian cities. The author points out that the young age of the majority of the aboriginals in Winnipeg is very important because it can have a major impact on the need for more educational and welfare services. The paper stresses that the effects of poverty and housing issues may be a major cause of poor health among aboriginal people in Winnipeg. The author relates that the demographic profiles seem to indicate that social and economic disadvantages facing aboriginal people in Winnipeg have been limiting their educational achievements. The paper includes several quotations.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The differences in incomes between aboriginal people and non-aboriginal people in Winnipeg can be partially explained by differences in employment and unemployment rates. The total employment rate for Winnipeg in 2001 was 64.8 per cent and the unemployment rate was 5.6 per cent. The employment rate for aboriginals in Winnipeg is only 55.1 per cent and the unemployment rate is 14.3 per cent. This would seem to indicate that the higher unemployment rate in the aboriginal population of Winnipeg is a major factor in the poverty of that population."

From the Paper
"In May 1919, the Trades and Labour Council of Winnipeg called a general strike in support of the metal and building trades in that city, who were on strike over the issues of higher wages, and the right to bargain collectively. The opposing positions on the Winnipeg General Strike were, in 1919, couched in stark black and white (perhaps blue and red provide a better analogy) rhetoric. The Winnipeg General Strike represented, for both its opponents and proponents, a clash of absolutes. The difference in the two conceptions lay in the definition of the absolutes. For the societal elite in Canada, the Winnipeg General Strike represented a clash between "anarchy and Red revolt," on the one hand, and "order and decency," on the other hand. Opposing this view, working ... "

Abstract
The paper reveals that aboriginal peoples in the city in Canada live under terrible conditions. The paper focuses on the aboriginal people in Winnipeg and explains their condition with a discussion of stereotypes. The paper also looks at the sociological perspective of conflict theory that best explains the problems of aboriginal people. The paper concludes that they can only improve their own conditions if they have power.
From the Paper
"Aboriginal peoples who live in the city in Canada live under the worst conditions. Compared with other Canadians, they have very low social and economic status. They also have very little education. However, all Aboriginal peoples are not the same. Depending on the city, they can be very different from Aboriginal groups in other cities. This paper is concerned with Aboriginal people in Winnipeg. For one thing, these people have a higher level of education, but the level of poverty also is still high. Even when Aboriginal people in the city should be in a good position, they are not. One very important explanation for the condition of Aboriginal people in Winnipeg is stereotypes. The sociological perspective that best explains the problems of Aboriginal people in Winnipeg and the rest of Canada is conflict theory."

Abstract
This paper considers the state of theatre in Canada and Winnipeg prior to the creation of the Manitoba Theatre Centre in 1958, looking at the goals of the Massey Commission in promoting the development of a Canadian culture. It also looks at the intentions of Theatre 77 and the Winnipeg Little Theatre in their merger to become the Manitoba Theatre Centre. The main body of the analysis is concerned with the mandate of the Manitoba Theatre Centre. Finally, consideration is also given to an additional fourth goal introduced later in the Centre's history that was concerned with encouraging the production of Canadian plays.

From the Paper
"Canadian theatre, in the 1950s, consisted mostly of amateur societies, with professional theatre only really finding a niche in Toronto. The Massey Commission Report of 1951 was concerned with the state of Canadian culture and its tendency to import art from other cultural centres, such as New York and London. The Massey Commission's Report outlined steps to create a government body that would grant funds to art programmes to promote a national culture. Such a concern had been similarly expressed by other major figures in Canadian theatre, some of whom had suggested that if the state of the theatre were to improve, it would require a national theatre that would tour the country with several permanent provincial theatre buildings to house professional productions (Massey 55).
