The definition of Women’s Work has evolved over time. Once, it defined any work historically undertaken by women, especially domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. As we enter a new decade of the 21st-century and gender roles continue to shift and grow, we understand that women’s work is a much more complex, all-encompassing term that defines all work that women do, both paid and unpaid.

By weaving together a collection of Niagara Falls stories, this exhibition seeks to celebrate the diversity of women’s roles within the labour force. It highlights not only the success of women in traditional roles, like teaching and nursing, but also showcases the strong contributions carved out by female leaders in our community as artists, broadcasters, activists, historians, managers, and politicians.

Extended until January 8, 2023

Join us over a series of six Thursday nights this summer at the Niagara Falls History Museum. Artist Wayne Moore will guide community participants to work collectively to create a powerful representation of empowerment. When we as a community come together, the possibilities are endless. Art improves critical thinking, encourages innovation, and strengthens the connection within community.

The completed piece, Lend a Hand, will be revealed at this year's Niagara Falls Night of Art on September 22^nd 2022.

Drama: Humphrey Bogart’s breakthrough as a tough guy screen persona matches Ida Lupino’s emotionally strong performance. With Joan Leslie, Arthur Kennedy.

In honor of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Rick Hill will host a conversation, looking at the recent visit of Pope Francis to issue formal apologies for the harm done at Catholic-run residential schools, and how this has become an important step in the personal and collective recovery and sense of connection to an Indigenous place.

The residential school survivors and their descendants, the victims of the 60's Scoop and children who grew up away from their home community, are trying to rebuild their Indigenous identity and sense of self. Colonization has damaged Indigenous identity, connection to place and cultural continuity. Yet, Indigenous resilience and strength is shining through and we will examine the current social cultural and educational movements to bring back what was nearly lost.
