Seven countries in three daysBy Judianne JaymeWINNIPEG - Folklorama is the celebration of nations. It provides us the unique ability to travel within a two-week time frame, all in convenient venues within one great city! We can see beautiful costumes, learn some history, and sample favourites from that country. This year, I decided to take on a few pavilions for the first week of Folklorama. The second week is my turn to volunteer with the Pearl of the Orient Philippine Pavilion at 364 Dufferin Avenue.Nayong Pilipino PavilionI always think of how lucky we are, as a community, to be given two weeks to share our culture with Winnipeg! My highlight is definitely the hospitality of the volunteers. My family and I enjoyed the cultural dances from Kayumanggi Philippines Performing Arts.South SudanBeing a newly established country, this was my first time attending this pavilion. If I could summarize my experience in one word, it would be 'passion.' The emcee, in particular, was knowledgeable and proud of his country's history and the performances they were presenting.
283 Portage Avenue
The Sterling Window Lofts are located at 283 Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. The eight levels above the first floor commercial space of the century-old Sterling Building were once offices and have now been beautifully transformed into a residential complex geared towards young professionals.
The building is now host to 64 suites which are a combination of studio and one bedroom units. These "Micro-Apartments" which are the fastest growing trend in urban centers around the world, though compact, are filled with light from the large windows.
