Fun on the Farm in Chilliwack This Spring

The roots of Greendale Acres were planted in 1999 when John and Diane Bruinsma teamed up with Lloyd and Wendy Taekema. They began transforming the old Bruinsma dairy farm into Canada’s first corn maze as part of an effort to connect the community with agriculture. Now, the farm is operated by John and Diane’s three daughters along with their husbands and nine small children who all share in the labour of love and the common goal of reconnecting people with nature and agriculture.

Art & Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

  • Date: Friday March 8, 2024 from 12:00pm to 4:00pm
  • Location: Surrey Art Gallery (13750 88 Ave, Surrey)
  • Tickets: Free!

Gender inequities in online spaces like Wikipedia contribute to a bias in content and language and erasure of knowledge and histories of women artists and communities. Surrey Art Gallery in partnership with Rungh Magazine would like to address the significant gender gap on Wikipedia and invite people of all gender identities and expressions to make an impact and support gender equality and the arts.

Research, develop, and deepen content about underrepresented women, Black, Indigenous, and people of colour and non-binary artists on one of the world’s most popular sites. Participants will learn how to research, create a user account, publish Wikipedia pages, and edit as well as maintain entries.

You are welcome to come with ideas for entries that need updating or creating. Pre-researched subjects from the Gallery’s permanent collection will also be available for entry. No prior knowledge or practice of editing Wikipedia is required. However, to create new entries, participants must be registered Wikipedia users and have made ten previous edits on existing pages.

Rungh Magazine

Rungh is a Canadian multidisciplinary space for creative explorations, featuring work by Indigenous, Black, and people of colour artists. Consisting of a magazine, programming, archive, advocacy and more, Rungh is committed to Canada-wide conversations by and about people of colour. Rungh questions and challenges ideas about diversity in the Canadian cultural landscape.
