Hi @SylviaEarle. My daughter, Jedd ([email protected]), Grade 12 student is enrolled to study Marine Biology in the fall. Jedd like to have a 10 mins Zoom chat with you on preparing for the field. She'd be delighted if you could confirm availability for Mon or Tue. Thanks
These @Sportsnet broadcasters are shameless, kowtowing to @cmcdavid97 and @EdmontonOilers as if @NHLJets are not a Canadian team too! 😆
What film are you most excited to see either tomorrow or on Sunday from this list of exciting movies? #FilmTwitter #Film #Winnipeg #Manitoba

Revolution; Hope; Emancipation; And a granite quarry. Watch the trailer to the tender yet fierce "Le Loup D'or de Balole," and then come join us on Sunday, Sep 28th at its exclusive screening in this year's festival. youtube.com/watch?v=tluC58U4… #FilmTwitter #Africa

Hey Ifi, Trevor, @CBCNowOrNever. I love your show. Wondering if either of you would be available to moderate or MC a session at the @amfimca.

The sound of the Kora is so beautiful when a skillful player plucks it’s strings. Almost every weekend, for six years when I live in Senegal, I’d go listen to men play. Come watch as the female in this film challenges the status quo. #gender #Manitoba #filmfestival @umanitoba
A veiled Muslim girl dreams of being a Kora player. "Un air de Kora," a wonderful film by acclaimed director Angele Diabang will be screening in this year's festival. Purchase tickets today: am-fm.ca/buy-tickets/ #Manitoba #filmfestival @WFGCinematheque @GasStationArts

I’ve enjoyed watching this 21-y old up and coming director develop. Tope Babalola has had fun with young actors. Take your children to see this one. They will not only be inspired but might tickle their creative side. @CBCManitoba @SPRINGSwinnipeg @AFManitoba @mbartscouncil
"Popular Vote," a film by Tope Babalola that tells an inspiring story of childhood struggle, and new beginnings is screening exclusively at this year's AMFM. Buy tickets here: am-fm.ca/buy-tickets/ #Film #Manitoba #filmfestival @umanitoba @WFGCinematheque @GasStationArts

A simple but interesting story woven by @Alas_ItsTony. Corruption, intrigue and a real miracle. Check out this #kenyan film at @amfimca. #Manitoba #film.
A fraudulent Kenyan pastor accidentally performs a real miracle in "Tithes and Offerings," a film by @Alas_ItsTony. It screens exclusively this year at the African Movie Festival in Manitoba. Buy tickets here: am-fm.ca/buy-tickets/ #filmfestival @WFGCinematheque #manitoba

Josza weaves an incredible story that unravels only at the end. This is full of suspense. @WFGCinematheque @cityofwinnipeg #Winnipeg #Manitoba #film

Simply incredible!
Sometimes on the job, I get to meet incredible people. Today, I met perhaps Nigeria's oldest surviving soldier, 104 year-old, RTD Private Amuda Aluko at the Army Day Celebrations. He is almost as old as the Amalgamation of the the protectorates that became Nigeria.
Will be taking #African #cinema with @NadiaKidwai of @CBCManitoba Manitoba this morning from 8am. Tune in! – at Winnipeg, Manitoba
