Encouraging Creative Activism and Positive Change
Using performing arts as our medium, we allow audiences to imagine, empathize, and laugh, all while gaining a better understanding of environmental issues and their root causes. Inspiring families, kids and adults alike to be gentler on our planet, encouraging creative activism and positive change.
THEATRE THAT INSPIRES
Workshops that Educate
Since 1991, Green Kids has produced professional theatre for families and young audiences, featuring a host of Winnipeg’s brightest performing artists and craftspeople.
Land Acknowledgment
We are on Treaty 1 land, the home of Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, Long Plains First Nation, Peguis First Nation, Roseau River Anishinaabe First Nation, Sagkeeng First Nation, Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation, Swan Lake First Nation and the birthplace of the Red River Métis.
We acknowledge that our drinking water in the City of Winnipeg is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, a community who from 1997 until just months ago lived under a boil water advisory, while Winnipeggers used this resource from their land with little thanks and no reciprocity.
Green Kids is working to educate and inspire future generations of environmentalists, while taking our cues from Indigenous water and land protectors, the original environmentalists on this land.
As we learn and grow, this Land Acknowledgement will too.
