'Winter storm watch in effect...'

How do you introduce a newsletter called Community Calendar when a major blizzard may shut down the city and cancel all the events you've carefully formatted and turned into listings (below)?

You do what people have always done in this part of the world – make alternate plans, batten down the hatches and just get on with it.

So, with that said and with a Colorado low threatening to dump 30 to 50 centimetres of snow on southeastern Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba, North Dakota, Minnesota and northwest Ontario this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I feel duty-bound to warn you all to make sure you check with ticket sellers and venues before you head out to any of this week's many events, shows, meetings, exhibitions and concerts.

With any luck, the worst of the coming storm will pass to the south and east of Winnipeg and our lives will proceed as normal while we deal with the not-unknown inconvenience of April snowfall.

If we do get hit full-force, I hope you all weather the storm safely and remember, this too shall melt...

One of the purposes of this newsletter is to offer a select list of upcoming events and to encourage people to use our event submission page. If you want to learn more about what's going on in and around the city, please visit our Events listings page.

Finally, if someone has forwarded this email to you and you'd like to receive it, you can sign up here to have it delivered to your inbox.

Whatever Mother Nature may bring us, try to enjoy the week!
