TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 - 10:00 - 11:00 AM
Presenters: Bud Ulrich, Former CFL Head Referee and Author of “Together at Tobans,
Winnipeg’s North End Kids in the 1950s”
Bud will take us on his journey of recapturing the memories of people and places in
Winnipeg’s North End in the 1950s.
“Bud Ulrich’s book truly captures a moment in time and a moment in history of our city
of Winnipeg. For people who did not grow up in the North End of Winnipeg, we are
transported into a most special time. Every chapter is so interesting that the reader
feels a part of the story. This book is educational, interesting and brings back so many
memories from that era which make it a must read.”
