Play for Peace: Treaty Tabletop
The Islamic Social Services Association, along with other faith groups based in Winnipeg, has hosted Play for Peace: Treaty Tabletop since 2015 for a night of free tabletop games with Across the Broad Cafe. According to local restaurateur Shawarma Khan : "Tonight is about Muslims and non-Muslims hanging out together and just sharing stories and having some fun.. "I think it's everyone’s duty to stand up for what's common sense, what's right and what's wrong." Organizations like Aborginal Youth Opportunities have also gotten involved with organizing such game nights since 2015. As Michael Redhead Champagne, founder of Aboriginal Youth Opportunities and Meet Me at the Bell Tower, proclaimed in one 2016 game night : "I just got my butt kicked in Sorry! We were playing Sorry! because we thought it was an interesting message to send to people ... specifically the Canadian government, because we feel like the best apology is changed behaviour.". "Today gives us a chance to learn a little more about what's happening in the Indigenous community and what all of us can do to live better together as neighbours." In 2016 organizers invited gamers to donate to the "Got Bannock'' program, run by Althea Guiboche to provide food for the homeless in Winnipeg.
