On Friday, April 26, RRC Polytech graduate Jackie Wild will be the guest speaker at CreativeMornings Winnipeg’s free event taking place on campus at RRC Polytech’s gorgeous training restaurant, Jane’s. All RRC Polytech alumni and community members are warmly invited to attend.

More than a decade ago, CreativeMornings was launched out of a desire for ongoing, accessible events for creative communities to connect. Today, these communities gather in 223 cities across 67 countries — including right here in Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg chapter of CreativeMornings not only celebrates our city’s creative talent, but also promotes an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. From marketing legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. This month’s theme is SPICY: being open to trying new and bold tastes is a good lesson for bringing daring and originality into all of our creative endeavors. 

Join CreativeMornings Winnipeg this Friday as Jackie chats about ‘the secret sauce’: how to spice up your life with creativity, culture and community. A graduate of RRC Polytech’s Creative Communications program, Jackie transformed her father’s decades-old dream into Tito Boy Restaurant in Winnipeg. Hear how she turned her maternity leave into a business plan, defied convention, and opened the first Philippine eatery in the south end of the city. Discover how Tito Boy’s isn’t just about serving delicious food—it’s a space for fostering intergenerational and intercultural connections within the Philippine-Canadian diaspora. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about Jackie’s unconventional path to unlocking her creative potential and launching a successful business.

Not only will you hear Jackie’s story on the 26th, but you’ll also have the chance to take part in an EXCLUSIVE opportunity for CM WPG participants: a “behind the scenes” tour of the Culinary and Baking labs at RRC Polytech as well as the Prairie Research Kitchen on the 11th floor (best views of Winnipeg!). Meet at the security desk just at the entrance to Jane’s at 7:30 a.m. for the tour. As always, CreativeMornings Winnipeg events are free to attend. You won’t want to miss it!
