Everyone is invited to join the Bannock Babes in The Cave (DM30) at NDC for Drag Bingo on October 20 from 5:30pm to 8:30pm!  

The event, organized by Indigenous Student Supports and the Students’ Association, is in-person and played on electronic devices, so players will need to bring their own phone or laptop that can connect to wifi. Students are welcome to bring their families for a family fun night with performances by the Bannock Babes between rounds. Food and refreshments will be available (bannock dogs anyone?) and prizes to be won! 

Your hosts, the Bannock Babes, are a collective of Indigenous drag artists based in Winnipeg. They blossomed in the spotlight in March 2019 and have since performed for the No Stone Unturned concert, Read by Queens at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, and a mural unveiling by artist Peatr Thomas in St. Boniface. The Bannock Babes regularly raise funds for local charities, including the 2 Spirit Pow Wow. You may not see them making bannock, but these babes from three different provinces are hard to forget. 

Entry is free of charge — we just ask attendees to register in advance. We will also be accepting cash donations for the Mínwastánikéwin Truth and Reconciliation Award through the college or a tin for the bin to help support the Students’ Association hamper program. 

Register now – spots are filling up fast in The Cave, and we don’t want you to miss out. Bring your friends, family, and phone! See you on the 21^st!
