“Sticks and Stones” film crews to be on campus

November 14, 2025 — 

Film crews will be on site at the Fort Garry campus throughout the day on Monday, November 17th.

The motion picture, called “Sticks & Stones”, is an underdog story about a curling team going for gold at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Filming will begin once it gets dark outside but during the day you may notice changes to some of the banners lining the filming areas.

These areas impacted include: 
1.  Curry Place walkway between Princess Royal Walk and University Crescent

2.  Maclean Crescent between Dafoe Road and Freedman Crescent

If you are nearby, you may be advised to temporarily wait at times for everyone’s personal safety. The company has agreed to do its best to redirect pedestrian traffic and keep hold times to a minimum. 

The company greatly appreciates being able to utilize the University of Manitoba campus for its movie production, and thanks the community in advance for understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the on-site location manager Michael Cowles at (204) 955-7525 on the filming day.
