Evergreen Theatre Society shutting down after 34 years serving Calgary's arts community
The Evergreen Theatre Society is shutting down operations at the end of June after 34 years in business. The theatre group offered science programming in schools across Alberta, as well as accessible, affordable community spaces for art, theatre and dance. Sean Fraser, Evergreen's executive director, said the group was unable to renew a 10-year loan contract with the Social Enterprise Fund (SEF), an Alberta-based loan lender which invests in social enterprises and entrepreneurs. "It's been really disappointing," Fraser said. "Not only because of our space, but because that's sort of what's been going on in the arts and culture sector for many years." Fraser said Evergreen has paid over $1 million worth of interest on its $5.5 million loan since 2020, but SEF has decided to pull their money out of the project. "It's their right. It's their money and that's the way it goes," he said. "But because the building itself isn't valued at the amount that we borrowed, they will then actually come after Evergreen for the balance of the monies owed, which basically makes Evergreen Theatre… inoperable." In an emailed statement, SEF's director Ryan Young said that in the last 10 years, SEF has made "numerous efforts" to help Evergreen financially through nine extensions and amendments to the original loan agreement. "Despite these efforts, Evergreen was still unable to meet its loan commitments which led us to make the difficult decision to not renew the loan, which matured on March 15, 2025," Young's statement said. The loan, Fraser said, was meant to be part of a long-term plan to own a facility, pay off the SEF loan, and in turn, rely less on government funding to operate going forward — but a number of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, complicated that vision. The SEF has not shared plans yet for the building after June 30. Arts groups left to find an alternative space Evergreen offers musical theatre programming to students from kindergarten to Grade 6 on topics related to science and the environment. The 24,000-square-foot community arts space, located in Calgary's northeast Mayland Heights neighbourhood, houses various studios, a presentation theatre and office spaces. Fraser said they have anywhere from 80 to 100 clients who currently use the facility, and service more than 100,000 people each year. One of those clients is Cordelia Deano, who teaches with the Artistique Parents Association. "It really sucks," she said. "I found the space really nice and they did a really good job of what they do, especially providing us such low fees to rent out the room for an hour. And they're beautiful rooms — the rooms are huge, so it's nice. You can use it for anything." Deano said if they can't find an alternative space that's affordable, then won't be able to provide dance classes. A loss to the arts community "It's nothing short of devastating," said Ryan Gray, a freelance artist who works with Ghost River Theatre. "When we were rehearsing here last month, we were here twice a week during daytime hours and this place was always buzzing. "I would see all ages from babies to seniors, people with disabilities or special needs and a bit of everything: dance classes, yoga, presentations, rehearsals, singing lessons. There was always something going on." Gray remembers Evergreen Theatre touring productions back when he was in elementary school. Now, he and his colleagues rely on the space for rehearsals. "There's a real drastic shortage of rehearsal space in Calgary for artists, and especially affordable space for emerging artists and indie companies," he said. Shona Robinson brings her homeschooled children to the Evergreen facility for dance classes, and said losing the space is really unfortunate. "Even the building itself, it's been made for this reason," she said. "And whether they're gonna rip that out or something, that's just really sad. "A place that makes it so accessible to be able to dance and all these different arts. There's not many places in the city like that at all, or it's like those private-owned places but not a community space." After years of serving the community, Fraser said he's proud of the work Evergreen accomplished. "We were around for 10 years [at the current community space], plus the time with the other spaces. So we've got nothing to be ashamed of."

‘A war on the poor': How tariffs hit low-income residents hardest
Advertisement Add that to the many services for low-income families that are on the chopping block, such as SNAP, WIC, Section 8 housing vouchers, and Medicaid, said Viviana Abreu-Hernández, president of Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center, and the impact is remarkable: 'This is a war on the poor.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The Globe spoke to Abreu-Hernández, Adam Hersh at the Economic Policy Institute, and Ryan Young at the Competitive Enterprise Institute to learn more about the effect tariffs will have on vulnerable people. Boston Globe: How will lower-income people be affected in the checkout line? Viviana Abreu-Hernández: Poor people tend to rely on imported products that are significantly cheaper. Where do they go to do their shopping? They don't go to Target, they go to the dollar store, and everything at the dollar store is made in China, it's made in Vietnam, it's made in Indonesia. … There are places in this country where the closest grocery store is a 90-mile drive. Poor people buy their groceries at the dollar store. They have pizza, they have ice cream, they have frozen food, they have canned food. … They sell everything from socks and T-shirts and bulbs to birthday things and cleaning products. Advertisement Ryan Young: If a good is worth less than $800, then you can ship it into the country duty-free. So companies like Temu and Shein from China, if it's just one person buying a shirt or a dress or something, that can enter the country duty-free. Early on, the Trump administration tried to do away with that, so those goods would now be tariffed. They drew it back because that is 1.4 billion packages per year that would have to be inspected. And Customs and Border Patrol simply does not have the resources to do that. Part of [Trump's so-called] Liberation Day, and this is going under the radar, is that he is once again going to try and do away with that. BG: What's going to happen to the cost of clothing? Adam Hersch: A number of countries where we get a lot of consumer goods from, particularly … footwear and apparel, and lower-end consumer goods from Southeast Asia, they are getting hit with the highest tariffs. They also are some of the poorest countries: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos are singled out for some of the highest tariff rates. RY: A lot of people are scrambling to do [back to school] shopping now before the tariffs fully phase in. But if you're in a paycheck-to-paycheck situation, you might not be able to get your kids' back-to-school clothes now, in April, for something that's not going to happen until August. Advertisement BG: How about groceries? RY: Things like canned goods, things with a long shelf life, might be good to stock up on now if you can. A lot of fresh produce, especially stuff that's out of season in the US but might be [in season] in say, South America, because they have such a short shelf life, those prices are going to go up quickly. BG: Housing is a huge cost in Massachusetts. Will that go up? AH: We import a lot of building supplies. So that's going to slow down the construction of new housing. We already have housing shortages in most places, which is why we have such high housing costs. BG: Many people rely on their cars to get to work. Will those costs rise too? AH: With the tariffs on autos, we're going to see prices of new cars go up, but we're also going to see prices of used cars go up because when the new cars are expensive, few people can afford them. There's going to be a shift in demand toward used cars. During the pandemic, when there was an auto shortage, new car prices went up but the used car prices went up like crazy. BG: What about small businesses, many of which are owned by lower-income people of color? VAH: The mom-and-pop shops that import goods from abroad and sell to the poorest people, they're going to either make no margins, they're not going to be able to afford the product, and the consumers are not going to be able to buy products. Advertisement AH: Small businesses are going to be much less able to handle financially this shock from the tariffs, so it's likely that we're going to see a lot more of what we call business deaths — small businesses going out of business or being bought up by big business, and fewer business starts from small-business entrepreneurs. So we're going to see an increasing market concentration in monopolistic firms and that's going to tend to raise prices for consumers. BG: Will prices for domestic goods take a hit? RY: Domestic steel producers can raise their prices now without fear of being undercut and that's exactly what we saw the last time there were steel tariffs in Trump's first term. Even domestic goods, many of them will go up in price, even if there's no tariff on those goods … because they can get away with it. BG: Why is it that the most vulnerable populations are affected the most by economic headwinds? VAH: This is affecting the people that are not invited to the decision-making table. These are the people that do not have the means to lobby the House and the Senate. AH: By definition, they have the least power and the least access to opportunities to insulate themselves from these problems. When we have an economic slowdown or go into recession, it's always low-income workers, people of color, women, young workers, who bear the brunt of the costs of those downturns.

2025 March Madness updates: NCAA tournament bracket news, Selection Sunday analysis, snubs, first-round times
March Madness is here, and the craziness started with the opening game of the NCAA men's tournament. The First Four began Tuesday night with Alabama State stunning St. Francis on a layup with a second left following a football-style, length-of-the-court pass that was tipped. Alabama State will now take on overall No. 1 seed Auburn in the South region on Thursday. North Carolina ran past San Diego State, 95-68, in Tuesday's second First Four game and will now face No. 6 Ole Miss on Thursday. The women's First Four begins on Wednesday. Advertisement [Yahoo Fantasy Bracket Mayhem is back: Enter for a shot to win up to $50K] Selection Sunday was full of surprises, celebration and heartbreak. The bracket reveals are complete with the full selections for the men and women listed below. Here's how the No. 1 seeds shook out for the men: Auburn (South Region) Duke (East Region) Houston (Midwest Region) Florida (West Region) The SEC won the day with a record 14 of 16 teams making the NCAA tournament. The Big Ten was next with eight teams, followed by the Big 12 with seven. Here's how the No. 1 seeds shook out for the women: UCLA (Spokane 1) South Carolina (Birmingham 2) Texas (Birmingham 3) USC (Spokane 4) So, what can we make of the men's committee's selections? Here were some takeaways from Yahoo Sports analyst Jeff Eisenberg: Advertisement It was clear by Sunday morning that Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida had each separated themselves in the race for No. 1 seeds. Credit the committee for not messing that up — and for getting that in the right order. The same goes for the SEC getting 14 bids. You'll probably hear some complaints about it, but the truth is the SEC earned that respect. Where the selection committee stumbled a bit: selecting North Carolina over more deserving teams like West Virginia. The Tar Heels snared the final at-large spot in the field despite going 1-12 in Quadrant 1 games and only defeating one at-large-caliber NCAA tournament team. Also wrong: The committee claims that conference tournament title games matter — even the ones on Sunday that bump right up to the selection show. That's undoubtedly true when there's a bid thief involved. It's a little more difficult to believe, however, when there is just a potential seed line bump or two at stake. Michigan being slotted in as a No. 5 seed while the team it just beat (Wisconsin) was given a No. 3 seed, despite comparable résumés, makes the claim seem dubious. Advertisement On the women's side of the bracket, Ryan Young thinks the selection made at least one mistake. Going into Selection Sunday, it seemed as if South Carolina had the edge for the No. 1 overall seed. The reigning national champions were fresh off a blowout win in their conference championship game and looked strong closing out the year. The Gamecocks had won seven straight, all by double digits, and had clearly put a 29-point home loss to UConn behind them. But the committee opted to go with UCLA instead. And it shouldn't have. The Bruins absolutely earned a No. 1 seed in the tournament. That was never in doubt. They went 30-2 and won the Big Ten tournament title with a win over USC. They started the year on a 23-game win streak, too. So the committee gave UCLA the top overall seed for the first time in program history. Advertisement The biggest reason for that, they said on ESPN, was two-fold. First, UCLA beat South Carolina by 15 points in November. While a head-to-head matchup usually does the trick, that was months ago. The second was South Carolina losing by nearly 30 points to UConn at home. UCLA didn't have a loss that bad.

Every year, there are more teams convinced they deserve an NCAA men's tournament bid than there is room in the 68-team bracket. Three years ago, Texas A&M coach Buzz Williams distributed a nine-page manifesto arguing the Aggies were wronged and the selection process needed an overhaul. Last year, the Big East called itself 'understandably very disappointed' over the conference's historically low number of teams selected. This March, the bubble teams passed over in favor of North Carolina had the most reason to be fuming after the unveiling of the bracket Sunday evening. Many amateur bracketologists projected the Tar Heels to narrowly miss the field of 68 since they went 1-12 in Quadrant 1 games and beat only one projected NCAA tournament team all year. The committee apparently felt otherwise, awarding one of the final at-large bids to the Tar Heels (22-13) by virtue of their top-40 metrics and strong strength of schedule. While North Carolina experienced the relief of hearing its name called, other bubble teams weren't so lucky. Here are this year's biggest NCAA tournament snubs.

Only Tennessee has been better with 42 straight tournament appearances. UConn has now made it 36 times to match Stanford. Baylor is the next-closest team with 21 consecutive appearances.
