Enter this cornerstone site, located right downtown, through a circa 1850s stone gate, then bear witness to Canada's largest free-standing public art installation, the Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Heritage Wall. This vast installation uses light and sound to depict the history of the region while the Upper Fort Garry app reveals hidden stories found within. After, The Forks Market is just steps away for wining, dining, beer flights, and whatever meets your group's fancy. upperfortgarry.com • 204.987.4351 Winnipeg is known as "The Christmas Capital of Canada" and Heartland Travel and Tours is here to show you why.
