ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL W St. John's Cathedral is the oldest Anglican parish west of the Great Lakes dating back to 1820 and the oldest cemetery in Winnipeg, where many of Manitoba's prominent historical figures lie. The cemetery pre-dates the foundation of the parish by eight years, since it was founded by the Selkirk Settlers shortly after their arrival in 1812. Guided tours by appointment tell tales of the courageous efforts that were undertaken to develop and build this community.
