The Forks National
Historic Site
When visiting Winnipeg, ask any local and they
will proudly proclaim The Forks is the place
to be! Whether in the sweet summer heat or
the whimsical winter frost, The Forks bustles with
events, festivals and activities.
Located at the junction of the Red and
Assiniboine rivers, The Forks has been a meeting
place that began with First Nations peoples,
followed by European traders and later with rail
yards and surges of immigration. The history of
The Forks tells the dynamic tale of how Winnipeg
grew into the beating heart of our continent.
Take a guided tour covering The Forks' 6,000
years of history in 60 minutes and join us
for exciting activities all summer long! Visit

Lower Fort Garry
National Historic Site
Embracing the eastern edge of the vast
Canadian prairies, Lower Fort Garry National
Historic Site is an iconic 19th century fur trade-
era fort situated above the Red River. Lower
Fort Garry is where the first of the Numbered
Treaties was signed with Treaty One Nation.
The site was also the first training centre for the
North-West Mounted Police in 1873 and, years
later, the location of Manitoba's first prison and
psychiatric facility.
Participate in our summer-long activities, explore
the all new gabeshewin structures and join us for
Treaty No. 1 Commemoration Day on August 3!
Book a private guided tour, or explore on
