Inside the atrium you'll find the tranquil Stuart Clark Garden of Contemplation. Bathed in natural light and flanked by placid ponds, this space is perfect for an intimate dinner of 60 to 90 people, or a reception of up to 150. For larger gatherings, Bonnie & John Buhler Hall can accommodate up to 1,500 people inside a massive, yet welcoming space, cradled within the centre of the Museum. CMHR's Facility Rentals team works closely with clients and event planners to ensure they select the right space for their meeting needs, and the sentiment they want their event to create. The Museum's team is growing their expertise in hosting hybrid events — with key team members earning certifications through Meeting Planners International in advanced hybrid design and strategy — to ensure a smooth, in-house experience no matter what the meeting format. This, coupled with an increased investments in the digital infrastructure will ensure an ever-improving experience for organizers into the future. Event planners can also consider incorporating in-person or virtual tour experiences, and ethical shopping experiences into their agendas. Making the CMHR a key component in any event will give delegates and guests an unforgettable experience that they will remember long after they return home. The glass spire that rises from Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) into the Winnipeg skyline is a symbol of hope and light for the future. This award-winning, stunning architectural phenomenon is not only a venue that will inspire delegates visually, it also provides an experience that will drive a deeper connection between the people and partners gathered within to move forward together. Located on Treaty 1 territory, near the fork of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, the area has been used as a meeting place for thousands of years; it follows that CHMR is a well-suited event space for all imaginable sectors and industries. It's the only national museum built outside of Ottawa, and the first in the world solely dedicated to the evolution, celebration and future of human rights. "Clients and event planners looking for a location aligned with relevant, inspirational messages of inclusion, support for human rights, and reconciliation would choose well to book their event at the Museum," says Frances Wellink, manager of Special Events and Facility Rentals at CMHR. CHMR has a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces able to accommodate small and large numbers of participants. Classrooms and a glass-enveloped boardroom (perched near the top of the Museum) make ideal locations for group thought and workshops, while outdoor patio areas and indoor terraces allow for mingling and networking.
