ON THE HORIZON
GARDENS AT THE LEAF
With the Outdoor Gardens now open and The Leaf
set to open in late 2022, these new additions at
Assiniboine Park are a North American horticultural
showstopper. Gardens at The Leaf explores the
human connection with plants and nature, while
showcasing Canada's extraordinary multicultural
heritage. Its indoor component, The Leaf is an
architecturally brilliant horticultural attraction that
is the first and only garden in North America to tell
Canadians' cultural stories through the world of
plants. It features Canada's largest indoor waterfall.
The Gardens feature a series of outdoor gardens
offering distinct landscapes and experiences for
visitors. The spaces are activated with a variety of
educational and engaging experiences that explore
the universal human connection with plants and
nature across cultures and over time.
The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada is home to one of the largest
and most historically significant aviation collections in Canada. Founded in 1974,
the museum is dedicated to showcasing Canada's remarkable aviation history,
the wonder behind the science of flight, as well as inspiring future aviators
and explorers of the sky. In 2022, the museum re-opened its doors in a
new purpose-built, state-of-the-art building prominently located on the
main terminal loop at the Winnipeg James A. Richardson International
Airport. In its new 86,000 sq. ft. majestic home, the museum will
showcase the past, present and future of flight in distinct thematic
spaces in ways that engage, educate and inspire.
