FORTWHYTE ALIVE
www.fortwhyte.org
Six hundred-forty acres of pristine prairie beauty are waiting to welcome you in this oasis just south of the city. In summer, feel
the wind in your hair canoeing or sailing on one of FortWhyte's several lakes. In fall, sip a locally brewed beer on their restaurant
patio while witnessing North America's largest animal (the bison) roam in its natural habitat as migrating birds fill the sky. In
winter, go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing on its many trails or take the kids out for a ridiculously fun day of sliding on the
Richardson Rrrun Toboggan slide. No matter what the season, there is always an adventure to be had at FortWhyte Alive.
THE EXCHANGE DISTRICT NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
www.exchangedistrict.org
One of Canada's architectural marvels, this 30-block district boasts North America's most extensive (and handsome!) turn-
of-the-20th-century buildings. While walking its charming streets, you'll find some of the city's trendiest and tastiest spots
including small plate restaurants and bistros, who flaunt their exposed brick and beam; up-and-coming and established
galleries; vintage and antique shops, and some of the best the city has to offer in coffee and café culture.
ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
www.mint.ca
One of Winnipeg's most beautiful buildings, its reflective glassy exterior is a sight to behold at sundown, glowing under an
orange prairie sky. On the inside you'll find guided tours that will have you holding a $600,000 gold bar (it's really quite
heavy), ogling over the Olympic gold medals that were made for Vancouver 2010, and witnessing coins being produced for
over 70 different countries. A trip to the Mint is surely worth every penny.
