The Forks Market Tower: Ronald Macalino THE CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS www.museumforhumanrights.ca Designed by architect extraordinaire Antione Predock, Canada's newest, most eye-catching attraction dominates the Winnipeg skyline, shining like a beacon. Inside an immersive experience that you can't possibly shake awaits as 11 powerful, interactive and awe-inspiring exhibits gradually climb to the CMHR's pinnacle, the Tower of Hope (which provides a stunning view of the city). An ambitious museum meant to foster dialogue and promote change for a better world, the CMHR provides a stirring account of the human experience unlike anything you've ever witnessed. 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. THE FORKS NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE www.theforks.com | www.parkscanada.gc.ca/forks Saturated in 6,000 years of history, the meeting of the Red and Assiniboine rivers has always been a gathering place for peoples. Across 54 beautiful acres you'll find a bustling central market, exceptional dining and accommodations, vast tree- lined paths overlooking all the bends in the riverbank, a world-class skate park, a children's play area and water park, and all the best things a Winnipeg winter has to offer, like skate rentals and access to one of the world's longest skating rinks. It also bridges, via the sexy Esplanade Riel, the très-European St. Boniface — with its restaurants, cafés, artistic heir and francophone flavour — and the downtown core. 1. 2.
