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. HERMETIC CODE TOUR IN THE MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING heartlandtravel.ca/book-a-tour/hermetic-code-tours-of-mb-legislative-building/ Dan Brown would be at a loss trying to decipher all the meaning enlaced in Canada's finest provincial legislative building. The grandiose interior of this ode to Olympus is studded with hieroglyphics, freemasonic symbols and numeric codes, all of which are unveiled in the Hermetic Code Tour — a must for anyone with a sense of intrigue. On the top of the building is Winnipeg's most beloved citizen: the beaming Golden Boy, our nod to Hermes who was crafted in Paris and holds a sheath of wheat. JOURNEY TO CHURCHILL AT ASSINIBOINE PARK ZOO www.assiniboineparkzoo.ca With the possible exception of seals, everybody loves polar bears — that's why they are the main attraction at the sensational new Journey to Churchill exhibit at Assiniboine Park Zoo. Watching these majestic mammals dive, swim, and frolic above you through the exhibit's glass dome will take your breath away, while the vast new terrain also features an incredible selection of animals, like muskox, wolves, moose, and seals. The zoo also features uber-rare animals, like red pandas and snow leopards, along with over 200 other species. 4. 5. 6.
