first designated to be built outside of the

downtown Winnipeg.
The only place to find the most comprehensive

In 2012, the Planetarium
installed Canada's most
advanced projection system
and the second of its kind in
the world. Called the Digistar
5, the multi-projection
system delivers a nearly 3D
experience blasting star
lovers across the universe.
The Royal Canadian Mint not only
produces currency for Canada, but has minted
more than 55 billion coins for more than 75
countries around the world. The Mint produced
the world's first coloured circulation coin—
the 2004 Remembrance Day 25-cent piece
featuring a red poppy on the reverse.
