WINNIPEG 2016-2017 | YOUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY 33 ANDERSON'S HITCH 'N POST RANCH Rustic charm meets cowboy cool at this prairie-situated ranch located 25 minutes outside of Winnipeg. Feel the prairie wind in your hair when you ride the Prairie Dog Central Train a vintage 1800's steam train that takes your group to the ranch (which just may be held up by horse-riding outlaws). The ranch's 4,000 square foot main hall is absolutely charming, with wood-beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace that gives off that toasty aroma, and a vast assortment of pioneering artifacts and antiques adorning the walls. ASSINIBOINE PARK You simply won't believe the audience who will be watching your delegates mix and mingle at Assiniboine Park and Zoo's Journey to Churchill. Up to nine playful polar bears and several seals call the facility home, and they'll surely swim and play overhead and around your guests, much to your party's amazement. Across the park, nestled amongst trees and overlooking a verdant or snow-covered landscape is the Qualico Centre, an ideal venue for hosting events of all sizes where the architecture is a real conversation piece – that's if you can take your guests eyes away from the angular floor-to-ceiling views of the duck pond and surrounding forests and fields. CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS This iconic architectural marvel is the ideal spot for meetings and conventions if you are looking to truly dazzle your delegation. Ten awe-inspiring, thought-provoking spaces are available, including the Bonnie and John Buhler Hall – an ideal setting for a large reception or banquet where your journey into the museum begins, and the Garden of Contemplation – where guests are able to take in the incredible scope of the CMHR's architecture as natural light pours in. CELEBRATIONS DINNER THEATRE This theatre's tiered seating arrangement makes it a fitting venue for a celebration, a larger presentation utilizing its built in stage, or for a sit-down dinner with its large capacity for 450 people. As a companion program, you can also book groups for the actual musical- comedy performances that Celebrations is known for. This three-act, four-course meal will see everyone getting in on the show, including your waiter and perhaps even your guests.
