CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
www.humanrights.ca
Designed by architect extraordinaire Antoine 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.
EXCHANGE DISTRICT

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
people. 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 trails. It also
bridges, via the sexy Esplanade Riel, très-European St. Boniface — with its restaurants, cafes, artistic flair and francophone
flavour — and the downtown core.
