What's New
THE COMMON AT THE FORKS
Manitoba's number one tourist attraction revamped its food hall
with a $2.5 million renovation that includes a whole first floor liquor
license (so yes, you can shop and drink at the same time). The
Forks' industrial past inspired its Instagram-worthy design. Its new
centrepiece is The Common, which features a curated selection of 20
wines and 20 beers (many local) on tap awaits.

Canada's only dedicated outlet shopping centre. The 400,000 sq. ft.
retail development will include as many as 100 retailers featuring six

also being built on site.
