Winnipeggers were
lost on the sinking
of the Titanic in

It is said that
The Fort Garry Hotel
is haunted by a ghostly
woman in a ball gown,
a phantom diner and
a mysterious ghost
light that traverses
the hallways of this
grand hotel.
Opened in 1928, Winnipeg James
Armstrong Richardson International
Airport, then called Stephenson
Field, was the first international
airport in Canada. In 2011, the airport
opened Canada's first LEED-certified
terminal, and it was named one of
the world's iconic airports by Travel
Channel. *
