FORTWHYTE ALIVE www.fortwhyte.org You don't have to leave the city to discover some of the best that Mother Nature provides on the prairies. This 640-acre nature reserve's bounty includes lakes that you can fish, ice fish, skate, canoe and sail on (depending on what season we're in, of course); countless km's of forested paths; North America's largest urban bison herd; and an interpretive centre featuring the Buffalo Stone Café, which often utilizes ingredients grown right on the adjacent FortWhyte Farm. Year-round programming and insightful tours are available daily. HERMETIC CODE TOUR IN THE MANITOBA LEGISLATIVE BUILDING www.heartlandtravel.ca/book-a-tour/hermetic-code-tours-of-mb- legislative-building/ Winnipeg's grandest neoclassical building is also its most mysterious, as you'll find out on this riveting tour. The purpose of the building's hieroglyphics, freemasonic symbols and mythological creatures — along with its use of numbers — lay hidden in plain sight for nearly a century until architectural historian Dr. Frank Albo solved the mystery. This thought-provoking tour by Heartland International Travel and Tours (often guided by Dr. Albo himself) reveals how the building is a temple of Hermetic wisdom, one that uses sacred geometry, symbolism and architecture to emulate Solomon's Temple. JOURNEY TO CHURCHILL AT ASSINIBOINE PARK ZOO www.assiniboineparkzoo.ca The world's premier Arctic species exhibit is home to snowy owls, movie star wolves (they shared the screen with Liam Neeson in The Grey), muskox, Arctic Fox, caribou, seals and more — but it's its polar bears that tend to steal the show. The exhibit's Sea Ice Passage brings you nearly nose-to-nose with these giant mammals as they swim and frolic above and around you. The exhibit is also home to the Leatherdale International Polar Bear Conservation Centre, a dual-purpose facility which contains interactive displays that educate on topics including climate change and the Arctic ecosystem, where scientists also conduct important research on bears. 4. 5. 6.
