Friends of Upper Fort Garry
Upper Fort Garry Provincial Park is the place
where the Province of Manitoba was born and
the decision was made to join Canada. Today
this site has been revitalized, re-energized and
fort and area stories are being told through
technology, art and a sound and light show.
Plinths mark the site of buildings and the 440
foot long corten steel wall with its interwoven
threads of history and artistic icons highlighting
key moments in time will take you from the areas
early indigenous people through to modern
times. (Canada's largest public art installation)
The sound and light show adds another story
telling element. Whether young or someone
with experience, you can learn in new, creative
and interesting ways and have a lot of fun while
doing it. See upperfortgarry.com for a free app
that opens the door to history. Download the
app to your phone or tablet and then when you
walk the site, the history of the fort's buildings
and the historical icons on the Manitoba Liquor &
Lotteries Heritage Wall will be right in your hand.
A new and exciting way to experience a unique
spot in Canada's history.
