Wonderful Winnipeg! A perfect introduction.
(GC9231-20)
Explore Winnipeg, the gracious prairie capital located at the heart of the continent. Visit the Forks, a local meeting place at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, and photograph the impressive Legislative Building, crowned with the signature Golden Boy. The renowned Manitoba Museum is home to a magnificent collection of galleries, and the Winnipeg Art Gallery houses the largest collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world.
Winnipeg has much to offer visitors. It is known as the arts and culture centre of Canada, and its fabulous selection of restaurants feature everything from local cuisine to multicultural fare. This special add-on program is self-guided, and time spent in the city will offer participants a richer understanding of the northern tours that we offer.

The evening is again free, but depending on the date of your visit, there may be an opportunity to watch a play, ballet, concert or sporting event! Ask us for details.
