I was out and about in Winnipeg yesterday and thought it you may like to see some of the city. Well...this is not the entire city but areas that you will become familiar with when you attend IAWP 2014 this September.
It was a sunny 15 degrees Celsius yesterday. A great day for a walk and a great opportunity for me to snap some pictures for you.
The historic Hotel Fort Garry is the main venue for IAWP 2014. Be sure to check out their website...there is spa inside ladies! I am not encouraging you to cut class but if you are interested take a look at TEN SPA to see what they have to offer. I have tested it first hand (once or twice...lol...) and assure it is every bit of luxury they say it is.
Right beside the hotel, to the east, is the Manitoba Club.
Winnipeg has it's own Union Station just like New York. The main rail line for Winnipeg is located one block from the hotel and if you enjoy the splendour of historic buildings this one should be on your list. This is located one block east from the hotel.
From old to new...the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) is a majestic sight on the Winnipeg skyline. Winnipeg is very proud to be the home of Canada's only national museum located outside of the capital city (Ottawa). The CMHR is a very short walk from the Hotel Fort Garry and it one of the attractions you will want to take in.
Shaw Park is located kitty corner to the CMHR. It is home to our baseball team who play in the Northern League, the Winnipeg Goldeyes. For those of you who know Cynthia...she is a big fan of "The Fish".
To the south of the CMHR, Esplanade Riel, takes visitors into the French Quarter of Winnipeg. It is another more recent example of unique architecture in our city.
This is just a small example of what you will see and experience in Winnipeg this fall. The IAWP 2014 is counting down the days until we see you here!
