No matter the attraction in Churchill, – whether it’s viewing the Northern Lights, boating with beluga whales or going on a polar bear tundra safari, Manitoba’s capital offers an abundance of pre-and post-Churchill activities that are the perfect complement to your once-in-a-lifetime experience. Visit the Leatherdale Research Centre at the [Journey to Churchill (opens in new window)](https://www.assiniboinepark.ca/zoo/animals/journey-to-churchill) at Assiniboine Park to learn about polar bear denning and interact with orphaned bears or harbour seals. Appreciate the world’s largest collection of contemporary Inuit art – including sculptures from nearly every Arctic community –– at [WAG-Qauamjuq (opens in new window)](https://www.wag.ca/about/qaumajuq/). And walk on board the *Nonsuch,* a 17th-century replica ship built with hand tools of the era. Before docking permanently at the [Manitoba Museum (opens in new window)](https://manitobamuseum.ca/) in the 1970s, it actually crossed the Atlantic, following the path of the original’s fur-trading mission to Hudson Bay in 1668, which laid the foundation of the iconic Hudson’s Bay Company. Group tours are always available, while casual visitors can explore the city with ease. ### Winter city #### We make the cold cool You wouldn’t want to hibernate all winter in Winnipeg. If you did, you’d miss Western Canada’s largest and longest-running winter festival, [Festival du Voyageur (opens in new window)](https://heho.ca/). Among its towering snow sculptures (which are carved by international artists) and throughout the tents of live music, you’ll discover a unique *joie de vivre*. During the 10-day celebration of the region’s Métis, Francophone, First Nation and fur trading history, you can sample maple taffy on snow, delicious French cuisine, interact with costumed interpreters living life like the early 1800s and dance to countless live music acts. For students or adults alike, tours will have you snowshoeing, jigging, playing voyageur games, and learning what life was like during this formational period in Canada’s history. Winnipeg also makes ice oh so nice. Come January, the city’s famed Nestaweya Winter Trail offers one of the world’s longest naturally frozen – and groomed! – skating surfaces, stretching out from [The Forks (opens in new window)](https://www.theforks.com/) and down the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Rent skates, fat tire bikes, ice trikes and bikes or simply stroll past all the wondrous and whacky warming huts – which are designed by architects from around the world – throughout the trail. You’ll see and appreciate how the cold can inspire creativity. This unique winter scene always includes an abundance of locals as well as new Winnipeggers – some of whom are skating for the first time. And surely you’ll never see so many smiling dogs pulling their owners along the ice. Got lost in the world’s largest snow maze at [A Maze in Corn (opens in new window)](https://www.cornmaze.ca/), which also includes a restaurant in an ice cathedral run by award-winning celebrity chef Luc Jean.

Group tours are always available, while casual visitors can explore with ease. ### Authentic Indigenous #### Indigenous\-led tours and experiences Winnipeg is located on Treaty 1 Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. Across Canada, but particularly in Manitoba, Indigenous-led tourism is reconciliation in action, and this section of Treaty 1 continues to provide fertile ground for new tours and experiences. Winnipeg has the largest Indigenous population per capita in Canada, while our leading visitor attraction, [The Forks (opens in new window)](https://www.theforks.com/), has been a meeting hub for more than 6,000 years. From The Forks Market, you can discover this history with Indigenous –owned [Turtle Tours (opens in new window)](https://www.turtletours.ca/) (available for groups or individuals), whose guides will bring to life how this area was part of a vast modern trade network for the Ojibway, Cree and Métis peoples. Treaty 1 is also home to renowned festivals, such as [Manito Ahbee (opens in new window)](https://www.manitoahbee.com/) – featuring one of the largest annual powwows on Turtle Island, along with a burgeoning Indigenous culinary scene.

Arguably our most famous landmark is the [Canadian Museum for Human Rights (opens in new window)](https://humanrights.ca/), which is unmistakable both on the downtown skyline and on our $10 bill. It’s the only museum in the world dedicated to the evolution, celebration and future of human rights. Its thought-provoking exhibits literally ascend from darkness to light, presenting unshakeable and inspiring stories from across the globe. Immersive school programs, such as Be An Upstander, a 75-minute class, will embolden students, helping them to recognize injustices through workshops and providing real world examples, such as Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani female education activist, and producer of film and television. Winnipeg is also home to the [National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (opens in new window)](https://nctr.ca/), which tells the story of one of Canada’s most shameful institutions, the residential school system. Located on the University of Manitoba campus, the centre does everything from work on behalf of residential school survivors, to educate the public through exhibits and artifacts, to host tours and groups. Another must-see attraction is the [Agowiidiwinan Centre (opens in new window)](https://trcm.ca/agowiidiwinan-centre/) at The Forks, a new facility established by the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba. Through oral histories, archival documents and engaging displays, the centre fosters a deeper, contemporary understanding of treaties and their ongoing significance in the current national landscape. ### One multicultural city #### Winnipeg, so worldly More than 100 languages are spoken in Winnipeg, and we guarantee you’ll find one – and probably more – that speaks to you and your crew.
