Winnipeg<br />
The largest city in Manitoba and known<br />
affectionately as ‘The Peg’, Winnipeg may have<br />
begun as a fur-trade centre but is now a vibrant<br />
and cosmopolitan city in the heart of Canada’s<br />
prairies. Set at the confluence of the Red and<br />
Assiniboine rivers, its attractions include the<br />
Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature, Winnipeg<br />
Art Gallery, the Exchange District with its examples<br />
of early 20th century architecture and the historic<br />
districts of The Forks and Lower Fort Garry.<br />
The city is very multi-cultural and has large<br />
Ukrainian, Chinese and Italian communities,<br />
resulting in a very diverse and interesting cultural<br />
blend. There is no shortage of entertainment<br />
options with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra,<br />
Manitoba Opera, Royal Winnipeg Ballet as well as<br />
a variety of summer festivals. No visit is complete<br />
without a trip along the Red River to Lake<br />
Winnipeg, where you’ll find some of Manitoba’s<br />
finest sandy beaches.<br />

Oak Hammock Marsh<br />
Oak Hammock Marsh is a 36 square kilometre<br />
Wildlife Management Area that is one of North<br />
America’s birding hotspots. It includes a restored<br />
prairie marsh, aspen-oak bluff, waterfowl lure<br />
crops, artesian springs, 30 kilometres of trails, and<br />
some of Manitoba’s last remaining expanses of the<br />
highly endangered tall-grass prairie. Each season at<br />
the marsh offers unique opportunities: it is home<br />
to 25 species of mammal, 296 species of bird,<br />
numerous amphibians, reptiles, fish and countless<br />
invertebrates. The number of waterfowl using the<br />
marsh during migration can exceed 400,000 at any<br />
one time: for these reasons Oak Hammock Marsh<br />
has been designated as a Ramsar Site, a wetland of<br />
international importance.<br />
