No Kms on bicycle, 6.2Kms au pied in Winnipeg
Human rights ideas, historical events, and liberators are at the centre of consideration in Winnipeg's Canadian Museum of Human Rights. We were moved and inspired by the complexity of content and how effectively it was conveyed by the exhibition curators and designers. Architect Antoine Predock designed the spaces to create a flow of experience from dark to light, from deep oppression to enlightened action. We started our day expecting to visit for an overview and ended up staying for hours. We recommend a destination visit to the Museum and for all to experience the on-line site. From the Museum observation tower we could see the dragon boat races taking place on the river below and we walked there next and then to the Sunday Public Market. We spoke with Paul, who is with Wrench and he told us the Winnipeg Tweed Ride was underway and would end near to the Food Truck Wars (Many Festival), which is where we planned to go for our mid-day food. The Festival was busy and eclectic and we made Healthy Choice our choice, as there was no line-up and the other food trucks had snaking lines of folks waiting to order. From there, we walked back to the Fort Garry Hotel (similar in style to The Empress or Hotel Vancouver) and connected with Steven, the Tweed Ride organizer! What a great, busy day we had in Winnipeg!

  1. What an urban flip from your lakeside wilderness camping! I'm so impressed with how you make the most of any cultural and educational experiences that rise up along your journey. (I took part in a local Red Dress "memorial" about a year ago.)- - - J.McD.
