This four-season destination boasts a dazzling arts, theatre, and music scene, as well as diverse dining choices from award-winning chefs. Explore world-class attractions, including moving galleries inside the iconic Museum for Human Rights, and watch polar bears swim in an overhead tunnel at award-winning Journey to Churchill. Experience unique shopping, attractions, and outdoor adventures at The Forks or discover Winnipeg’s vibrant neighbourhoods, such as the artsy, historic Exchange District; the boho chic Osborne Village; or St. Boniface, Western Canada’s largest francophone community.
The conference will take place in downtown Winnipeg. It will be held at the Fort Garry Hotel with special events being held at the Canada Games Sport for Life Centre, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and The Forks.
