More than 400 feet of steel and light, the Wall marks the height, depth and location of Upper Fort Garry’s west wall, which was demolished in the 1880s. Its layers scribe three continuous lines tracing the history of western Canada and of Upper Fort Garry. Viewing from left to right, the imagery begins with First Nations, Métis, and the fur trade. It then portrays European settlers and the events surrounding Red River’s entry into Canada. Finally, it depicts the remaking of the prairies, the building of Winnipeg, and the development of northern Manitoba.

Sculpture in Motion

The UFG Sound and Light Show, made possible through the generosity of Royal Bank of Canada, premiered at Upper Fort Garry Provincial Park on November 16th, 2016. The show brings a new dimension to your visit to the Park. Step back and enjoy this artistic interpretation of the Metis buffalo hunt.
