Plans for Upper Fort Garry

Upper Fort Garry is the place where Winnipeg and Manitoba was born and the site of significant historic events. Today, exciting plans are underway to reclaim and transform this treasure into a $19 million world class heritage park and interpretive centre. Highlights of this unique park include:

· a design that demarcates the foundations of the original buildings and walls;

· the original Governor’s Gate will remain;

· interpretive and symbolic representations of the fort and the buildings that were once enclosed within its walls;

· installations of art and other creative works within the park will represent the rich history of Upper Fort Garry;

· outdoor gathering spaces for historical events and programs; and

· a modern Interpretive Centre that houses meeting facilities and exhibitions.
