What was life like for people in Winnipeg 100 years ago? This city was quite different back then and had some major waves in growth. From being the "Gateway to the West" and "Chicago of the North" to the present day, Winnipeg's foundations have been shaped by classism, inequality, and histories both forgotten and overlooked.
This 60-minute walking tour of downtown explores Winnipeg's roots and foundations, from periods of major growth to the present day. Join us on Poverty and Prosperity to hear stories of the city and learn how Winnipeg became the city it is today.
Tours will proceed rain or shine, but may be cancelled at the discretion of the guide in the event of unsafe conditions such as extreme heat or lightning.
The Poverty and Prosperity Walking Tour is made possible thanks to support from Manitoba Sport, Culture, Heritage, and Tourism
