Sylvie from Parks Canada took me on a tour of The Forks and it was such an eye-opening experience! 🌾 This historic site has over 6,000 years of history, rooted in Treaty 1 territory and the homeland of many Indigenous peoples. A few highlights from the tour: * Learned about the devastating 1950 spring river flood, where the Red River overflowed, and people were canoeing in the streets! The Legislative Building was underwater, and the Floodway was later built to manage snowmelt from Lake Winnipeg. 🌊 * Discovered that The Forks Market used to be horse stables, and the arches are a nod to that history. * The tallgrass prairie here is home to bees 🐝 and monarch butterflies 🦋—the latter now endangered because they only eat milkweed, which is disappearing with the loss of prairie. Less than 1% of this vital ecosystem remains worldwide. Planting native gardens can help protect these species! 🌸🪴 * The Oodena Celebration Circle is the heart of the city—a place where people gather for drumming, powwows, and sharing knowledge. Such a powerful connection to the past and present. * The Forks has long been a landmark, where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet. This “superhighway” was crucial during the fur trade era, with furs transported from Canada to Europe. The Hudson’s Bay Company, North America’s oldest company, played a significant role here. 🛶 So much history packed into this place, from the battles of the fur trade to the resilience of the Métis Nation. The shadows cast on the stone paths mark 450 million years of geological history, showing tools that shaped the prairies. An unforgettable journey through time. 🌟 #TheForks #ParksCanada #IndigenousHistory #FurTrade #MonarchButterflies #onlyinthepeg #exploreMB #travel #manitoba #winnipeg #exploreCanada #ChurchillWild #canada #exploreCanada Tourism Winnipeg Churchill Wild Travel Manitoba Destination Canada Parks Canada #parkscanada The Forks Winnipeg #theforkswinnipeg

Hot and dry conditions are present in parts of our province, resulting in an increased risk of wildfires in some areas. There are no immediate impacts to the Calgary area at this time, and much of Alberta’s wild spaces remain open for recreation, camping and enjoyment.

What challenges do we face in preserving our natural landscapes? The recent exploration of the Glens of Antrim highlights the breathtaking beauty of Northern Ireland's Causeway Coastal Route. As we witness the stunning vistas and rich history, it's essential to discuss the environmental and cultural preservation efforts that are critical today. These areas not only showcase natural wonders but also tell stories of our heritage. I believe that sustainable tourism can play a vital role in protecting these delicate ecosystems. By valuing and respecting nature, we not only enhance our travel experiences but also ensure that future generations can enjoy the same beauty. What are your thoughts on responsible tourism and its impact on our landscapes? https://lnkd.in/gip9gtya
