Poverty and Prosperity: A Walk Down Early 1900s Broadway

Departs from the Alloway Arch at The Forks

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.

Homeland of the Red River Métis

Not currently offered

Dalnavert Museum and Visitors’ Centre will be pausing the Homeland of the Red River Métis Walking Tour. We have heard concerns about the tour from members of the Red River Métis community and we want to ensure that we are listening to those voices and not causing harm through our actions. This tour will be on indefinite hiatus while we engage with the Red River Métis community to find a better path forward.

Thank you for your understanding. If you have questions, concerns, or would like to have a conversation with us, please contact us at info@dalnavertmuseum.ca.
