Besides the obvious, what are some of the attractions or must see's in Winnipeg to do while I'm there for Grey Cup week?

What to see and do in Winnipeg?
Moderator: Team Captains
I went to the aviation meuseum, it was really awesome. I also went to the Royal Canadian Mint which was pretty cool (I got to hold a bar of gold). I saw a bunch of other stuff like the legislature (which looked cool at night) and some stuff downtown like the 1st BMO down there (basically a really really old building). The only thing I didnt see while I was there that I wish I had was the Naval Meuseum.Besides the obvious, what are some of the attractions or must see's in Winnipeg to do while I'm there for Grey Cup week?

I thought you were kidding until I googled it. Manitoba has a Naval Museum! I suppose now Saskatchewan needs a surfing museum? Alberta needs a Karl Marx museum? Vancouver needs a suntanning museum? :lol:CB123 wrote:The only thing I didnt see while I was there that I wish I had was the Naval Museum.

This is the web page of that museum:

Apparently, it's not too popular because it only opens one day a week on Wednesdays. I thought it was unusual for Manitoba to have a Naval Museum. But don't forget that Manitoba borders Hudson Bay, and I suppose it's possible for naval ships to sail from Hudson Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. That said, are there many Canadian Naval bases along the coast of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Nunavut?

Zero. CFB Esquimalt and CFB Halifax are our principal bases; there is also CFS St. John's, the Nanoose Bay test range, and Naval Radio Section Aldergrove.Robbie wrote:That said, are there many Canadian Naval bases along the coast of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Nunavut?

Hopefully, everyone in Winnipeg is okay after a huge snowstorm hit the city.
