Winnipeg: The Forks: History

The Forks is a meeting place.  This confluence of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers has been a central hub of life for thousands of years. 


For the early natives and settlers, it offered a life with incredible opportunity and hardship.  It is difficult to imagine how people survived here during the winter without some of the modern conveniences!


This park is a memorial to all those whose lives passed through here and who helped form Winnipeg.
