I often can't get my work done in time on a Friday to catch a flight back to MN that evening. So, I often go for a walk after dinner to see the city.
The train station in Winnipeg isn't far from the hotel. And, I loved the dome.
Winnipeg was a huge city 100+ yrs ago. It was the gateway to western Canada. Thousands of people went through this station.
I loved seeing the large black and white photos from the early 1900's of Canadian immigrants arriving at their new homes. On my last trip, just below the window below, was a room where about 100 new immigrants were welcomed as Canadian citizens.
I think of my grandfather and the journey he took, at age 16, through Ellis Island. It takes something to leave all you know and go to another country.
I really like this building and what it stands for.
