Public art around The Forks

Ice Resurfacer Wrap by Kale Bonham

These images were inspired by the artist’s experience of skating on Winnipeg’s river trail at night. The lack of crowds allows for a peaceful and serene skate, providing an opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy the city's beauty. It is a unique way to explore and possibly have a glimpse of the aurora and some wildlife while indulging in the joy of gliding under the night sky.

Back

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
