Thousands of years ago, people gathered and traded at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers.

Together, we can restore what's been lost and reimagine what's possible. We can build lasting connections between land and water, between past and present, between communities and between each other.

Two Transformative Projects

Overhead map of The Forks We invite you to invest in two transformative projects to ensure everyone, no matter how they want to experience the water, is invited and welcomed to use our rivers and riverbanks safely and in good ways.

Donate or discover more about these projects:

Developing the Alexander Docks into a city block of new, accessible downtown part space with access to the Red River.
Reconnecting Niizhozibean to The Forks by revitalizing The Forks Historic Rail Bridge over the Assiniboine River.

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 National 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.
