July 6. 12:00pm. Mary Gauthier. Little Stage On The Prairie

Arts & Entertainment, Charitable Organizations, Culture, ReviewsBy David JohnsonJuly 8, 2012

Arts & Entertainment, Charitable OrganizationsBy Taya RtichshevaJuly 4, 2012

Fort Gibraltar — one of the more unique places in Winnipeg — gives our city a special charm. Historical reconstruction in Winnipeg’s francophone neighbourhoods is opening the gates for visitors to explore the 19th century period when french voyageurs  first came to Manitoba.  The scenes are carefully recreated in an old blacksmith shop, in a…
