Winnipeg Phototour (April 2014), Part 1: Union Station, Fort Garry Hotel, Manitoba Legislature

Hey everyone!

I paid a visit to Winnipeg for the first time ever in April 2014! If you can believe it, it's only my second-ever visit to any Canadian city outside of Ontario! The first part of my photo tour covers the Manitoba Legislative Building, downtown, and the first of two Winnipeg Jets games at the MTS Centre!

Without further ado, let's begin!

After a 36-hour train ride to Winnipeg, arrived at Winnipeg's Gorgeous Union Station! Built in 1911.






Union Station, beau grand-arts structure.


The Historic Landmark Fort Garry Hotel, where I stayed for my time here. The Fort Garry is a chateauesque-style, a style made famous by architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, designer of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Built in 1913.

Entrance to the Manitoba Legislative Building


Inside, the building is absolutely spectacular, I even had the pleasure of seeing a Manitoba Legislative Assembly meeting in the gallery, I couldn't take pictures there for obvious reasons.
