According to a recent Leger study, 55 per cent of Canadians plan to take a leisure trip, with 67 per cent intending to stay within Canada. Travel Manitoba and urban attractions like The Forks are launching targeted campaigns and seasonal programming to draw visitors seeking a blend of cultural city stops and northern wilderness adventures.

Our Involvement

Indigenous culture and tourism experiences are focal points of the province’s domestic travel draw. The story highlights major cultural programming at The Forks, including the ‘Many Nations, One Heartbeat’ celebration uniting communities from National Indigenous Peoples Day through Canada Day. As an urban gathering place and the home of ITM’s Explore Indigenous space, The Forks serves as a vital landing spot connecting domestic travelers to Indigenous-led operators, authentic workshops, and bucket-list northern adventures in Churchill.
