The Natural and Unnatural History of Bison in Manitoba – Not the Same Old Story. What more could there be to know about bison in Manitoba? Did you know that as many as five species of bison have wandered across the province over the last 40,000 years, or that Manitobans were instrumental in saving the Plains bison from extinction?
Using examples from specimens held at the Manitoba Museum, Dr. Randall Mooi, Curator of Zoology, will explore the unique and sometimes quirky history of these magnificent animals through the fossil record to today. He will also give you a brief introduction to bison-related elements of the recently renovated Prairies Gallery at the Museum.
Time: Meet in the parking lot at 10:45 PM, departing at 11:00 AM. The parking lot is located just south of the La Salle River bridge on the east side of Waverley, half-way up the hill. Parking is also available across the road.
Description: We will hike along the Camp Amisk trail beside the La Salle River for approximately 2 hours (round trip time). Snowshoes may be an option depending on the pack of trail. There are toilets in the park across the road. We may consider lunch afterward at Leopold's Tavern Winnipeg - Bridgwater, 350 North Town Road.

“No garden, however small, should contain less than two acres of rough woodland”. Lord Rothschild.
Even if your garden is not up to his standards, it can still be a valued home for birds. Some will be resident and a surprising variety will use it on migration. A few may stay to breed and some hardy species may overwinter. This workshop will allow you to identify your visitors and provide advice on making your garden more welcoming.
Time: 10:00 AM. The tour will last for about an hour.
Description: Facility tours provide a behind-the-scenes look at Royal MTC. You will gain a unique perspective on how they produce the plays you see on stage. Tours may visit the carpentry shop, wardrobe, props department, rehearsal hall, and more. There is a lot of stair climbing during the tour.
