Spring in Winnipeg Manitoba 2009

The Red River Floodway is an artificial flood control waterway in Manitoba. It is a 47 km long channel which, during flood periods, takes part of the Red River's flow around the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba to the east and discharges it back into the Red River below the dam at Lockport. It can carry floodwater at a rate of up to 2,550 cubic metres (91,700 cubic feet) per second. It was built partly in response to the disastrous 1950 Red River flood.(Source: Wikipedia)

Red River Ex

Red River Ex is an annual mobile amusement fair that takes place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The park is operated by the Red River Exhibition Association, a not-for-profit organization. The Ex was started in 1952 at the Osborne Stadium/Amphitheatre complex near the Manitoba Legislative Building. It later moved to the Polo Park Race Track and then to the Winnipeg Stadium, Winnipeg Arena, and Winnipeg Velodrome facilities.

These are some of the fun activities that were there in 2008 June.









If you are planning to come by bus, Winning Transit offer Express Service on Portage Avenue right to the front gate of the Ex. Check the Winnipeg Transit web site for routes and schedules. Over 30,000 guests take the bus to the Ex each year. It is the best and easiest way to get here, especially on weekends. Click logo below to see Red River Express Service Map.
