Canadian Legislature

We started out the day by visiting the Winnipeg Legislature. This beautiful building was built in 1913 and is a significant landmark that stands tall in downtown Winnipeg. We had the chance to tour inside, seeing the Grand Staircase, the Rotunda, and the Pool of the Black Star. On the top of the building, standing 17 feet tall is the Golden Boy. Made of pure gold, this statue is a trademark of the Winnipeg Legislature.
