And remember to dress warm – lots of layers and good footwear!

Snowshoe Saturdays

Head out on a guided tour of FortWhyte by snowshoe to experience areas which are unreachable in summer. That New Year’s Resolution to stay active? They got you covered.

The Tragically Hip

Gone with the Wind at MTC

Jan 10 to Feb 2 | Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre
Catch the epic romance Gone with the Wind at MTC this winter and watch as southern belle Scarlett O’Hara’s pampered life of parties and petticoats is threatened by the devastation of the American Civil War. Don’t forget your tissues.

The River Trail

Spend an afternoon or evening enjoying some of Manitoba’s diverse arts offerings. Here are a handful of great exhibitions you don’t want to miss this month.

Ice fishing

Grab your friends, rod, and auger and head out to your favourite place to ice fish. If you’re looking to create a unique fishing experience this winter, check out our listing of Manitoba lodges and outfitters.
