We encourage delegates to take time before, during, or after the Summit to discover all that Winnipeg has to offer. Group hotel rates are available.
Trails and outdoor experiences
Winnipeg’s network of trails, parks, and green spaces makes it an ideal host city for the Summit. From scenic paths along the Assiniboine and Red Rivers to nearby sections of the Trans Canada Trail, opportunities for walking, cycling and exploration are always close at hand. Delegates can enjoy a morning stroll, a guided tour or simply take in the city’s natural beauty between sessions.
Dining
From casual spots to fine dining, Winnipeg offers options that highlight local flavours and international influences. Enjoy farm-to-table cuisine, sample dishes from diverse cultural communities, or visit the famous Forks Market — dining here is a chance to experience the city’s creativity and community spirit.
Arts and culture
Winnipeg has a rich arts and culture scene. Delegates can explore the Canadian Museum for Human Rights or Winnipeg Art Gallery, enjoy performances by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, or visit vibrant live music venues. With a deep Indigenous heritage and a thriving contemporary arts scene, the city offers many ways to connect with its stories, traditions, and creativity.
