Why is there a sphinx on the roof of Manitoba's Legislative Building? Why is a mysterious black star set into its floor? And why did the YMCA once brand Winnipeg the wickedest city in Canada? On this 90-minute walking tour through the city's historic government district, you'll uncover the answers—and hear the outrageous-but-true stories the history books leave out. Meet the first mayor who kidnapped his own election opponent, the criminal who pulled off one of the biggest gold heists in Canadian history only to be foiled by a blizzard, and the police chief caught in his own brothel raid. Then step inside the Legislative Building itself—one of the most beautiful government buildings in North America and, according to some, a secret replica of King Solomon's temple, built with hidden symbols most visitors walk right past. Funny, surprising, and completely true, it's Winnipeg history told the way it deserves to be—at a relaxed pace, in small groups, with seating at most stops.
