Last night we went skating on the river! The Forks in Winnipeg is a tourist and shopping area that is located at the forks of the Red and Assinaboine River and it has been a meeting place for thousands of years. The city has worked on grooming the ice on the river into the longest natural ice skating location in the world. The girls were excited to have skated a round trip total of about 14 km.
We warmed up in the coffee shop afterward with hot chocolate and pastry treats.
The following video was produced a year ago by Rick Mercer who is a Canadian Comedian/ interviewer. It is a bit tongue in cheek but it really seems to show the flavor of the River Trail mixed with an assortment of factual information. The winning entries of the international warming shelters architectural competition are of course different this year.
