The Forks

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks has been a meeting place for more than 6,000 years. A tradition that began with First Nations peoples, followed by European traders and the Red River Métis—and later with surges of immigration and rail yards—the history of The Forks tells the dynamic tale of how Winnipeg grew into the beating heart of the continent.
