There's nothing quite like the May long weekend to wake up the sleepy summer towns of Manitoba. That's not to say that Wasagaming isn't also a bustling area in winter - it is - but there's something undeniable about the energy that summertime brings. Add in an abundance of activities and events and you've got yourself one heck of weekend. Let the FOMO begin: here's what you missed this May Long in Clear Lake Country ! 

This week will be a bit of a short one, thanks to the long weekend, which, hopefully, we all took some time to enjoy. And yes, usually a short week means there’s a bit more to get done in a shorter space of time, but hustle and bustle we must, and taking a moment to stop and enjoy a few awesome happenings should also be a must. Here’s what’s hot this week in Manitoba.

If you’ve ever taken your kids to the Children’s Museum located at The Forks in Winnipeg, then you will have been asked multiple times when you will be returning.

The room goes dark, a rattle shakes, and the rhythmic beat of a drum begins. Then comes the enchanting song, “Spirit of Life”, gifted to the guides by Dakota elder, Henry Skywater. The song embodies the very circular and cyclical journey that is life. This marks the beginning of the Mikinak-Keya Spirit Tour at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

La Poutine Trail , ou, en français, le sentier de la poutine, c’est comme une véritable chasse aux trésors.

A chaque fois, c’est comme une surprise. On ne sait pas à quoi s’attendre et l’on n’est pas déçu, vous le verrez !
