#ExploreMB: The best of June

Our amazing community and ambassadors didn’t waste any time diving into summer (often, literally). The Assiniboine Park Zoo bustled with visitors who stood in awe under the incredible tunnels of the Journey to Churchill exhibit. Winnipeg’s ice cream shops had a rush of customers in line for sweet treats, while newcomers (The Common) drew crowds into The Forks. Our lakes were a huge pull for photographers who jumped in, soared above and paddled out for the perfect shot. Here’s the best from our #ExploreMB feed in June…
