Manitoba Legislative Building

Tel: 204-945-5813 Web: Visit this site »
 

The Manitoba seat of political power is accessible to anyone. Visitors can sit in on government proceedings and then take a guided tour of the complete structure. The tour includes a look at the magnificent Grand Staircase, the Rotunda, as well as the various chambers of the dignitaries of this province. The building was completed on July 15, 1920 and the structure is impressive. It stands 72 meters above the ground with a provincial symbol, the Golden Boy, crowning the dome of the building. The park-like grounds are expansive and are a great place to have a picnic or sit and read a book.

  • The "Grounds" are beautiful.
  • But there is not nearly enough seats for visitors, other than at the grounds at the rear exit.

“The problem is, that there are not enough benches throughout the legislature grounds area, especially in shaded locations. Most of the sparse number of benches which were previously located on the legislatures grassy areas have been removed Those remaining are of poor construction and are in a bad state of repair, some are even dangerous. The serviceable benches on the south side of the building, as well as those on the promenade, are all located in areas without shade, therefore, are unsuitable for people with a low tolerance to sun exposure. It is inexcusable for such a wonderful location to be so devoid of places for members of the public to sit. If we are to encourage more tourism in the city, those responsible should be ever in touch with not only the needs of local citizens, but with visitors to our city who are likely to wander about our downtown places of interest without having to compete with other weary wanderers for the single seat located at the west side of the legislature building.”
