Before Stevenson Field opened in 1928 – now known as the Winnipeg James A. Richardson International Airport – commercial aviation was taking off all over Winnipeg! Come join us at the Millennium Centre to learn how the beginnings of commercial aviation in Winnipeg connect to many of the city’s architectural and other designated historic sites. It will be a sneak peek at the upcoming “Winnipeg Aviation Heritage Virtual Tour” – a self guided tour – with the tour creator there to tell you all about it!
The “Winnipeg Aviation Heritage Virtual Tour” is now available for you to explore the roots of commercial aviation in our city! Click the link below:

You will also want to stay and explore this magnificent heritage building, the former Canadian Bank of Commerce, designed by renowned architects Darling and Pearson. It has been beautifully conserved and reborn as an event venue. The exquisite spaces of the main floor will be open, including the monumental granite and marble banking hall, vault, Tapestry Room (former bank manager’s office) and some other fascinating corners! No need to register to see the building – it is open to everyone.
