 Hazelview’s Winnipeg communities are located in some of the most bustling areas of the city including the established St. Vital area and the heart of vibrant downtown Winnipeg.

Exchange District

The Exchange District in Winnipeg is a National Historic Site of Canada in the downtown area of the city. This section of the city is comprised of 20 city blocks and more than 150 heritage buildings. Guided tours of this area are broken down into the West Tour and East Tour. The West Tour is approximately 1.5 hours in length and highlights the history and architecture of the buildings on the West side of Main Street. Popular tour stops include Newspaper Row, turn of the century hotels, the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute and more. The East Tour is also approximately 1.5 hours in length and focuses on the history and architecture of structures on the East side of Main Street. Highlights include turn of the century banks, the Grain Exchange Building, Hell’s Alley and the newly developed Waterfront Drive. For information about scheduling and rates visit the Exchange District’s website. Hazelview’s 15 Arden Avenue community is only a ten-minute drive to the Old Market Square, the departing point for all Exchange District tours.

Public Art Bicycle and Walking Tours

This summer, why not spend some time learning about the artwork you likely walk or ride by every day? The Winnipeg Arts Council has commissioned free walking and bicycle riding tours of the city’s public art pieces including a variety of art installations and sculptures. Some works are fun, colourful and interactive whereas others encourage quiet contemplation. This is an informative excursion that helps you better understand Winnipeg’s public art, artists and the city itself. Bicycle and walking tours are available at varying levels of difficulty and around different parts of the city. For more information on tour dates and times visit the Winnipeg Arts Council website to book your tour.

North Point Douglas History Tour

North Point Douglas is an area rich in history that started as a traditional gathering place for Aboriginal tribes and later housed the first group of Selkirk Settlers in 1812. For many decades following the arrival of the Selkirk settlers, this area was considered to be one of the most prestigious locations in Winnipeg in which to live. North Point Douglas is situated on a stunning peninsula of land on the river, giving easy access to the Hudson Bay post for supplies, drinking water and transportation. The North Point Douglas Walking Through History Tour begins at the Ross House Museum in Joe Zuken Heritage Park and is approximately 45 minutes long. This tour is free and runs throughout the summer months. Hazelview’s Winnipeg community at 160 Smith Street is a five-minute drive or 30-minute walk from the Tour’s starting point at Joe Zuken Heritage Park.
