Explore Manitoba: Old Fort Garry Gateway
By admin
The gate’s history is one of rejection and threatened destruction and its existence today, as the centerpiece of Fort Garry Gateway Park on the east side of Fort Street, seems due more to luck and happen stance than civic planning. The last remnant of Upper Fort Garry, which was dismantled in 1881-1882, the gate is a shell structure. The only decoration on its bare stone walls are commemorative plaques by the Canadian Club of Winnipeg and the Historic Sites Advisory Board of Canada.

Quest of Human Exploration of the New World Leading to Canada
By admin
At this point a new age indeed had opened up for the modern day explorers. In the “celestial empire’” and the streets of Canton and Ranking were loudly stirring in the rustle and great wealth of the silk trade and trades. A flare with both yellow and scarlet. as in the days of the great explorer Marco Polo. It was the time of the reign of the almost dull Ming emperors. For it was now that a new age had opened . It would leave at rest neither venerable civilizations nor the primitive wildness of what would become British North America , later Canada. The men of Europe in 1612 had for over a century been almost rifting the”New World” for its precious metals and the ancient East for its silks and spices. Yet human nature being what it is in the minds of explorers and rulers , none were all too happy or even satisfied.
