Manitoba Legislative Building

The Manitoba Legislative Building is absolutely gorgeous. The architecture and design is fascinating, as is the history of the building.

Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and recent security incidents, the public access to the building has been strongly curtailed.

Self guided tours are no longer allowed. Visitors to the building must either have a pre existing appointment with an office inside or be part of a sanctioned tour group. Hourly building tours are still offered between Canada Day and Labor Day, and I believe drop ins are allowed to join these tours as long as they pass through security.

Photo ID is necessary to sign in and visitors are screened by metal detector. Visitors must remain with their group or be escorted to their appointments by staff from that office.

People wishing to watch the Assembly from the Gallery can still attend whenever the house is in session, but will have to go through additional screening and will still have to be escorted inside.

Still, it is a gorgeous building with a lot of history. Sad that public access has to be so limited, but if you have occasion to attend, it is worth seeing!
