Testimonials

“In 2010, The Royal Canadian Legion came home to Winnipeg, the birthplace of our organization, for our 43rd Dominion Convention. What a homecoming! The city and its people rolled out the red carpet and warmly welcomed all Legionnaires. With the first-class facilities at the Winnipeg Convention Centre and the excellent hotel properties throughout the downtown core, together with the outstanding support from Tourism Winnipeg, a successful convention was all but guaranteed before we even arrived. Thank you, Winnipeg.”
“As a Convention destination, Winnipeg’s marketing strength lies in its facilities and people – first-class all around”
