Comments

Winnipeg, capital of Manitoba, has historically been one of Canada's more diverse cities, with a particularly large Métis (mixed white/native) and Native American population complementing its mixture of many European ethnic groups and modern immigrants from all over the world. It was one of the first major settlements to be founded during the rush to settle the Canadian West.

10 of these tokens exist with a dot next to the Fort Garry gate - anyone who could find one of these tokens would be eligible for a fabulous prize.
