If we cannot build in this forest, how do we intend to cater to the eco-tourism trade? [...] with all the winter roads, mining and existing hydro lines in the area, I don't understand why a right-of-way width of only 66 metres can't be accommodated, especially if it could save Manitobans billions.

Portugal has become a year-round destination for Canadians with significant growth in visitor numbers from here over the last few years. It offers an excellent opportunity for long-stay guests, with a range of availability in condo-type units. Even though Manitobans seem to select the Algarve region for the most part, there are many other areas in which to stay and explore. Lisbon itself is a fascinating city. It has a huge area closed to traffic which draws thousands of visitors and locals daily. Shopping and dining options are close at hand to satisfy most tastes and budgets. Most Canadian long-stay visitors find the temperatures quite satisfactory over the winter. December and January can be coolish. However, by the end of February day temperatures are usually quite pleasant, even...

Following a hugely successful inaugural event, organizers of the International Metisfest are expecting it to be bigger and better this year. About 7,000 people, from both Canada and the United States, took part in the 2009 Metisfest. "We're going to double that and there's a possibility of tripling it," says Dan Goodon, one of the organizers for the 2010 Métisfest, which will be staged Aug. 26-29. As was the case for the inaugural event, this year's Métisfest will be held at the International Peace Garden, which is situated on the Canada/United States border between Manitoba and North Dakota. The purpose of Métisfest is rather simple - to bring Métis people together to revel in their cultural and historical ties while enjoying plenty of entertainment such as fiddling, jigging and dancin...

UNESCO was concerned that new development around both buildings could spoil their skylines.
