I'm not really interested in going to the zoo to see plants.... sounds like a waste of money.. they should invest in indoor exzibits that house more variety of animals.
Can't we have a conservatory because it's pleasurable to look at trees and flowers, particularly in the winter -- rather than having to pretend that doing so is somehow going to change our lives and save the world?
The new building does look nice.

I like where it'll be. It will replace the Formal Gardens and the old, run down shelter and washrooms in that area. I wonder what they'll do with all those busts of notable people.
Wanted to add the Map here Rypinion..as others have already mentioned, it's an excellent location on the opposite side of the park from the zoo, this was always one of the less used areas of the park..this incorporates the plan into the current boundries to a tee...
Nice to here, Assiniboine Park Pavilion getting a $2M 3rd floor gallery reno with other additions to the 2nd floor and restaurant.
Always enjoyed the Pavilion,the restaurant and brunches in the atrium. Beautiful setting and a wonderful building over all.
This is great news I love going to Assiniboine park with my family.Also any more news about the Conservatory I have not been able to find much about
is on google.
$15M was pledged by the current government on Jan.16th of this year toward the final phase of the project. Where the fundraising and timetable stand as of today, I'm not sure.
We'll see what happens when the Provincial Elections are over
Cheyenne [Thomas], who is a graduate of the University of Manitoba's environmental design program, is part of the new generation of Indigenous designers.
"I don't think that it's about teepees or turtle shaped buildings. I feel like that's another stereotype," said Cheyenne. "Indigenous design is modern, it's sustainable, it's our values that are still there as Indigenous people. It's ownership to all of these deep rooted connections with the land."
