^ The world's entire supply of Crown Royal comes from Gimli, giving it great globally strategic importance.

Now that you mention it, it's interesting that more isn't made of that. I'm not saying I'd expect some huge Duff Gardens extravaganza, but just some sort of visitor centre that tells the story. Crown Royal has to be one of the most internationally prominent things made in Manitoba. But it's super low-key. Even walking around Gimli you see no signs of it anywhere except at the LC.

Even the building doesn't say anything... it's like some sort of top-secret military facility.
