On May 29 at 7PM, we’re hosting a Queer History Walk through downtown Winnipeg for Pride Month — and you’re invited.

Led by cultural historian Britt Bauer, this free walking tour will highlight locations in Winnipeg’s downtown and Exchange District that have been meaningful to the city’s 2SLGBTQIA+ communities over the years.


Britt, a queer and neurodivergent PhD student in classics and anthropology, is passionate about telling stories that haven’t always made it into the textbooks. From gathering places to safe havens, this tour uncovers the people, spaces, and resilience that have shaped our city’s queer history.

It’s not just a walk — it’s a way to connect with community, reflect on our shared past, and explore meaningful moments through your lens. Whether you’re snapping photos, shooting reels, or just soaking it all in, there’ll be no shortage of creative inspiration along the way.


✨ The Details:

  • It’s free!
  • No registration needed
  • Meet at Upper Fort Garry (130 Main St)
  • Starts at 7PM sharp
  • All are welcome
  • Bring comfy shoes and your camera or phone — there’ll be lots to capture


 Whether you come solo or bring a friend, this is a chance to connect, reflect, and walk through history together. We’re proud to support community-driven events like this and hope to see you there!
