Congratulations!

?Announcing our winner for this year’s #DoorsOpenWinnipeg social media contest, Cassidy! ?

We love that you had a fun (and spooky ?) time learning about Winnipeg’s history during Doors Open Winnipeg. Congrats, Cassidy! ✨?

 


I love #DoorsOpenWinnipeg because we get to learn not only facts, but stories about the buildings and land we grew up on. Learning how people used to live and their connections with each other.

As an added bonus I get to scare the ? out of @feniuk by making him come into a haunted jail and take a selfie in an old jail cell while his skin is literally about to crawl off his body?

See Cassidy’s winning entry on Instagram!

Thank you to everyone that entered the contest and to our contest sponsors for their amazing prize donations!
