Doors Open Winnipeg 2021 Rescheduled!

Dear Doors Open Winnipeg Friends,

Heritage Winnipeg has just made the difficult decision to postpone Doors Open Winnipeg 2021, but on a positive note we are rescheduling the event, which will now take place on the weekend of September 11th and 12th, 2021.

After thoughtful consideration it has become clear that in light of these challenging times it is not possible to deliver our event on the original dates of May 29th and 30th, 2021. The safety of all our hosts, volunteers and guests is of the utmost importance and will always take top priority when planning Doors Open Winnipeg, making this postponement in the best interest of all.

Thank you for your understanding and support in these challenging times.

Stay home, stay safe, and we look forward to you joining us to celebrate the stories our buildings tell on September 11th and 12th, 2021!

Best Regards,
Cindy Tugwell
Executive Director
Heritage Winnipeg
