General presentation
Thompson and Pisew Falls
Northern town and powerful Grass River Falls open onto Manitoba's boreal forest.

Together, they form a destination where urban life, riverscapes, forests and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
