Winnipeg unveils 150th anniversary graphic
The graphic features multiple symbols representing Winnipeg, including a prairie crocus (the provincial flower), the Red and Assiniboine rivers (which meet in the centre of Winnipeg) and an overlay of the city’s current footprint.

It’s enclosed by the outline of a turtle shell to represent Turtle Island and has other symbols representing the city’s Indigenous roots. Two footprints represent the path toward reconciliation.
A few things to celebrate here:
- It acknowledges reconciliation and celebrates not only the city but also it’s Indigenous history.
- It was created by an artist from Peguis First Nation.
- It wasn’t the result of an ill-conceived design contest.
- It looks really good.
