Episode Details

Winnipeg’s water-bus service is back—and bigger than ever! After a summer hiatus, The Forks’ iconic river cruises are now powered by a brand-new, 10-meter custom vessel, costing $200K and named after the co-owners’ fathers. Designed for comfort and accessibility, it carries up to 30 passengers with a bathroom, bike racks, stroller space, and pet-friendly features. Running Wednesdays through Mondays with multiple downtown stops and live tracking, the service offers flexible fares including day passes and monthly options. Originally launched in 2024 with smaller boats, demand outgrew capacity—delaying the new boat’s debut until this year due to Transport Canada approvals and river conditions. Operators rave about the serene, wildlife-filled experience, while The Forks sees it as a vital community connector, just like their winter trails. Expect the service to run at least through Labour Day weekend.
