Located at Fisher River Cree Nation, just
two and a half hours north of Winnipeg, you will find the
fabulous Leigh Cochrane Memorial Visitor Center. Nestled
on the scenic Fisher River, the Center includes a log home
surrounded by patio decks and an upper viewing balcony.
You will also find a 317' memorial boardwalk that connects
the Center to a massive log frame outdoor amphitheatre/stage.
The Visitor Center showcases the community’s unique
history and relationship with the land through various programs,
activities, special events, and concerts. The Center is
an integral component of a major cultural tourism development
project involving the Ochiwasahow (Fisher Bay) Park Reserve
which consists of protected areas on Lake Winnipeg that
include scenic forested shorelines and breathtaking islands. |
