The Manitoba seat of political power is accessible to anyone. Visitors can sit in on government proceedings and then take a guided tour of the complete structure. The tour includes a look at the magnificent Grand Staircase, the Rotunda, as well as the various chambers of the dignitaries of this province. The building was completed on July 15, 1920 and the structure is impressive. It stands 72 meters above the ground with a provincial symbol, the Golden Boy, crowning the dome of the building. The park-like grounds are expansive and are a great place to have a picnic or sit and read a book.
