Tansy goes down to The Forks
The Forks (of the Red River and Assiniboine River) is a big deal in Winnipeg. This is a fun place to take a tourist any time of the year because walking along the river is always fun, unless it is flooded and underwater. BUT! It is winter so Tansy can actually walk ON the rivers.
