Five members of the Trappist Order from the Abbey of Bellefontaine, France created the Monastery in 1892. The Monastery was moved to Holland, Manitoba in 1978. In 1983 it was burned down. The Heritage Park now shows the ruins of the Monastery and an adjacent guest house.

Did a short video for a school project with some friends of the St. Norbert Monastery in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park). Watch in 1080p.
Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park
The architectural ruins of Our Lady of the Prairies recall an earlier time when monks of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, called Trappists, lived in the quiet confines of the surrounding monastery. The monks pursued a life of prayer, work and contemplation, according to the Rule of St. Benedict.
For 86 years, from its establishment in 1892, the monastery thrived in this secluded location along the LaSalle River. The Trappists' move in 1978 to a new site was prompted by urban encroachment, an intrusion into their life of peaceful solitude.
Fire gutted the vacated church and residential wing in 1983.
Under the ARC Program, building remnants were stabilized, the grounds were landscaped and interpretive signs were installed along paths. The setting has been used for special events like the popular Shakespeare in the Ruins.
Park Directions
In St. Norbert, just south of the Perimeter Highway; turn west from Pembina Highway (PTH 75), just north of the LaSalle River.
Engagement photos at the St. Norbert Provincial Park in Winnipeg | Aileen & Jeremy
Photos & Text by Tony
Jeremy, Aileen and I had planned their engagement shoot a long time ago. They love history, so it seemed fairly natural to land on doing the shoot at the St. Norbert ruins. It came as quite a shock to us when we rolled up for sunset, and the building was packed with Shakespeare fans. Conveniently, we were not too far from St. Norbert Provincial Heritage Park aka Winnipeg’s Other Forks, and good take advantage of the beautiful sunset we were having.
Aside from the flocks of mosquitoes feasting on Jeremy, we had no other hiccups. We came out with some beautiful photos.

Trappist Monastery Ruins - St Norbert, Manitoba
This clip was filmed at the Trappist Monastery Ruins, about 10 minutes from our home. It's like some-body cut out an itsy bitsy chunk of England and Quebec and transplanted them on the banks of the Red River on Manitoba prairies. The original scores were Gregorian chants, however these work just fine. Maybe better. I'll be doing more stuff in this location, for all 4 seasons, some similiar, some different as well as in some other plans I have.
LOUIS RIEL PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AND BURIAL SITE AT ST. BONIFACE CATHEDRAL - BASILICA WINNIPEG MB.
SONG - Long Road Ahead by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a CC Attribution 3.0.
Esplanade Riel is a pedestrian bridge located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was named in honour of Louis Riel.[
It is a side-spar cable-stayed bridge which spans the Red River connecting downtown Winnipeg with St. Boniface, and it is paired with a vehicular bridge, the Provencher Bridge. The bridge includes an architectural composite tower that is prestressed with a cantilevered and stayed semi-circular plaza area at the base of the tower. The plaza provides space for commercial activities and as well as a restaurant
The Esplanade Riel is the only bridge with a restaurant in North America The Esplanade Riel has become a landmark and is used in many promotional materials.
NOTABLE PEOPLE BURIED IN THE CATHEDRAL ARE;
Louis Riel, (22 October 1844 -- 16 November 1885)) was a Canadian politician, a founder of the province of Manitoba, and a political and spiritual leader of the Métis people of the Canadian prairies.Louis Riel, Métis leader, founder of Manitoba,Riel was a central figure in the NORTH-WEST REBELLION (b at Red River Settlement [Man] 22 Oct 1844; d at Regina 16 Nov 1885). Riel was educated at St Boniface and studied for the priesthood at the Collège de Montréal. In 1865 he studied law with Rodolphe Laflamme, and he is believed to have worked briefly in Chicago, Ill, and St Paul, Minn, returning to St Boniface in 1868.
Ambroise-Dydime Lépine (18 March 1840 -- 8 June 1923) was a military leader of the Métis under the command of Louis Riel during the Red River Rebellion of 1869-1870. He was tried and sentenced to death for his role in the rebellion and for the execution of Thomas Scott, but his sentence was commuted by Governor General Lord Dufferin. He is buried in the churchyard of the St. Boniface Cathedral next to Riel.
Following his arrival, the next known explorer was Pierre La Verendrye. He came with a party of more than 50 men in 1732.
On Sept 24, 1738, middle-aged explorer Pierre La Verendrye arrived at the Forks. La Verendrye was born in Three Rivers, Quebec on Nov 17, 1685. The family name was actually Gaultier and they had been land owners in France.
At age 53, he set up Fort Rouge, at the south point of the present site of the Forks, which is thought to have been the first European building in Winnipeg. He also established Fort La Reine on the current site of Portage La Prairie. He chose this location because it was a quick Portage up to Lake Manitoba.
St. Boniface Cathedral-Basilica Parish within the Archdiocese of Saint Boniface since 1818, Mother Church of Western Canada and historical site of Manitoba
The first church on the site was founded by Fr. Norbert Provencher, a priest and future bishop, who ordered its construction in 1818 in the form of a small log chapel. In 1832 Bishop Provencher built the first cathedral but on December 14, 1860, a fire destroyed the first building. In 1862, Bishop Alexandre Antonin Taché rebuilt the cathedral in stone.By 1900, St. Boniface was the fifth largest city in the West and needed a larger cathedral. Local contractors Senecal and Smith were engaged to build a new cathedral to plans by Montreal architect Jean-Omer Marchand.On August 15, 1906, Monsignor Louis-Philippe Adelard Langevin dedicated the cathedral, which became one of the most imposing churches in Western Canada.
On July 22, 1968, the 1906 cathedral was damaged in a fire, destroying many features including the rose window. Only the facade, sacristy, and the walls of the old church were saved and stored.
In 1972, a new cathedral, designed by Étienne Gaboury and Denis Lussier, was built behind the 1906 façade.
The Institute for stained glass in Canada has documented the stained glass at St Boniface Cathedral

Pinawa Dam Drone Flight - Pinawa, Manitoba, Canada
A short edit of a flight I did in late summer. Located on the Winnipeg River, Pinawa Dam was Manitoba’s first hydro-electric generating station. Pinawa Dam was developed in response to the demand for residential and commercial power and was crucial to the rapid growth of Winnipeg in the pre-war years. The station began delivering power in 1906 and was closed in 1951 to allow the full flow of the Winnipeg River to serve the Seven Sisters Hydro Station built downstream. It is now the Pinawa Dam Provincial Heritage Park, and trails have been made so that the public can explore the site. All video was taken with DJI Phantom3 and edited with iMovie on Macbook.
