About this place The Hill (Legislative Grounds)

"The Hill" is the riverbank below the Manitoba Legislative Building, sloping down to the Assiniboine and Red rivers. For decades it was Winnipeg's best-known cruising ground for men, and local queer-history projects have documented it from at least the mid-20th century onward. The area also has a long record of anti-gay assaults and of police surveillance. In the app era there is much less activity. If you go, don't go alone after dark, stay in lit areas and keep your phone charged. Public sexual activity is illegal in Canada. This listing records a historically significant place; it is not a recommendation to cruise there.

Beautiful groundwork done by the ground crew well Clean lots of benches grass is always cut. Hedges are always trimmed. Flowers are always fresh watered ground crew is kind. I personally haven’t been inside the building in a decade, but I go on crossing the grounds quite often if not 3 to 5 times a week and even though there’s construction, it’s still very well kept beautiful place great vibes wonderful people along the river you can run into the few shady types of people, but as long as you’re polite and respectful and reckon, everybody has even equal their I haven’t had any problems. In fact I’ve met some beautiful people that could be misunderstood for shady but are genuine if given the chance. Treat others as thy wish to-be treated, thus such as how it’s shall be sown.

Just like the Bombers football field when compared to the Riders, the legislature shows constraint in spending on the extravagance. After my recent tour of both Manitobas and Saskatchewans legislatures I see that in Sk we spend lots of money on the things that don't add true value to the purpose of serving the province. Kudos Manitoba
