Blue Convention
Blue 2022 Companion Package
Planned Companion Package
The Blue Convention 2022 Host Committee is excited to announce the framework of our Companion Program!
Our host hotel, the Delta, is conveniently located in downtown Winnipeg which makes it easy to get to and from a variety of exciting tourist destinations in the city.
Here’s what we have planned for any companions who are thinking of attending Blue Convention:
Friday April 15, 2022 (Good Friday)
Morning- Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Take a tour of one of only two national museums outside of Ottawa and be inspired by the human rights stories from across the globe and take in the building’s unique architecture.
Afternoon- The Forks National Historic Site & The Forks Market
Walk across to where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet at the Forks National Historic Site and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Forks Market atmosphere.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is only a 15 minute walk from the Delta, and it’s on the same site as The Forks National Historic Site. An alternative transportation plan will be arranged should the weather be less than ideal for walking.
Saturday April 16, 2022
Morning- Assiniboine Park Zoo
The main attraction at the Assiniboine Park Zoo is the award-winning Journey to Churchill polar bear exhibit and the Gateway to the Arctic, along with numerous other animal exhibits.

Afternoon- Thermea Nordic Spa
Thermea offers a beautiful restaurant for lunch as well as the full Nordic spa experience with a variety of indoor and outdoor thermal pools. It’s a great way to relax after a busy couple of days!
Transportation will be arranged via vans or buses for activities on Saturday.
Please note that costs associated with the Blue Convention 2022 Companion Program will be announced in early 2022 once prices and operating hours have been confirmed. There may also be an option to only attend part of the two-day itinerary. The Host Committee will be working with Tourism Winnipeg to take advantage of their ‘Delegate Discount’ and secure discounts at each of our stops with admission fees.
We are looking forward to hosting you and your companions in 2022, please feel free to reach out to Val Pelleck at vpelleck@hotmail.com if you have any questions!
