Doors
Open Winnipeg 2008 will be presented by Heritage Winnipeg,
in addition to numerous other organizations, volunteers and
sponsors, that help help make the Doors Open event possible.
Doors
Open provides a unique
cultural and educational experience. For one weekend of the
year, the public is invited to enter built heritage treasures,
cultural institutions and other buildings of interest that
would not normally be open to the public, completely free
of charge. Doors Open is a collaborative effort between the
business and heritage communities, creating dynamic new partnerships
and promoting civic pride in the built environment and heritage
resources.
In
its four years, Doors Open has attracted over 140,000 site
visits to Winnipeg's built heritage treasures and cultural
institutions. The opportunity to enter our architectural
legacies proved to be a fantastically popular attraction to
a curious public, and the response to the event has been overwhelmingly
positive and encouraging. Moreover, it introduces and
informs about Winnipeg's architecture, history and diverse
cultures -- completely free of charge. The event features
buildings primarily in the downtown and in surrounding neighbourhoods.

History
of Doors Open:
Doors
Open originated in France in
the mid-1980s and became part of European Heritage Days in
1991.
Since
then, the number of participating countries increased from
11 to almost 50, and the number of visitors reached the 20
million mark in 2000. Building on the European success, New
York City, Sydney, Australia, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil recently
launched their own Doors Open programs. The Doors Open phenomenon
came to Canada when Toronto began an annual event in 2000,
attracting 76,000 visits to over 90 buildings. Annual events
are now held in Ottawa, Calgary, St. John’s, and Brandon;
and the Ontario Heritage Foundation has helped 27 communities
throughout the province establish their own events.

Government
of Canada Announces Funding For The Heritage Winnipeg Virtual
Library
WINNIPEG, November 21, 2003 – Regional Minister for
Manitoba and Member of Parliament (Winnipeg North–St.
Paul) Rey Pagtakhan, on behalf of Minister of Canadian Heritage
Sheila Copps, today announced $334,761 in funding for the
Heritage Winnipeg Corporation, to help finance the Heritage
Winnipeg Virtual Library/Interactive Guide.
"I am pleased to announce funding for this project,
especially today on the 25th Anniversary of the Heritage Winnipeg
Corporation. Heritage Winnipeg will work with several partners
to tell online the important story of Winnipeg's place in
the history of our country," said Minister Pagtakhan.
"This project will share Winnipeg's pivotal role in Canada's
development as a nation with students and all Canadians, as
well as people around the world."
The Heritage Winnipeg Virtual Library/Interactive Guide will
be a free, bilingual online archive of photographic images,
video, architectural drawings, maps and documents from the
Heritage Winnipeg Corporation, the Province of Manitoba Archives,
the University of Manitoba Archives and the City of Winnipeg
Archives that relate the history of Winnipeg's built heritage
and its relation to Canadian history. The new Web site and
its content will guide the user through historical content
on the buildings, characters, and events that created one
of Canada's most unique and culturally significant areas,
and played a critical role in both the development of the
West and the growth of the nation.
Financial assistance is provided by the Department of Canadian
Heritage through the Partnerships Fund component of its Canadian
Culture Online Program. The goal of the Partnerships Fund
is to encourage the creation of partnership initiatives between
not-for-profit organizations across Canada and partners from
the private and public sectors in the digitization of cultural
collections for presentation online in a manner that specifically
targets youth. The Heritage Winnipeg Corporation formed a
partnership with eight organizations and businesses to undertake
this project.
For more information about the Canadian Culture Online Program,
please visit http://www.canadianheritage.gc.ca
Funding for this project was provided for in the February
2003 federal Budget.
