Manitoba Electrical Museum & Education Centre Travel through the pre-electricity days of the late 1800s to when electricity was first used in Manitoba.

The Manitoba Electrical Museum and Education Centre is committed to sharing the history of electrical development in Manitoba by providing a greater understanding of how energy is produced and delivered while promoting safe and efficient energy choices. Discover the beginnings of hydroelectric power in Manitoba and learn how generating stations are built in Manitoba. Don't forget to take a look at our display of electric appliances dated as early as 1908! See our new exhibit "Sustainable Development: Caring for Our Common Future" located downstairs. The exhibit illustrates how hydropower as a renewable energy source contributes to the goals of sustainable development for the safety of our planet and its natural resources. The exhibit highlights Indigenous voices and introduces concepts of sustainability, renewable resources, sustainable development, as well as the consequences of unsustainable development.

Who're You Gonna Call? The Ghostbusters, of course!
As the name implies, Winnipeg's Ghostbusters are a group of people who love to dress up as those iconic ghostbusters of movie fame.
However, they also love to raise money for charity. Starlight Children's Foundation is their current chosen charity. If you're coming to our ghostly fundraiser, Spirits in the Substation, on October 17 please consider supporting The Ghostbusters' efforts as well.

A list of all community events both organized and participated in by Ghostbusters franchises worldwide.
