Winnipeg winters can be long and cold, but they can also transform the city into a creative playground. We have seen skating trails & snow mazes become popular attractions for locals to engage in and embrace the season. However, the creativity of winter in Winnipeg could not be complete without one of the most beloved traditions - the annual Festival du Voyageur snow sculptures.

As a reoccurring annual sponsor of Festival du Voyageur, Qualico Communities proudly supports local artists in bringing ideas come to life through the art of snow sculpting. With the demand & popularity it has cumulated over the years, we’ve once again collaborated with acclaimed sculptors to create five snow sculptures across our communities.
