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. This year, David MacNair, Gary Tessier and Jacques Boulet— a trio of local artists known as ‘The Three Amigos’— have carved captivating snow creations.

Winnipeg winters are notorious for being cold, dark and seemingly everlasting. However, one doesn’t need to look far to find a local event, attraction or activity that embraces the coldest season and all that comes with it. One such popular event is, of course, Festival du Voyageur.

As a long-standing sponsor of Festival du Voyageur, Qualico Communities annually selects a prominent location to place one of the event’s famous snow sculptures. This year, because of their popularity, we decided to collaborate with local artists to offer not only one but five snow sculptures in our communities.
