The Forks

This is a photograph of the Forks.  Have you ever been to the Forks?  What did you do there?  Have you ever been inside the Forks Market?  Can you find it in this photo?  The Forks is where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet.  The Forks is important to Manitobans because it has been a place where people meet for thousands of years.  First Aboriginal Peoples and then fur traders would gather together at the Forks.  Today it is Winnipeg's most popular tourist spot.  Often the Red and Assiniboine Rivers flood the Forks.  Does it look like the rivers have flooded the Forks in this photograph?
