We are pleased to welcome you to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and invite you to visit our magnificent building, as there is so much to learn and discover. Guided tours of the Legislative Building are booked through the Visitor Tour Program and are offered in English or French. The Legislative Building was formally opened on July 15, 1920, the 50th anniversary of Manitoba's entry into Confederation. It was designed in 1912 by English architects Frank W. Simon and Henry Boddington III who won a British Empire competition over 66 other entries. The building is sheathed in Manitoba Tyndall limestone and is adorned with many allegorical works of art celebrating wisdom, justice, and courage. The Golden Boy atop the dome is symbolic of Manitoba’s eternal youth and progress. This is Manitoba's third Legislative Building, built after a period of extraordinary growth and development.
