This is a correction for Steven Stothers of Winnipeg Trolley Company. When he reviewed the tour route for you near the end of his segment—at 12:35 of the podcast—he mentioned developments for the future provincial park at the site of the Upper Fort Garry, at the corner of Broadway and Main. He called it "Lower Fort Garry" by mistake.
The two forts are both located on Main St, but Lower Fort Garry is 30 km north of Upper Fort Garry. I'm sure it was a slip of the tongue, as he had been talking earlier about a tour guide who used to work at Lower Fort Garry.
Winnipeg lies upstream of Selkirk, hence the name Upper Fort Garry.
