✨ 7 Wonders of Manitoba Episode 6: York Factory ✨
Built on the peninsula of the Hayes and Nelson Rivers, this former HBC trading post was once the administration centre for HBC's fur trading network. The fort welcomes only a handful of visitors a year, making it a truly off-the-beaten path experience.
📍 York Factory is located on Treaty 5 territory.
--
As we all stay home and stay safe, we wanted to share an incredible documentary series that features seven of Manitoba's most outstanding sites.
Each site was selected for its unique natural features, geological history or the wildlife that inhabits it. The series made us feel at ease and inspired for the year to come - we hope it does for you too!
Please continue to follow all government guidelines and note there is currently a travel ban to northern Manitoba in place.

My ex-wife and I paddled (canoe) from the Forks dock in down town Winnipeg to York Factory. It was an incredible 7 week journey I will never forget. Arriving in York Factory on August 18, 2008 we were in awe with the building itself. The video does a great job capturing the wonder of the building but it must be said that this place would be nothing without the government funding and amazing caretakers and limited parks staff that call York Factory home for the summer. They were equally wonderful, Thank you.

Did you filmed your unique journey if so then it’s worth watching

@r37l36 3 года назад

Sadly I did not. I would do the trip again in a heart beat and would definitely capture the experience on video. The ex wrote a daily journal and we each have a copy.

@iGaRaai90 11 месяцев назад

Silly question, but how did you get back? Did you paddle against the current of the river ?

@r37l36 11 месяцев назад

Float plane to Gillam, then caught a ride with the in-laws home. Stopped in paint lake campground for one night to break up the trip back.

My great, great grandfather and his son used to ship iron parts for traps and ovens to the Factory from Upper Canada. They both died out there after an accident on the river. But, both had huge families back in Upper Canada and went on the build iron works in North York.

Back in the fall of 1982, i was offered the opportunity to be the winter caretaker of York Factory. I try to not regret turning it down to return to school, though--even then, knowing WAY too little about the experience of the local Cree (?) people--i couldn't imagine the place wasn't haunted.

@marilynanderson1276 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I grew up in the Morris Community. I remember my Mom, taking my brother, Barrie, and myself, by train to Elgin to stay with friends, and my Dad, Charlie Stevenson, and his brother, Bronson, stayed at our homes at Stevenson Nursery, during the 1950 flood. That flood lasted for many weeks, and it was many years before livelihoods were back to normal.

@johnbell5573 3 года назад

What an important piece of Canadian history this place is. A treat to see the film. The federal govt is very very remiss to allow it to decay as we saw evidence of in the film.

@elpistachio 3 года назад

Considering how this was all a financial failure and I'm assuming there was some negative treatment to first nations involved, I wouldn't be surprised if the goverment is hoping for it to disappear so that they can wash their hands of it.

I lived at York Factory many years ago. Built what was called Silver Goose Lodge a couple of hundred meters from the Fort. Built another Lodge at Mistigokan Creek (was known as Nanuk Goose Camp) a few years before Silver Goose. Spent a number of years there from May - Nov.Amazing experience.

@markanthony3275 7 месяцев назад

Before going to York Factory, I recommend a stop along the Hudson's Bay fur trading route at another fort much farther south...upper Fort Gary just 1/2 hour north of Winnipeg.

2:00 "45 miles an hour?" Come on, TravelManitoba. Translated into something that almost the whole world uses, _including_ Canada, that's 72.4 km/h. 3:50 It looks so weird seeing polar bears in an area like that. 4:35 Miles again I'd love to take the train up to Churchill, make my way to Prince of Wales Fort, and then somehow make it to York Factory. Manitoba's a very under-appreciated province. Greetings from British Columbia

@@ferretface1851 There was 4 of us we started at Norway House. And no we did not continue into the bay York factory was the destination. We got picked up there by the guy that delivers the supplies to the staff at York factory. He took us into the bay and up the Nelson River where I had parked my truck at the last hydro damn on the river. The bay was full of icebergs that was really cool to boat by. And the compound at York factory is full of artifacts and history. It's an amazing building and site. If it wasn't so hard to get to. It is such a significant spot in Canada's history. I'm glad that it made it onto this little RU-vid series.
