Until January 7, 2018, the Legacies of Confedera- tion: A New Look at Manitoba History exhibit features iconic artifacts and specimens relaying the effects of Con- federation on the Red River people and the land that would become Manitoba. From September 27 to October 15, two exhibits, Eyes on the Arctic and Northern Stars, focus on historical and modern stories of Indigenous groups, revealing their adaptability, the global sig- nificance of the region, and the important cultural connections and institutional ties between the U.S. and Canada. From October 28 to November 5, Journey of a Lifetime explores the seminal role the railway colonist sleeper car played in opening our country to settlement. Upcoming October events include World Space Week and Indigo Arrows. manitobamuseum.ca TRAVEL GALLERY >> BY CYNTHIA DAVID DS A ir Canada is adding new non-stop international routes for the winter season.

With the watch-like TapuTapu, included with admission, guests can virtually wait in line for rides while enjoying other areas of the park and be alerted when it's their turn. The device can also be used to pay for all purchases in the park and offers interactive experiences like controlling the streams of water spurting from whales or shooting water cannons at guests snaking down the Kopiko Wai Winding River. universalorlando.com COURTESY UNIVERSAL ORLANDO COURTESY LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA/C-006688D T here'll be no post-holiday blues for rock fans thanks to three explosive five-day music cruises that set sail from Florida in early 2018.
