The Lesser Known: A History of Oddities from the Heart of the Continent

The Lesser Known, by Darren Bernhardt, features one of Shayne Thiessen’s photos, from his journey down the Dawson Trail, while exploring the story of Manitoba’s lost gold.

In The Lesser Known, Darren Bernhardt shares odd tales lost in time, such as The Tin Can Cathedral, the first independent Ukrainian church in North America; the jail cell hidden beneath a Winnipeg theatre; the bear pit of Confusion Corner; gardening competitions between fur trading forts and more.
