Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg
Sun peeks through the Winnipeg Human rights museum under construction Wednesday May 25, 2011. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights aims to increase understanding and awareness about human rights, human rights issues and challenges, promote respect for others, and encourage reflection, dialogue, and action.

More stock photos of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

As usual during my stock photo trips, getting the « business » side of the city was very important in Winnipeg. The capital of Manitoba host some major head offices, including the Great West Life Assurance Company, owned by Great-West Lifeco.

A grand total of 21 stock photos of the Great West Life Assurance Company headquarters (known more commonly as Great-West Life, and its official French name La Great-West, compagnie d’assurance-vie).
