Leigh Cochrane Memorial Visitor Center

Located at Fisher River Cree Nation, just two and a half hours north of Winnipeg, you will find the fabulous Leigh Cochrane Memorial Visitor Center. Nestled on the scenic Fisher River, the Center includes a log home surrounded by patio decks and an upper viewing balcony. You will also find a 317' memorial boardwalk that connects the Center to a massive log frame outdoor amphitheatre/stage. The Visitor Center showcases the community’s unique history and relationship with the land through various programs, activities, special events, and concerts. The Center is an integral component of a major cultural tourism development project involving the proposed Ochiwasahow (Fisher Bay) provincial park which consists of spectacular areas on Lake Winnipeg that include scenic forested shorelines and breathtaking islands.
