This photo is of the June 1973 delegates safari at the old fort Garry wall and entrance, on Main street near the Forks, Winnipeg. Through the entrance there are people sitting and listening to a man talking into a microphone. The microphones are from radio station CFAM and CHSM. On the fort wall the inscription reads: "Near this site stood the following Forts: Fort Rouge, under La Verendrye, 1738; Fort Gibraltar, of the North West Company, 1810 became Fort Garry of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1822; replaced by Upper Fort Garry, of stone begun 1835, extended in 1850's when this gateway was erected, demolished 1882."
