Skinner’s

Skinner’s originated in 1929 when the owner Jim Skinner Sr. opened a small stand that sold 10 cent hotdogs and 5 cent fires. The stand was opened in a depressed economy which led to it gaining numerous loyal customers.

Since its opening, Skinner’s has become a part of a tradition for many families, many have passed on the tradition to visit the restaurant every Sunday with their friends and families.

The interior of the restaurant is inspired by an old retro theme which includes Jukeboxes, bright red seating and black and white checkered flooring.

The restaurant has come a long way from its original stand with its 10 cent hotdogs and 5 cent fries, but it continues to be a staple for the community of Lockport and those around it.

Skinner’s is located in Lockport in two different locations – one on River Road and the other on Highway 44.

Half Moon Drive-In

Their extraordinary hot dogs have been quoted as having Canada’s Best Hot Dog.

The Half Moon Drive-In originally opened in 1938 but had to close its doors in the spring of 1983.

It then reopened its doors at a location that is closer to the historic site of St. Andrews Lock and Dam. The new location is doing everything it can to maintain and continue the high standards that the original restaurant has established.

This location pays homage to its predecessor by having an exterior that replicates the original, continuing the retro theme, Half Moon Drive-In has a 50’s themed atmosphere.

They are known for their memorable hot dogs, burgers, ice-cold Pepsi, homemade fries, and ice cream treats and sweets.

Half Moon Drive-In is not only a perfect family destination for Manitobans but people from all around Canada.

St. Andrews Lock and Dam

St. Andrews Lock and Dam is the largest structure of its kind in the world!

St. Andrews Lock and Dam opened by former Prime Minister Sir Wilfred Laurier in 1910 in Lockport, Manitoba.

It was designed by H.E. Vautelet, an engineer from Montreal, so boats could easily navigate from Lake Winnipeg to the City of Winnipeg. For this to happen the Lister Rapids is flooded throughout the months of May to October.

The Lock and Dam is operated and maintained by the Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), the facility consists of a dam, navigation lock, two-lane traffic bridge and a fish ladder so that migrating fish can pass through.

The Gothic Revival style of the house is architecturally distinctive, compared to the homes in the Red River Settlement. The house is one of the seven remaining houses of its kind along the Red River.
