Canada Life Centre Parking & Directions

Canada Life Centre sits on Portage Avenue between Hargrave and Donald in downtown Winnipeg, and it publishes a route in from all five directions plus the airport — each one written to the corner of Donald Street and Portage Avenue, where the main entrance is. Winnipeg Transit reaches it with as many as 58 routes, which the arena splits into ones that always run and ones to confirm first.

Driving

The arena is on Portage Avenue between Hargrave Street and Donald Street, with the main entrance at the corner of Donald and Portage. From the airport, go east on Wellington, right onto King Edward (Route 90 South), left onto Ellice Avenue and right onto Donald Street. From the west, Trans Canada Highway 1 East becomes Portage Avenue (Route 85 East) straight into downtown. From the south, Highway 75 becomes Pembina Highway (Route 42 North), which becomes Donald Street over the Donald Street Bridge, then left onto Portage Avenue. From the east, take Route 135 West to Dunkirk Drive (Route 62 North) through Osborne Street and Memorial Boulevard, then right onto Portage Avenue eastbound. From the north on the Perimeter Highway, turn south on Main Street (Route 52 South) then right onto Portage Avenue westbound.

Public Transit

Winnipeg Transit runs up to 58 routes serving the arena. The ones the arena lists as running for all events are Routes 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 33, 38, 44, 45, 47, 55, 60, 66, 160 and 162/170; a longer list of variable routes may not run at all times and should be confirmed before you travel. The arena publishes no stop name, so check winnipegtransit.com or call 311 for the stop and fares.

Rideshare

Uber/Lyft or Unicity Taxi drop-off is on Hargrave Street near the arena entrance. Expect moderate waits after games.
