1987 – Paddlewheel Queen River Boat Pin ($5.00 each)
The Paddlewheel Queen once adorned every tourist brochure promoting Winnipeg and half the postcards — the other half featured the Golden Boy.
The sternwheeler with the spinning paddle blades in back — rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river — was the iconic image of Winnipeg. TV commercials about the city were guaranteed to have at least one shot with a cruise ship navigating our winding rivers.
At one time, five cruise ships plied the Red River: the Paddlewheel Queen, the Paddlewheel Princess, the River Rouge, the MS Lady Winnipeg and the MS Lord Selkirk II. There almost wasn’t room for them all. They passed each other going up and down the river and checked out how many passengers each boat had. It was a point of pride to have more passengers.
They are all gone now. The Paddlewheel Queen last ran in 2013. The only place to see them today is wedged into the muddy banks in sloughs along the Red River just north of Selkirk.
The Paddlewheel Queen, the most stately and elegant of all the cruise ships, is currently being dismantled. It’s almost sacrilege to say, but the decks and stern wheel are to be demolished. It’s being converted into a flatbed barge. It will have a second life transporting goods in northern Manitoba.
1988 Grant’s Mill Pin ($1.00 each)
A grain mill was operated at this site on Sturgeon Creek in what is now the St. James area of Winnipeg, between 1829 and about 1832, by Metis leader Cuthbert Grant. The first water mill in Western Canada, a working recreation of the mill building was erected at the site in 1974 as part of Winnipeg’s centennial celebrations. Its one-foot thick logs came from Gypsumville and its stones from quarries at Garson.
1989 Year of the Panda Pin ($5.00 each)
In 1989, two Giant Pandas were loaned to the Assiniboine Park Zoo by China. The pandas were a big tourist attraction. Merchandise of all kinds was produced to celebrate the visit of the Pandas including many souvenir pins. Our club decided to take advantage of the big demand for Panda pins by producing a club pin of our own.
1990 Old Winnipeg Street Car Pin ($5.00 each)
On September 19, 1955, the Greater Winnipeg Transit Commission operated its last street car in the Winnipeg Area. The last Street Cars were paraded on Main Street with the lead car painted with a crying face and the phrase “We’ve had it!” above the windows.
1991 Upper Fort Garry Gate Pin ($1.00 each)
The Upper Fort Garry Gate has been surrounded by hustle and bustle for over 150 years. Today, as part of an urban park, it stands a stone’s throw from several of Winnipeg’ busiest streets. One hundred and fifty years ago, it watched over the growing Red River Settlement and represented the Hudson’s Bay Company’s political power.
Built in the mid-1850s, the Gate originally anchored the timber walls of the north half of the expanded Fort. These oak walls were over ten feet high and three feet thick. The gate mixes several architectural styles. The notches in the top might remind you of castle towers and reflect aspects of Norman architecture. The rounded archway entrance resembles forms used in Italy during the Renaissance. These decorative details show that the fort was built not only to be practical, but also to be impressive and dignified.
1992 Old Winnipeg City Hall Pin (Sold Out)
Designed in less than a month by Winnipeg architects Barber and Barber, and built between 1883 and 1886, the old City Hall was constructed amidst a storm of scandal and controversy. Considered beautiful by some, ugly by others, it was the focus of many civic events. The “Gingerbread City Hall” was demolished in early 1962 to make room for the present structure.
Royal Canadian Mint Pin (Sold Out)
The Royal Canadian Mint’s Winnipeg location is a world leader in circulation coin design and innovation. Established in 1976 as a high‑tech, high‑volume manufacturing facility, every single Canadian circulation coin is produced here, as well as circulation coins for countries from around the world.
1994 Assiniboine Park Zoo Pin (Sold Out)
Assiniboine Park Zoo is an 80-acre zoo at the west end of Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It has been best known for decades for its polar bear exhibit, of which the old enclosure was replaced in 2013 with Journey to Churchill.
Established in 1904, it is managed by the Assiniboine Park Conservancy, and accredited by the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).
In 2023, the 130 Million dollar facility known as The Leaf opened at Winnipeg’s Assiniboine Park. The new massive horticultural attraction is open to residents and visitors. “The Leaf” is surrounded by approximately 30 acres of new gardens and greenspace. It features more than 12,000 trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plant life that can be viewed in four different biomes.
1995 Countess of Dufferin Locomotive Pin (Sold Out)
It was displayed in various locations until 1977, when George Richardson and the CPR spent a considerable amount of money to fully restore the Countess of Dufferin. The locomotive now resides in the Winnipeg Railway Museum located on tracks 1 and 2 in Via Rail Union Station in downtown Winnipeg.
1996 Polar Bear Pin ($5.00 each)
It is estimated that the polar bear population of the western Hudson Bay area, an area extending from the Manitoba-Ontario boundary through to Chesterfield Inlet in Nunavut, is approximately 935.
The majority of the population spends most of the year, from mid-November to mid-July, on the ice of Hudson Bay. Pregnant females are an exception to this, spending from mid-November through to March in maternity dens on land, and then moving to the sea ice with their cubs. From mid-July through to mid-November the entire population is forced onto adjacent coastal lands as the ice disappears. The greatest concentrations during this time period occur between the Nelson River and the town of Churchill.
High demand is seen for tourism operations in the Churchill area for access to world-class polar bear viewing opportunities. The number of commercial tour operators and the number of vehicles permitted on the high-use areas east of the townsite continues to be restricted. Measures are also taken to restrict travel to existing trails, designate some areas as off-limits, and more actively enforce the prohibition on baiting.
In December 2009, Manitoba announced a $31 million investment towards the creation of an International Polar Bear Conservation Centre at the Assiniboine Park Zoo.
1997 Winnipeg Skyline Pin – 10th Anniversary of the Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club (1987 – 1997) ($5.00 each)
This pin features an outline of Winnipeg’s skyline.
1998 Golden Boy Pin ($1.00 each)
The Golden Boy (official name: Eternal Youth and the Spirit of Enterprise) is a northward-facing statue perched on the dome of the Manitoba Legislative Building in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Arguably the province’s best-known symbol, the statue was modeled after the Roman god Mercury (Greek: Hermes) and is meant to represent the prosperity and entrepreneurial spirit of Manitoba.
The statue depicts a nude young man running forward carrying a torch in one hand and a bundle of wheat in the other.
Weighing 1,650 kilograms (3,640 lb), it stands 5.25 metres (17.2 ft) tall from the toe to the top of the torch, and 4.27 metres (14.0 ft) from head to toe. When first installed, the tip of his torch—at 77 metres (253 ft) above ground—was the tallest point in all of Winnipeg.
With the exception of several months in 2002 when the statue was lowered for restoration (including regilding), the Golden Boy has stood atop the Legislative Building since its opening.
1999 Red River Cart Pin ($5.00 each)
The Red River cart was used by Metis people on the Plains through most of the 19th century to carry goods, including bison meat, to and from hunting and camping, and later, farming sites. During the fur trade, Red River carts gradually replaced York boats as the main method of cargo hauling because they could carry more goods overall. In addition to its use as a transportation vehicle, the Red River cart served as a temporary home during long trips.
Red River carts are an important part of Metis culture as well as of the history of early Manitoba. Proudly presented on various Metis flags and logos, the Red River cart represents the craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit of the Métis people. Red River carts can still be seen on display at a variety of museums, parks and cultural centres across the country.
2000 Manitoba Millenium Pin (Sold Out)
This pin represents Manitoba’s 100th birthday.
2001 Manitoba Scene Pin ($1.00 each)
This pin depicts a typical scenic view of Manitoba’s countryside.
2002 The Forks Market Pin ($1.00 each)
The Forks (French: La Fourche) is a historic site, meeting place, and green space in downtown Winnipeg located at the confluence of the Red River and the Assiniboine River.
The Forks was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1974 due to its status as a cultural landscape that had borne witness to six thousand years of human activity. The site’s 5.5-hectare (14-acre; 0.021 sq mi) grounds are open year-round. The Forks Market in Winnipeg is a historic and popular destination, offering a variety of food vendors, shops, and artisans. It’s known for its diverse culinary options, unique boutiques, and a vibrant atmosphere. There is a popular riverwalk and a river taxi at The Forks.
2003 Hotel Fort Garry Pin ($1.00 each)
The Fort Garry Hotel—officially the Fort Garry Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre — is an early-20th-century hotel in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, that opened for the first time on December 11, 1913. Built by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, it is one of Canada’s grand railway hotels and the only surviving remnant from that era in Winnipeg.
It was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981, and as a Manitoba Provincial Heritage Site in 1990. A national heritage park connected to the hotel and to the remains of Upper Fort Garry was completed in 2017-2018.
2004 Timber Wolf Pin ($1.00 each)
The wolf, also known as the gray wolf or grey wolf, is a large canine native to Eurasia and North America.
Wolves had been absent from Yellowstone National Park for more than 70 years when they were reintroduced in the 1990s – and their return had some surprising benefits.
Wolves were once the top predator in America’s world-famous Yellowstone National Park. But the population was eradicated in the 1920s, leaving the wilderness wolf-free for seven decades. In 1995, however, wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone from Canada; this gave biologists a unique opportunity to study what happens when a top predator returns to an ecosystem. They were brought in to manage the rising elk population, which had been overgrazing much of the park, but their effect went far beyond that. The Nature Conservancy’s lead scientist Dr M Sanjayan, Dr Valerie Kapos of the UN Environment Programme and animal behaviourist Kirsty Peake describe how the returning wolves dramatically changed the park’s rivers, forests – and the landscape itself. They had a very positive effect. The wolves brought back the balance of nature between predator and prey.
2005 Bald Eagle Pin ($5.00 each)
The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle, which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.
2006 Bison Pin ($1.00 each)
Bison are large, even-toed hoofed mammals. Two subspecies of bison exist in North America: the plains bison and the wood bison. Historically, the plains bison lived primarily in the Great Plains of central North America, while the wood bison lived further north, from Alaska into the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, and in the northern portions of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, it’s estimated that plains bison numbered 30 million and wood bison 170,000. Various aspects of European colonization led to the rapid depopulation of North America’s bison. By the late 1800s, plains bison no longer existed in Canada, and wood bison numbered about 200. Conservation efforts in both Canada and the United States mean that today, North America’s plains bison population fluctuates between 350,000 and 400,000, and wood bison between 5,000 and 7,000.
2007 Black Bear Cub Pin – 20th Anniversary of the Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club ($5.00 each)
The American black bear, also known as the black bear, is a species of medium-sized bear endemic to North America. It is the continent’s smallest and most widely distributed bear species. The American black bear is an omnivore, with a diet varying greatly depending on season and location. It typically lives in largely forested areas but will leave forests in search of food and is sometimes attracted to human communities due to the immediate availability of food.
2008 Snowy Owl Pin ($1.00 each)
The snowy owl, also known as the polar owl, the white owl and the Arctic owl, is a large, white owl of the true owl family. Snowy owls are native to the Arctic regions of both North America and the Palearctic, breeding mostly on the tundra. It has a number of unique adaptations to its habitat and lifestyle, which are quite distinct from other extant owls. One of the largest species of owl, it is the only owl with mainly white plumage. Males tend to be a purer white overall while females tend to have more extensive flecks of dark brown. Juvenile male snowy owls have dark markings that may appear similar to females until maturity, at which point they typically turn whiter. The composition of brown markings about the wing, although not foolproof, is the most reliable technique to age and sex individual snowy owls.
2009 Racoon Pin ($1.00 each)
The racoon is a mammal native to North America. It has a body length of 16 to 28 inches and a body weight of 11 to 57 lbs. Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates it against cold weather. The animal’s most distinctive features include its extremely dexterous front paws, its facial mask, and its ringed tail, which are common themes in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas surrounding the species. The racoon is noted for its intelligence, as studies show that it is able to remember the solution to tasks for at least three years. It is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates, 33% plants, and 27% vertebrates.
The original habitats of the racoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability, they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, racoons are now also distributed across central Europe, the Caucasus, and Japan.
2010 Red Fox Pin ($1.00 each)
The red fox is present across the entire Northern Hemisphere including most of North America, Europe and Asia, plus parts of North Africa. Red foxes are usually found in pairs or small groups consisting of families, such as a mated pair and their young, or a male with several females having kinship ties. The young of the mated pair remain with their parents to assist in caring for new kits. The species primarily feeds on small rodents, though it may also target rabbits, squirrels, gamebirds, reptiles, invertebrates and young ungulates. Fruit and vegetable matter is also eaten sometimes. Although the red fox tends to kill smaller predators, including other fox species, it is vulnerable to attack from larger predators, such as wolves, coyotes, golden jackals, large predatory birds such as golden eagles and Eurasian eagle owls, and medium- and large-sized cats (not domestic cats).
2011 Loon Pin ($1.00 each)
Loons are a group of aquatic birds found in much of North America and northern Eurasia.
Loons, which are the size of large ducks or small geese, resemble these birds in shape when swimming. Like ducks and geese, but unlike coots and grebes , the loon’s toes are connected by webbing. The loons may be confused with the cormorants, but can be distinguished from them by their distinct call. Cormorants are not-too-distant relatives of loons, and like them are heavy-set birds whose bellies, unlike those of ducks and geese, are submerged when swimming. Loons in flight resemble plump geese with seagulls‘ wings that are relatively small in proportion to their bulky bodies. The bird points its head slightly upwards while swimming, but less so than cormorants. In flight, the head droops more than in similar aquatic birds.
2012 – 25th Anniversary of the Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club Pin (1987 – 2012) ($1.00 each
The pin has a unique shape with multiple arms radiating out. The logo of the pin club can be found in the centre of the pin.
2013 Grizzly Bear Pin ($1.00 each)
Grizzly bears are some of the largest subspecies of brown bear, only being beaten by the Kamchatka brown bears and the Kodiak bears. Grizzly bears vary in size depending on timing and populations.
The largest populations are the coastal grizzlies in the Alaskan peninsula, with males weighing 858 lbs and females weighing 456 lbs.
The populations in northern interior Canada are much smaller, with males weighing 306 lbs and females weighing 209 lbs.This is actually similar to the American black bear population of the area.
Average total length in this subspecies is between 78 inches and 94 inches with an average shoulder height of 40 inches and hindfoot length of 11 inches. Newborn bears may weigh less than 18 oz.
2014 Beaver Pin ($1.00 each)
Beavers are large, semiaquatic rodents of the Northern Hemisphere. Beavers are the second-largest living rodents, after capybaras, weighing up to 110 lbs. They have stout bodies with large heads, long chisel-like incisors, brown or gray fur, hand-like front feet, webbed back feet, and tails that are flat and scaly. Beavers can be found in a number of freshwater habitats, such as rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. They are herbivorous, consuming tree bark, aquatic plants, grasses and sedges.
Beavers build dams and lodges using tree branches, vegetation, rocks and mud; they chew down trees for building material. Dams restrict water flow, and lodges serve as shelters. Their infrastructure creates wetlands used by many other species, and because of their effect on other organisms in the ecosystem, beavers are considered a keystone species. Adult males and females live in monogamous pairs with their offspring. After their first year, the young help their parents repair dams and lodges; older siblings may also help raise newly-born offspring. Beavers hold territories and mark them using scent mounds made of mud, debris, and castoreum—a liquid substance excreted through the beaver’s urethra-based castor sacs. Beavers can also recognize their kin by their anal gland secretions and are more likely to tolerate them as neighbors.
2015 Dragonfly Pin ($1.00 each)
A dragonfly is a flying insect. About 3,000 extant species of dragonflies are known. Most are tropical, with fewer species in temperate regions. Loss of wetland habitat threatens dragonfly populations around the world. Adult dragonflies are characterised by a pair of large, multifaceted, compound eyes, two pairs of strong, transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly’s compound eyes have nearly 24,000 ommatidia each.
Dragonflies are predatory insects, both in their aquatic nymphal stage (also known as “naiads”) and as adults. In some species, the nymphal stage lasts up to five years, and the adult stage may be as long as 10 weeks, but most species have an adult lifespan in the order of five weeks or less, and some survive for only a few days. They are fast, agile fliers capable of highly accurate aerial ambush, sometimes migrating across oceans, and often live near water. Dragonflies make use of motion camouflage when attacking prey or rivals.
2016 Monarch Butterfly Pin ($1.00 each)
The monarch butterfly is among the most familiar of North American butterflies and an iconic pollinator,although it is not an especially effective pollinator of milkweeds. Its wings feature an easily recognizable black, orange, and white pattern, with a wingspan of 3.5–4.0 inches.
2017 Ladybug Pin ($1.00 each)
Ladybugs are oval beetles with a domed back and flat underside. Many of the species have conspicuous colours and patterns, such as red with black spots, that warn potential predators that they taste bad. They prey on insects such as aphids, thistle tortoise beetles, and scale insects. Other species are known to consume non-animal matter, including plants and fungi.
2018 Bumble Bee Pin ($5.00 each)
Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their roles in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey.
2019 Cougar Pin ($5.00 each)
The cougar also known as the panther, mountain lion, catamount and puma, is a large cat native to the Americas. It inhabits North, Central and South America, making it the most widely distributed wild, terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere, and one of the most widespread in the world. Its range spans the Canadian Territory of Yukon, British Columbia and Alberta provinces, the Rocky Mountains and areas in the Western United States. Further south, its range extends through Mexico to the Amazon Rainforest and the southern Andes Mountains in Patagonia. It is an adaptable, generalist species, occurring in most American habitat types. It prefers habitats with dense underbrush and rocky areas for stalking but also lives in open areas. The cougar is largely solitary. It is an ambush predator that pursues a wide variety of prey. Ungulates, particularly deer, are its primary prey, but it also hunts rodents. It is territorial and lives at low population densities. Individual home ranges depend on terrain, vegetation and abundance of prey. While large, it is not always the dominant apex predator in its range, yielding prey to other predators. It is reclusive and mostly avoids people.
2020 First Train to Churchill Pin ($5.00 each)
On May 23, 2017, Churchill became isolated from the rest of the world for a period of 18 months when the railway line leading to the town was flooded and washed out due to the Spring snow melt. Eventually with financial support from the Federal & Provincial governments, the town of Churchill, Manitoba, 1st Nation Reserve Communities and a large Corporation from Saskatchewan, the rail line and shipping port were eventually purchased by a consortium of all of these groups. On October 31, 2018, the rail line repairs were finally completed at a cost of many millions of dollars. This meant that essential supplies and tourists could again go to Churchill by rail. The town is famous for its polar bears, beluga whales and Northern Lights tours.
Large numbers of the citizens from the town came out to greet the first freight train when it finally arrived in Churchill from Winnipeg during the evening of October 31, 2018. The Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club is very fortunate to have Bob McLeod, a very gifted artist, as one of its members. He is the one who drew the original artwork for our 2020 club pin. Instead of having townspeople greet this first freight train, Bob thought of the novel idea of having a polar bear greet the freight train’s engineer while holding a “Welcome to Churchill” sign in its two front paws. Incorporated in this design is the celebration of Manitoba’s 150th Anniversary as a Province. Manitoba became part of Canada in 1870. Special Note: In 2018, the very popular tourist travel website named “Lonely Planet” selected Manitoba as one of the top ten destinations to visit in the entire world for world adventure travellers. This was mainly due to the popularity of the town of Churchill. People come to Churchill in the Fall to mainly see their polar bears and beluga whales.
2021 Steam Engine Locomotive Pin ($5.00 each)
The first locomotive to be constructed in Canada was built by the James Good family (1853) of Toronto. Named Toronto, the locomotive had a set of 4 driving wheels and 4 small front wheels for better travel through curves. This wheel configuration, 4-4-0, was referred to as the American type and was the predominant style of locomotive during the 1850-90 period. By 1887 the Canadian Pacific Railway owned nearly 400 of these locomotives. The Pacific locomotive was introduced in Canada in 1905 to provide faster service for passenger trains. This locomotive had larger cylinders than the American, greater boiler capacity and tremendous hauling power. During the first part of the 20th century locomotives continued to grow in size and power output.
2021 Breakfast Club Four Pin Set ($20.00 for the set)
The Breakfast Club theme celebrates the weekly breakfast get togethers that many club members participated in starting back in the year 2005. The title “Breakfast Club” was given to our group by our Australian pin club member, Keith Bartlett from Sydney, Australia.
2022 Red Headed Woodpecker – 35th Anniversary of the Winnipeg Pin Collectors Club Four Pin Set ($20.00 for the set)

2023 White American Pelican Pin ($5.00 each)
The American white pelican is a large aquatic soaring bird. It breeds in interior North America, moving south and to the coasts, as far as Central America and South America, in winter. A large flock of these beautiful birds can be seen at the locks in Lockport, Manitoba.
2024 Perigrine Falcon Pin ($5.00 each)
The peregrine falcon is a bird of prey. It is a crow-sized falcon, with a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head and “moustache”. It can go at up to 322 km/h (200 mph) in a dive, which means it is the fastest animal in the world. As with other bird-eating raptors, the female is bigger than the male. There are 17–19 subspecies recorded, and each varies slightly in appearance and where they live. This beautiful bird is considered to be an endangered species.
2024 – 150th Anniversary of Winnipeg Four Pin Set ($20.00 for the set)
In 2024, Winnipeg marks 150 years as a city. The City of Winnipeg will officially mark this milestone on January 19, 2024 – the anniversary of the first meeting of City Council. Thereafter and throughout the year, it will mark Winnipeg 150 with a series of community events and celebrations. November 8, 1873 will always hold a special meaning. It’s on this day in 1873 that the City of Winnipeg was incorporated. At the time, Winnipeg covered an area of roughly five-square kilometers and had a population of around 2,000.
The City dates itself back to 1874 rather than 1873, because that’s the year it held its first election and held its first meeting of City Council.
Winnipeg took a big step as a fledgling city 150 years ago on January 5, 1874 when it held its first civic election.
In light of rigid rules around who was eligible to vote in 1874, only 398 people, or about 20 per cent of the population of the time, met the qualifications.
- As per the last census, the wider Winnipeg Metro Area population is 778,489 – this includes the city and surrounding areas. In total, the city of Winnipeg makes up more than half of the population of Manitoba (the Province’s population is 1.3 million) and 2% of the population of Canada (36 million). The city has an area of 464.08 square kilometers (179.18 square miles). Winnipeg has four major rivers: the Red, Assiniboine, La Salle and Seine.
The four different pin backgrounds represent: (1) Cloudy day (2) Night Time (3) Sunny day (4) Sunset. The artwork features the Red River in the foreground with the Human Rights Museum, Esplanade Riel pedestrian suspension bridge and the Winnipeg skyline in the background.
