GIVE GENEROUSLY

Support the work of the MTHA with a generous gift.

The Manitoba Transit Heritage Association, Inc. (MTHA) was established on July 21, 1989 by a group of dedicated Winnipeg Transit employees and retirees interested in preserving, recording, and sharing transit history.

The MTHA is a membership-based museum and registered tax charitable organization whose volunteers continue to restore and operate the largest collection of authentic vintage transit vehicles in the Province of Manitoba. We provide these historically accurate vehicles for appearances in movies and television, and together with our Transit Museum Bus bring the story of public transportation to schools and other community events for public education and enjoyment.

North Pole Express in Santa Claus Parade

The 2024 Manitoba Hydro Santa Claus Parade was held on Saturday, November 16, 2024. This family-friendly and fun tradition is the unofficial kick off to the holiday season for many Winnipeggers as bright floats and marching groups bring the festive holiday vibes to the city.

Returning for the first time in five years, the Manitoba Transit Heritage Association in cooperation with the fine folks at Winnipeg Transit brought the 61 NORTH POLE EXPRESS back to the parade.

Enthusiastic MTHA & Transit volunteers proudly showcased our brightly decorated 1971 General Motors vintage transit bus #751 along parade route on Portage Avenue for spectators young and old to enjoy.
