The Warming Huts Competition returns for its 2025, seeking three teams that will be selected as winners for their submissions of designs for a warming hut or art installation. Winning entries will be placed along the Nestaweya River Trail located on the Assiniboine and Red rivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
