For the first time in its history, Hudson's Bay Company is putting its Royal Charter on public display.

The 350-year-old artifact will be placed in the HBC Museum Collection already housed at the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg beginning Saturday and will be on display through to early 2021.

The charter established the original framework for the company's governance and provided exclusive trading and land rights to the entire Hudson Bay watershed. Outlined in the charter, it gave HBC a trading monopoly for more than 40% of modern-day Canada. King Charles II named the area Rupert's Land after his cousin and the company's first Governor, Prince Rupert.

Public: 'No question' Singh is responsible for no movement in NDP support. Doh! Provincial politics is his forte. Mr Singh needs to stand behind his words and vote non-confidence in September. If he doesn’t then his words don’t mean anything. A person only has his integrity to stand on. Let’s see what kind he has.
