The Victoria Inn and Conference Centre is the official host hotel for LipCanCon 2026 and the site of all conference programming. Staying onsite means you are steps from every session, workshop, and networking opportunity across both conference days.
For delegates joining us for pre-conference activities on September 9-10, staying at the Victoria Inn is especially convenient. Check in the night before, settle in, and arrive at the opening session ready to engage.
The Victoria Inn offers well-appointed guest rooms, full-service amenities, and the kind of comfortable, professional environment that lets you focus on what matters most: the science, the community, and the conversations that move lipedema care forward in Canada.

The Victoria Inn sits in a central, well-connected part of Winnipeg, putting the airport, surrounding amenities, and our conference gala venue all within easy reach.
The Victoria Inn is just minutes from Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, making arrival and departure straightforward whether you are travelling from across Canada or internationally. You can be checked in and settled well before the opening session begins.
The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada will host our conference gala on September 12. It's a 10-minute walk from the Victoria Inn, so no need for transportation. Enjoy the evening and stroll back at your leisure. A 2-minute cab/uber ride is also available for assistance.
Restaurants, pharmacies, coffee shops, and retail are all within walking distance of the hotel. Whether you need to pick something up before sessions begin or are looking for a quiet dinner after a full day, the Wellington Avenue corridor puts it all within reach.
Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba and one of Canada’s most culturally rich, historically layered, and genuinely surprising cities. Positioned at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, it has been a gathering place for over 6,000 years. If you have time before or after the conference, we encourage you to explore it. Here is where to start.
Where the Red and Assiniboine Rivers meet. Once a 6,000-year-old trading hub for Indigenous peoples, it is now home to markets, riverside trails, restaurants, and cultural spaces. A short drive from the Victoria Inn and an ideal starting point for exploring the city.
The first museum in the world dedicated solely to the history, evolution, and future of human rights. Its architecture is striking, and its galleries use art, film, and immersive storytelling to educate visitors of all backgrounds.
One of Winnipeg's most expansive green spaces, offering gardens, walking trails, and the renowned Assiniboine Park Zoo. Within the park, The Leaf is a year-round botanical conservatory with soaring glass pavilions housing tropical and Indigenous plant collections.
A designated National Historic Site and the cultural heartbeat of the city. Its turn-of-the-century architecture houses independent galleries, theatres, boutiques, and some of Winnipeg's most acclaimed restaurants. Also home to the Manitoba Theatre Centre and live music venues.
Winnipeg has quietly become one of Canada's most exciting culinary cities. The city's remarkable cultural diversity shapes a food scene that is genuinely unlike anywhere else. Indigenous cuisine, craft breweries, chef-driven tasting menus, and neighbourhood bistros all sit within reach.
Home to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the Manitoba Opera, and the Winnipeg Art Gallery, which holds the world's largest public collection of Inuit art. Whatever your cultural interests, there is something here that will resonate.
We are proud to bring Canada's first national lipedema conference to this city, and we look forward to welcoming you.
