Manitoba's cosmopolitan capital, Winnipeg, is Canada's seventh largest city
located in the South of the central province of Manitoba. Known for its blue
skies and year round sunshine, for its beautiful parks, its rivers and its warm
hospitality, the city is the gateway to the Canadian West and is the economic,
social and cultural hub of central Canada.
Located at the junction of the Red and the Assiniboine rivers (the Winnipeg
district known locally as "The Forks"), traversing downtown Winnipeg
requires many bridges. Long before Confederation, long before the arrival of
Europeans, The Forks was an important Canadian crossroads.
Today, The Forks National Historic Site and the surrounding area continue to be
a meeting place, attracting thousands with beautiful scenery, interpretive
displays, boutiques, restaurants, an indoor food market, a children's museum and
a popular independent league baseball park.
A local bear named "Winnipeg" was taken to London
during World War I as a military mascot and inspired the famous A.A. Milne
character Winnie the Pooh. Catch Pooh at Assiniboine Park. MORE

Manitoba?s modern capital city of nearly a quarter of a million people still
has functioning stockyards, railroad depots and grain elevators, testimony to
its historical role as a distribution and supply center, first for furs and then
for agricultural products. There are magnificent examples of nineteenth century
architecture on a grand scale, dating from the time when Winnipeg rivaled
Chicago as an economic power in the North American mid-west. In the
not-so-distant past, the Red River - whose origins lie in the Mississippi -
served as an important shipping route to and from the United States.
Visitors can see one of the world's largest collections of modern Inuit Indian
art, hit the jackpot at one of two casinos, see some of Canada's finest examples
of turn-of-the-century architecture, visit the mint to see how coins are made,
meet at The Forks and discover the adventurous history of the fur-trading
voyageurs. Afterward, they can dine indoors or out in charming multicultural
neighborhoods.
Winnipeg is a major head office location, particularly in the financial services
sector and is home to Canada's largest life insurance company, Canada?s
largest mutual fund company, and its only commodities exchange. The city boasts
a symphony orchestra that was enthusiastically received in New York City, the
first Royal ballet company in the British Commonwealth and a magnificent theater
and arts complex.
This robust city is a meeting place for the finest aspects of the cultures that
together built Winnipeg: English, French, Ukranian, Russian, and many other
Eastern European nationalities, Asian, Caribbeans and others blend melodiously
within the commerce, arts, festivals and cuisine of Winnipeg. Its cultural
offerings include ballet, theater, symphony, opera, and more than 130 days of
entertaining festivals year round.
