Winnipeg isn't one of the big 3 in Canada (Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver). Winnipeg is often too cold and occasionally too hot. The tourism activities aren't as obvious. But Winnipeg can be a fun travel destination.
The city of Winnipeg and its people got a lot of notice and publicity from the exciting hockey run this spring for the Winnipeg Jets. The Winnipeg Whiteout inside Bell MTS Place and the even larger crowd outside the arena looked great on television. NBC even carried 2 games in Winnipeg, a first for the Jets in recent memory.
Winnipeg has been on display in recent times from the 2015 Women's World Cup to the 2016 Heritage Classic to the 2015 Grey Cup. The Forks area is really nice. The Canadian Museum of Human Rights was a meaningful stop. St. Boniface has a French twist to the Prairies. Watch a CFL game where the fans are passionate.
So to honour the recent success of Winnipeg in the spotlight, we have a few articles from the archives spotlighting an interesting place that is Winnipeg. And save some room for Saskatoon berry pie.
