Winnipeg, the dynamic capital of Manitoba, is a culturally diverse city. It is also referred to as the ‘Gateway to the West’ due to the benefits of its location. The city is home to over 700,000 inhabitants accounting for about 54% of the total population in Manitoba. It is one of Canada’s major cultural centres.
Winnipeg has a continental climate with long and snowy winters. It has been touted as the coldest city in the world. In contrast, summers are hot and humid with spring and autumn being variable and short. Snowy winters are famous with the city often being referred to as ‘Winterpeg’.
In the past, Winnipeg has battled many odds like the floods of 1997 and World War II, to re-emerge as a growth-based city. Today it is an important centre of trade and industry.
