Winnipeg is a vibrant city with small-town charm and big-city amenities. Around every bend of this river city awaits a new experience. Manitoba’s capital is beautiful and affordable — an ideal place to live, learn and grow. 

The Four Seasons

Part of the uniquely Winnipeg experience is enjoying Manitoba’s four seasons: photograph the autumn leaves while hiking the trails of Assiniboine Park, sip warm cider after skating along the snow-capped banks of the Red River, picnic under a canopy of lilac blossoms while observing the migration of Canadian geese, or enjoy the sun and surf of our world-class beaches.

Sports 

Sport Manitoba offers many activities for keen sports enthusiasts, but if cheering on the home team is your preference, don’t miss Winnipeg Jets hockey, Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball and Winnipeg Blue Bombers football. 

Parks and Historical Sites 

The meeting place of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers is the “birthplace” of Winnipeg. This site, now known as The Forks, is steeped in history and tradition and continues to promote Aboriginal heritage throughout our energetic city. Parks and trails mark the urban and rural landscape while offering endless entertainment. Be sure to tour the St. Boniface Basilica, the Legislative Building, Fort Gibraltar or Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. There’s always something new to explore.
