3 LEGENDS + TALES • Volume 8 • 2019/2020
Located at the geographic centre of Canada and North America,
Winnipeg is Manitoba's vibrant capital city. Bordered on either side
by Ontario to the east and Saskatchewan to the west, Manitoba is
considered the gateway to Western Canada and the heart of the nation.
The city has more than 6,000 years of history as a result of its
significance as an Indigenous meeting place. From the 17
th
to 19
th
centuries, the area flourished as the hub of Canada's fur trade and
then later again as a key site of early railroad development.
With a population of 753,700 (2018) culturally diverse people,
Winnipeg is a four-season destination with a cosmopolitan flair and
warm, welcoming spirit.
