On This Spot
This free smartphone app allows visitors to create then-
and-now photos on two historical walking tours. Examine
the city's boomtown from 1870-1912 or explore Winnipeg's
history from 1913-1945, a period marked by strife,
depression and war. At each stop users find themselves
standing in the exact spot as the person who took the
historic photograph so you can compare what the city
was then and how it is today.
