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 767,500 (2021) culturally diverse people,
Winnipeg is a four-season destination with a cosmopolitan flair
and warm, welcoming spirit.
Economic Development Winnipeg acknowledges that we
are located in Treaty One Territory, the home and traditional
lands of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe), Ininew (Cree), and Dakota
peoples, and in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
Our drinking water comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, in
Treaty Three Territory.
