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, you'll find
yourself 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.
