Winnipeg was the first city in North America
to build a freestanding ice-climbing tower.
The 20-metre-high column, first built in 1996,
stands within sight of downtown Winnipeg and
is open to experts and newcomers. Every winter
it is built, flooded and maintained by the Club
d'escalade Saint-Boniface.
The sun was shining a
little too brightly during
The Heritage Classic, an
outdoor NHL hockey game
held at Winnipeg's Investors
Group Field between the
Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton
Oilers in October 2016,
causing the game to be
delayed for over two hours.
Sun glare off the ice created
unsafe conditions for players.
The Pan American
Games, which are second
in scale only to the
Olympics, have been
held in Canada three
times, twice in Winnipeg,
in 1967 and 1999. *
