Winnipeg has played host to major athletic events
including the PanAm Games, which has left the city
with a rich legacy of top-rated recreation facilities for
swimming, speed skating, cycling, yachting, canoeing,
kayaking, rowing, athletics, soccer and more.
Six per cent of Winnipeg's total area is made up of more
than 1,500 parks, playgrounds and athletic fields. We have
four community parks and recreation branches that offer
between 6,000 to 10,000 programs annually.
SAFETY
Clean air and water are no longer something to be
taken for granted, even in Canada. In Winnipeg, smog
is virtually non-existent and clean, abundant, clear
water is readily available.
Manitoba's clear skies are another benefit of the
province's clean source of electricity, almost entirely
produced by water-powered non-greenhouse gas
producing hydraulic generating stations.
