Winnipeg is both the capital, and largest city of the province of Manitoba, Canada. Winnipeg, being in the centre of North America, is a natural trade hub. Winnipeg also boasts a thriving tourism industry (oddly enough). Winnipeg was the site of the 1999 Pan Am Games. The city is further known for its support of the Arts, and has a large Art Museum, as well as numerous theatres and playhouses.

Winnipeg, Manitoba is a small city (pop. 700 000 apx.) located in the center of Canada, it is the capital of the forementioned province and is also the 4th largest Canadian city. This however may change soon due to rapid growth of other cities such as Calgary and EdmontonAlberta. Winnipeg is best known for its cold (and I mean cold) winters with temperatures dropping below -40 degrees with windchill, for several weeks of the winter months. Winnipeg also recieves a great deal of snow due to the fact that it is surrounded by several huge lakes (Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg) as well both the Red River and the Assiniboine River running though the center of the city. In contrast however, the summers in Winnipeg are very hot; temperatures of 30 degrees Celcius are not uncommon in the months of July and August. Winnipeg has also been labeled a dangerous city in some respects as it has been the murder capital of Canada per capita several years in my recent memory. Dispite all this Winnipegers or winter pigs as they are so fondly called are friendly and welcome tourisim with open arms.
