About Winnipeg, MB

Manitoba's capital, rising from the prairies of western Canada, is a bustling city with a metropolitan population of about 600,000. Although today it is more sophisticated metropolis than pioneer outpost, the city has been a gathering place for thousands of years. Aboriginal peoples gathered at the Forks – the meeting point of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers – to trade and hold celebrations. Then, as Hudson's Bay fur traders moved west across Canada in the 1700s, the confluence became a convenient commercial centre, and the city slowly became a permanent settlement. Nowadays, the city's location near the geographic center of North America makes it a major player in shipping and transportation. People still meet at the Forks, but now they dine and shop in the historic Forks Public Market.
