Winnipeg is a major Canadian city, and the capital of the province of Manitoba. Located in Western Canada, near where the Canadian Shield meets the Prairies, Winnipeg plays a prominent role in transportation, finance, manufacturing, agriculture and education. It is known as the Gateway to the West, and was historically known as the "Bullseye" of the Dominion and "Heart of the Continent", due to its critical location on the Canadian transportation network.
The city is located near the geographic centre of North America. It lies in a flood plain at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers and started around the point now commonly known as The Forks. It is protected from flooding by the Red River Floodway. Winnipeg is one of the coldest large cities in the world and has the coldest winters of any city of over 500,000 population in the Western Hemisphere. It is by far Manitoba's largest city with a population of 619,544 people (2001 Canadian Census). The Winnipeg Census Metropolitan Area (which includes Winnipeg and surrounding rural municipalities) has a population of 706,900 (Statistics Canada, July 1, 2005 estimate).
Winnipeg offers an abundance of recreational opportunities as it lies in close proximity to hundreds of lakes including Lake Winnipeg, the world's eleventh largest lake, Lake Manitoba, and Lake of the Woods. The city is one of Canada's major cultural centres and is home to the world-famous Royal Winnipeg Ballet. It boasts historic architecture, scenic waterways, and several attractive bridges. Winnipeg hosted the Pan-American Games in 1967 and again in 1999, the only city besides Mexico City to have hosted the event twice.
A resident of Winnipeg is known as a Winnipegger.
In 1738, the Sieur de la Vérendrye built the first post on the site, Fort Rouge, but it was later abandoned. Other posts were built in the Red River region, which was fiercely contested by the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company. Fort Gibraltar, a post of the North West Company on the site of present-day Winnipeg, was renamed Fort Garry in 1822 and became the leading post in the region. In 1835, Fort Garry was rebuilt after the devastating flood of 1826 and although it played a small role in the actual trading of furs, it housed the residence of the Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company for many years. In 1869-1870, Winnipeg was the site of the Red River Rebellion, a conflict between the local Métis people led by Louis Riel and newcomers from eastern Canada. This rebellion led directly to the entry of Manitoba into Confederation as Canada's fifth province in 1870. On November 8, 1873, Winnipeg was incorporated as a city. In 1876, the post office officially adopted the name "Winnipeg", three years after the city's incorporation.
The name Winnipeg is a transcription of the western Cree word wi-nipe-k (????), meaning "muddy waters" from wi-ni (??) - dirty, or soiled - and nipiy (???) - water. It is the Cree name of Lake Winnipeg, some sixty kilometres to the north (about forty miles).
Winnipeg experienced an economic boom during the 1890s through 1920s, however, growth slowed towards the end of that period due to the opening of the Panama Canal, a key event in 1914. This 77 kilometre conduit for international trade and passenger travel helped propel Vancouver over Winnipeg in the resulting years. No longer did cargo or people have to traverse the country solely by railway. The option of using the Panama Canal had a profound effect on Winnipeg's development.
Another major event that effected Winnipeg both economically, socially and politically was the Winnipeg General Strike in 1919. Appalling labour conditions following World War I led to calls for reform. Around 35,000 Winnipeggers walked off the job in May 1919. The government defeated the strike through arrests, deportation and violence. The strike winded down in June 1919, but the lasting effect was a polarized population.
The population rose from about 25,000 in 1891 to more than 200,000 by 1921. The Manitoba [Provincial Legislature Building] reflects the optimism of the boom years. Built of Tyndall Stone in 1920, it is topped by the "Golden Boy".
From the 1920s to 1945, Winnipeg experienced many challenges. Vancouver surpassed Winnipeg to become the third largest city in Canada in the 1920s. Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton and Calgary also grew quickly and this allowed them to offer services comparable to Winnipeg firms. Wholesale trade declined in Winnipeg from 1924 to 1930 due in large part to growth in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The wholesale trade continued a downward spiral in Winnipeg due to national department stores moving into the region. Manufacturers bypassed city wholesalers offering their goods directly to retailers and the public. The mail order business also hurt Winnipeg since many of the orders were filled in eastern Canada.
The stock market of crash in 1929 only hastened an already steep decline in Winnipeg. The Great Depression followed and dragged Winnipeg down to depths not seen it its history. By 1937, city officials told a federal commission from Ottawa that they could no longer function without assistance.
Numerous companies shut down and massive unemployment ensued. To make matters worse, drought and depressed agricultural prices drove people off the land and into the cities.
The only thing that saved Winnipeg and the rest of the province from complete devastation was the city and provincial hydro-electric power plants built in the years prior to the Depression. The low cost electric power made it possible for businesses to slowly develop throughout the province. One of the industries that blossomed in the Depression years was the garment industry. The low cost power, vacated warehouses and plentiful workforce were ideal for the needle trade.
The Depression only ended when World War II broke out in 1939. Thousands of Canadians volunteered to join the forces. In Winnipeg, the old established armouries of Minto, Tuxedo (Fort Osborne) and McGregor were so crowded that the military had to take over other buildings to handle the capacity. Businesses in Winnipeg went on a war footing as well and men and women were hired in large numbers.
Despite nearly full employment in Winnipeg, the hardships of the Depression were not completely left behind. Rationing, shortages, stamps and coupons were the order of the day. There was also an entire generation of men and women overseas contributing to the war effort which left huge holes in many families.
The end of World War II brought a new sense of optimism in Winnipeg. Pent up demand brought a boom in housing development. Neighborhoods on new streets sprung up almost overnight. The building activity came to an abrupt halt in 1950 when city was swamped in the Winnipeg Flood. Not since 1861 had the water levels risen so high and heavy rainfall in the spring kept the flood waters above flood stage for 51 days. On May 8, 1950, the huge swell of water tore through eight dikes and destroyed four of eleven bridges. Homes and businesses filled with water and nearly 70,000 people had to be evacuated. Premier Douglas Campbell called for federal assistance and Canadian Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent declared a state of emergency. Soldiers from the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry were brought to the city just prior to the flood and remained for the duration of it. Only one person lost their life to the flood but the final tally in damage was over $1 billion.
The end result of the flood was a federal and provincial Royal Commission to determine what needed to be done to prevent such a thing from happening again. The Red River Basin Investigation recommended a system of complementary flood control measures. This involved a primary and secondary diking system for Winnipeg and a floodway to divert the Red River around Winnipeg.
The whole project, which also included the Shellmouth Reservoir on the upper Assiniboine River, the Portage Diversion channel and a control structure on the Fairford River, cost of $99,200,000. The Winnipeg Floodway alone cost $62,700,000.
Despite the damage done in the Winnipeg Flood of 1950, there was much criticism and outright opposition to the project. Under the leadership of Premier Duff Roblin, an agreement for cost sharing with the Government of Canada was signed. Construction commenced in October of 1962 and was completed in 1968. For many years, both critics and supporters called the floodway "Duff's Ditch."
The current city of Winnipeg was created when the City of Winnipeg Act was amended to form Unicity in 1971. The municipalities of St. James-Assiniboia, St. Boniface, Transcona, St. Vital, West Kildonan, East Kildonan, Tuxedo, Old Kildonan, North Kildonan, Fort Garry, and Charleswood were amalgamated with the Old City of Winnipeg. Small portions of the city have since seceded, but the vast majority of the populated area of the city remains within one single municipality. In order to prevent urban sprawl, the city restricted development to inside an urban limit line and in most cases left several kilometres of open space between the municipal boundary and suburban developments. Surrounding municipalities have a combined population of fewer than 100,000.
Winnipeg lies at the bottom of the valley of the Red River and has an extremely flat topography. There are no substantial hills in the city or in its vicinity. Downtown Winnipeg is centred at the intersection of Portage Avenue and Main Street about one kilometre (0.6 mile) from The Forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. From this intersection, known as the windiest in Canada (and widely recognized as the most famous intersection in Canada), all roads radiate outwards. The city uses the grid system for streets although there are several different grids in place which correspond to old Red River Lots and the meandering courses of the rivers. This creates some very irregular intersections. As a result many visitors find it difficult to get around in Winnipeg. There is no absolute numbering system in place but usually street addresses become higher the farther one moves away from either river. For example west of the Red River street addresses will increase as one heads west, but east of the river they will increase as one heads east. In general avenues run east and west and streets north and south. Unlike many cities in North America, all streets are named, not numbered. Of interest, many of the main thoroughfares in Winnipeg are extremely wide due to the spring soil conditions and the historical use of the Red River Cart which created wide ruts in the (then) muddy roads. Portage Avenue has four lanes of traffic in each direction plus a central boulevard for much of its run through Winnipeg.
Downtown Winnipeg is the financial heart of the city, and covers an area of about one square mile (2.5 km²) which is quite large for a city this size. Although downtown Winnipeg once housed what was for a time one of the world's most successful department stores, the Eaton's store on Portage Avenue, it is no longer the retail centre of the city. The Eaton's store was torn down and replaced by an arena, the MTS Centre in November, 2004. Surrounding the downtown area are various residential neighbourhoods. Urban development spreads in all directions from downtown but is greatest to the south and west, and has tended to follow (and has been determined by) the course of the two major rivers. The urbanized area in Winnipeg is about 25 km (15 mi) from east to west and 20 km (12 mi) from north to south, although there is still much land available for development within the City Limits. Areas include Downtown/Exchange District, Chinatown, The Forks, Fort Rouge/Crescentwood, River Heights, Tuxedo, Charleswood, St. James-Assiniboia, The West End, Weston, Wolseley, North End, Elmwood, East Kildonan, West Kildonan, and North Kildonan, St. Boniface, St. Vital, Fort Garry, St. Norbert, and Transcona. Winnipeg is known for its urban forest particularly its beautiful elm trees. The two major parks in the city, Assiniboine Park and Kildonan Park, are both located in the suburbs. The major commercial areas are Polo Park (West End and St. James) Kildonan Crossing (Transcona and East Kildonan), South St. Vital, and Garden City (West Kildonan). The main cultural and nightlife areas are the Exchange District, The Forks, Osborne Village and Corydon Village (both in Fort Rouge), Sargent and Ellice Avenues (West End) and Old St. Boniface.
Because of its extremely flat topography and substantial snowfall, Winnipeg is subject to severe flooding. The Red River reached its greatest flood height in 1826, and this event still remains the highest flood stage of the last two hundred years. Another large flood occurred in 1950, which caused millions of dollars in damages and thousands of evacuations. This flood prompted Duff Roblin's government to build the Red River Floodway (sometimes colloquially referred to as Duff's Ditch), a 49-kilometre (30-mile) long diversion channel that protects the city of Winnipeg from flooding. Other related water diversion projects farther away from Winnipeg include the Portage Diversion (also known as the Assiniboine River Floodway) and the Shellmouth Dam. The flood-control system prevented flooding in 1974 and 1979 when water levels neared record levels. However, in the 1997 flood, flooding threatened the city's relatively unprotected southwest corner. Flood control dikes were reinforced and raised using sandbags and the threat was averted. Winnipeg suffered very limited damage compared to cities without flood control structures, such as Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA.
The relatively flat terrain and the poor drainage of the Red River Valley's clay-based soil results in seasonal explosions of insect populations, such as that of the mosquito, which are intensified during especially wet years . Winnipeg has gained a reputation as the mosquito capital of North America, resulting in the limitation of much outdoor activity during the hot and humid summer months. The fear of West Nile Virus has further exacerbated the problem. In the summer of 2005, mosquito trap counts in some parts of the city went into the thousands, causing immediate city-wide fogging with the chemical malathion. The use of chemicals to combat Winnipeg's insect problem is an extremely controversial issue in the city as many feel that the use of chemicals, and particularly malathion, is unnecessarily dangerous to human and animal health.
Winnipeg lies in the middle of the North American continent on low-lying, flat land. It has an extreme continental climate, in that there are great differences between summer and winter temperatures. As there are no nearby mountain ranges or bodies of water to ameliorate the winter climatic conditions, Winnipeg lies exposed to numerous weather systems including bitterly cold Arctic high pressure systems. This can result in bone-chilling temperatures as early as the end of October, followed by bitter cold temperatures and sometimes dangerous wind chill readings during December, January and February. On average, the maximum daily temperature exceeds 0°C (32°F) on only 10 days out of 90 for these three months and the minimum daily temperature falls below -20°C (-4°F) on 49 out of the 90 days. Cold weather and snow often extend into April, although in general the winter weather begins to moderate in late February or early March. The extremity of its climate in the winter months has caused the (somewhat derisive) nickname of "Winterpeg". The coldest temperature ever recorded at Winnipeg was -47.8°C (-54.0°F), on December 24, 1879. The coldest temperature during the last 25 years was -41.4°C (-42.5°F) on February 2, 1996. The coldest wind chill reading ever recorded was -57.1 °C (-70.8 °F) on February 1, 1996.
Summers are typically warm and often humid, particularly in June and July, with frequent (and sometimes severe) thundershowers. Occasionally, humidex readings exceed 40 °C (104 °F). The average maximum temperature for June, July, and August is 24.7 °C (76.5 °F). On average, the maximum daily temperature exceeds 30°C (86°F) on 11 days out of 92 for these three months and the minimum daily temperature falls to or below 2°C (36°F) on only one out of the 92 days. Depending on the year, warm weather can continue beyond Thanksgiving in October, or come to an abrupt end soon after Labour Day. The city often receives an Indian Summer, when summer weather returns briefly after the first frosts, in mid to late October, or even early November. The highest temperature ever recorded in Winnipeg (since commencement of record-keeping in 1873) was 42.2°C (108.0°F) on July 11, 1936. The hottest temperature recorded in the past 25 years was 38.8°C (101.8°F) on September 2, 1983. The highest humidex reading was 46.1°C (115.0°F) on June 27, 1996.
Spring and fall tend to be rather contracted seasons, each averaging little over six weeks. In general the weather during these seasons is highly variable, and rapidly changing. For example, temperatures in Winnipeg in May have ranged from -11.7 °C (10.9 °F) to 37.8 °C (100.0 °F), and in October from -20.6 °C (-5.1 °F) to 30.5 °C (86.9 °F).
Average maximum and minimum temperatures for each month are as follows (shown as average maximum, average minimum)(source Environment Canada):
January -12.7 °C (9.1 °F), -22.8 °C (-9.0 °F) February -8.5 °C (16.7 °F), -18.7 °C (-1.7 °F) March -1.1 °C (30.0 °F), -11.0 °C (12.2°F) April 10.3 °C (50.5 °F), -2.4 °C (27.7 °F) May 19.2 °C (66.6 °F), 4.8 °C (40.6 °F) June 23.3 °C (73.9 °F), 10.7 °C (51.3 °F) July 25.8 °C (78.4 °F), 13.3 °C (55.9°F) August 25.0 °C (77.0 °F), 11.9 °C (53.4 °F) September 18.6 °C (65.5 °F), 6.0 °C (42.8 °F) October 10.8 °C (51.4 °F), -0.3 °C (31.5 °F) November -0.9 °C (30.4 °F), -9.6 °C (14.7 °F) December -9.7°C (14.5 °F), -19.1 °C (-2.4 °F)
Winnipeg is one of Canada's sunniest cities, and the weather in all seasons is characterized by an abundance of sunshine. The city receives an average of 2,372 hours of sunshine per year compared with 1,928 hours at Vancouver and 2,037 hours at Toronto. July is the sunniest month, and November the least sunny. Winnipeg, like Chicago, is also known as a windy city. The average annual wind speed is 16.9 km/h (10.5 mp/h), predominately from the south. The city has experienced wind gusts of up to 129 km/h (80 mph). The windiest weather usually occurs during blizzards or thunderstorms. April is the windiest month, and July the least windy.
The city receives an annual average of about 514 mm (20.6 inches) of precipitation including 111 cm (45 inches) of snow. The wettest month in June and the driest is February. There is measureable precipitation on 123 days throughout the year, including 55 days with snowfall. There is generally snow cover from mid-November to the end of March, though this varies depending on the year—heavy snowfalls in late October and in April are not uncommon. Winnipeg is virtually assured of having a White Christmas as there is only one December 25 on record in the last century where there was no snow on the ground.

The inaugural Council meeting took place on January 19, 1874 on the second floor of Bentley's, a newly constructed building on the northwest corner of Portage and Main
Construction of a new City Hall commenced in 1875. The building proved to be a structural nightmare and eventually had to be held up by props and beams. The building was eventually demolished in favour of building a new City Hall in 1883.
A new City Hall building was constructed in 1886. It was a statuesque "Gingerbread" building done in Victorian grandeur and symbolized Winnipeg's coming of age at the end of the nineteenth century. The building stood for fifty years and originally there had been a plan to replace it around World War I but the war itself delayed that process. And so the beloved Gingerbread City Hall stood until it started to fall down. In 1958, falling plaster almost hit visitors to the building. The tower eventually had to be removed and in 1962 the whole building was torn down.
City Council[City Council web page] embraced the idea of a "Civic Centre" as a replacement for the old city hall. The concept originally called for an administrative building and a council building with a courtyard in between. Eventually, a police headquarters and remand center (The Public Safety Building) and parkade were added to the plans. The four building were completed in 1964 at a cost of $8.2 million. The Civic Centre and the Manitoba Centennial Centre were connected by underground tunnels in 1967.
The first election for the newly combined city was held on October 6, 1971. The City Council consisted of 50 councillors and one mayor. The councillors were elected on the basis of one councillor per city ward while the mayor was elected by the city-at-large. The term of office was three years. The inaugural meeting of the new council took place on January 4, 1972.
Since 50 councillors proved too unwieldy the city wards were reduced to 29 in 1977. In 1992 the city wards were reduced even further to the present 15 and city councillors became full-time politicians.
The City of Winnipeg is home to 619,544 people (2001 Census)[Winnipeg Comunity Profile] - Statistics Canada. 2002. 2001 Community Profiles. Released June 27, 2002. Last modified: 2005-11-30. Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 93F0053XIE., about 54% of the total population of Manitoba. Winnipeg's population grew by about 12,000 residents from 1996 to 2001. Winnipeg's total annual growth rate has been 0.5% since 1971, with the majority of growth coming from immigration from Asia and Africa and in-migration from the surrounding rural areas, and aboriginal communities.
Edmonton and Calgary, however, formerly smaller cousins, have grown 3.0% and 4.5% per year, over the same period, so that each now has a metropolitan population of over 1.0 million. Winnipeg was once Canada's third-largest city (until the 1930s), but, beginning in the 1970s, as the economy evolved away from rural farm-based industry, and Canada's pattern of trade changed from east-west to north-south, Winnipeg stalled in growth and dropped to sixth by 2004. The Winnipeg Metropolitan Area ranks 9th in population in Canada, just behind Quebec City, Quebec, and Hamilton, Ontario. Winnipeg's growth rate has increased in recent years and Metropolitan Winnipeg may again overtake Quebec City and Hamilton in the near future.

Winnipeg is well known for its arts and culture. Among the popular cultural institutions in the city are: the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG), the Manitoba Opera, the Manitoba Museum (formerly the Museum of Man and Nature), the Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Prairie Theatre Exchange, and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. The city is home to several large festivals. The Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival is North America's second largest Fringe Festival, held every July. Other festivals include Folklorama, the Jazz Winnipeg Festival, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Winnipeg Music Festival, the Red River Exhibition, and Le Festival du Voyageur.
Winnipeg also has a thriving film community, producing local independent films, such as those by Guy Maddin. It has also supported a number of Hollywood productions, including Shall We Dance (2004), the Oscar nominated film Capote (2005), and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2006). Several locally-produced and national television dramas have also been shot in Winnipeg. The National Film Board of Canada and the Winnipeg Film Group have produced numerous award-winning films.
There are several TV and Film production companies in Winnipeg. Some of the prominent ones are Frantic Films, Buffalo Gal Pictures, Les Productions Rivard and Eagle Vision.
Winnipeg has a community college, Red River College. Winnipeg's four universities are the University of Manitoba (undergraduate, graduate school, and medical school), Collège universitaire de Saint-Boniface affiliated with University of Manitoba, the University of Winnipeg (undergraduate and select graduate programs) and Canadian Mennonite University (private). Winnipeg is also home to several prestigious private schools, including St. John's Ravenscourt School, St. Paul's High School, St. Mary's Academy, Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute and [Balmoral Hall].
Winnipeg is also known for its various music acts. Among the most notable are Neil Young, The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive Chantal Kreviazuk, Bif Naked, The Waking Eyes, the New Meanies, Propagandhi, The Weakerthans, Crash Test Dummies, and many more.
Winnipeg has also achieved some acclaim for being the "Slurpee capital of the world", as its residents have a year-round penchant for the icy slush served in convenience stores.
