I’ve lived in Manitoba all my life (I love Winnipeg!) & I can’t remember seeing shorts outdoors when it’s colder than -15c. I have, however, seen snow fall in June, and in September. I love the film-making scene here, and if you do too, definitely check out the Exchange district. And if you love theatre like I do, come in the 2nd half of July for the awesome Fringe Theatre festival, where you can see over a hundred different shows.
If you come for winter, I suggest the last two weeks of February. The days are getting longer and warmer and you can check out the Festival du Voyager, the second biggest winter festival in Canada celebrating the French pioneers, Metis and native fur trappers and traders who plied there trades along the banks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers and many other tributaries and lakes from Thunderbay to the the northern territories of Canada. It's a fun filled two weeks.
Was very privileged to have lived in Winnipeg for almost 5 years and fell in love with it. There is surprisingly much to do and it's very culturally diverse.
My mom was born to american parents here in 1933 and lived here till she was 16 before moving to the States. She always spoke so fondly of Winnipeg. I’d love to visit some time tho maybe not in wintertime 😊
I would not want to live in any other Canadian city! Toronto? Never! Vancouver? Rain, rain, rain in the winter….very depressing. Would much rather have sun in January! And the crime and drugs in Vancouver? Horrible! Calgary? Nope! Ottawa? Yikes…! Not even Victoria! We have amazing summers! A great video pointing out all the pluses!!👍🏻
Winnipegger here. Pretty decent video and good info *in general*. Couple of things: 1. Canada has two official languages, English & French. That’s why all signs in Canada are bilingual (by law). It’s not a Winnipeg thing. 2. Pretty close on the winter thing, but it left the impression that winter lasts until May. Not so. We usually get our snow that stays for the winter (as opposed to falling & melting) around the middle of Nov. and the spring melt usually starts in March. We’re usually golfing by mid-April. But yes, sometimes we’ll get a freak snow as late as June, but anything after mid-April just melts within an hour. Winters can have a couple of “cold snaps” each year that can last as long as 2 weeks, but those are the extremes. Usually not nearly that cold. The good news is, when it’s cold, it’s also brilliantly sunny, and the streets are bone dry. When it gets warm, it’s more cloudy, and the streets get messy. I prefer the cold, sunny days (within reason!). Go Jets Go!!!
In the last 20 years it has warmed up and we get about 1 1/2 less months of winter. I know on Halloween , lots of times there was snow and it was cold and I have see it take until May for the snow to melt but not in the last 25 years. I worked outside on CN and froze at -25 many times on March 25. April was the month everything melted but now it is March. I have seen it snow in July once in the 1970's. It will continue to warm up. The more northern places will be warming up more. Florida will not notice any difference but northern Manitoba already has much warmer weather than in the past.
Crap town you'll get robbed. Native people here don't work because I know they don't get hired so crime is every where. Meth drugs alcohol don't live here. Bullshit not worth it to live here. If you're native in winnipeg you have to learn how to steal rob or sell drugs. Education work experience does not matter if your native. The ugly truth
Because it’s literally the only free things to do… until your bike gets stolen a week after purchase despite being locked up in a secure area for less than 5 minutes.
The city is as beautiful as it is heart-rending. The (new) mayor and council have their work cut out for them in cleaning up the obvious, long-standing problems of poverty and crime. Beyond that, it's a city with "great bones" and could literally go either way at this turnpike.
I not saying Winnipeg is cold but when I went to the Forks last winter the warming huts on the river were closed because it was too cold. People in Winnipeg understand the cold.
thank you for the nice video of Winnipeg .in the summer month of July and august are great . folk feast in July. in bird hill park an out door music festival start in 1974 about 70,000 attend . also folkarama is festival of culture in august. vist different pavilions . enjoy the food from about 30 Folklorama is an event that runs for two weeks each August in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Visitors to the festival are invited to sample cuisine and celebrate the cultural and ethnic heritage of people from dozens of cultures who have made Winnipeg their home. Folklorama is the world's largest and longest-running multicultural festival. Each culture has an assigned venue, known as a pavilion.
Great video. Thanks. While Winnipeg is cold in the winter, Winnipeg is also one of the warmest in the summer and sunniest cities in Canada. Winnipeg is in the heart of lake country, surrounded by many lakes nearby and very nice beaches on those lakes, which can be very refreshing on one of those 30+ degree days in the summer.
@@ryanmarasigan5748 You obviously haven't been to Detroit or you haven't been to Winnipeg, or both. There is no shortage of positive growth in Winnipeg. Detroit has seen its economy decline since the 70's.
I think Higgins and main would disagree XD or salter, Selkirk, McGregor, pretty much all of the north end would also disagree. Winnipeg is a s### hole no offense
Thank you, as a "Pegger" I enjoyed your video. Just a comment about the mosquitoes - they aren't as bad as they used to be - really! We have had a really great environmentally friendly control system in place for several years. I barely notice them now. In August we have Folklorama, the largest and longest-running (54 years) multicultural festival of its kind in the world. 38 pavilions this year! The winters are cold but I guess I'm used to them. There is so much to do in winter to keep you warm, like the Festival du Voyageur, the largest Francophone event in Western Canada every February, Hé ho!!. Also, the normally 6km Nestaweya River Trail is loads of fun though we had such a mild winter this year that only one section opened at the end of January - this is where you'll see many of the spectacular warming huts.
A good base layer with shorts is my go-to (for everyday work stuff and so on, it’s much easier to move around). Going on a walk with my dog? Proper gear time, the cold actually bites.
What a nice video! Winnipeg is a great city and you found some of the things that make it so. There are many more to discover so hopefully you'll come back soon.
Winnipeg used to take a lot of crap for not having major large Freeways. But ass urban philosophies are evolving it's turning into a bit of a blessing. I like to say that we avoided "terminal car cancer." becuase our city isn't carved up. I remember visting other great plains major river cities like Nashville thinking how much of a scar that interstate running through the middle really is.
I just returned from a few days in Winnipeg and will be back for a week in June. You are right on with the culture, diversity and should add how that adds to the beauty of the City. If you’re into architecture you will love this city. Right on with the comments about arts and culture.
I've always thought it would be fun to take a long weekend trip to Winnepeg in February and fo to a Jets game. And then go ice skating, have a hot cuppa Tim Horton's or five. Do you have poutine in Winnepeg? If so, then yes. Also I'd check out the Red Dawg and Canada West factory outlets. And buy a Jets hockey jersey. Eh!?
@@RunTheAtlas C'est la meilleure semaine. Avec la musique et les sculptures de glace. La nourriture et les jeux sont fantastiques/It is the best week. With the music and ice sculptures. The food and the games are fantastic. I love visiting Winnipeg. Love the beaches too.
ive had plans of moving here the past few years but ive always been stopped from family and just the world im hoping i can move out there this or later next year if my friend wanted to split the rent because rent is so difficult with times these days hopefully i can make things happen👌
As a proud Winnipegger. I would describe the Canadian Museum for Human Rights as a repository of ideas rather than things. The evolution of human thought and kindness. But if you like historical things there is no finer museum than Winnipeg Museum of Natural History. Previously known as the Winnipeg Museum of Man and Nature.
As a former "Pegger". I've been gone for 10 years and the dominant language is now Tagalog. Since so many Filipino people now reside there. Also, the Peg has the most festivals in all of Canada during the summer months. Thanks, for your kind words. ❤👌
Nice to hear good things about Pegcity since I live here and see the soft underbelly and hear just the negative things. I guess that happens everywhere. It's a tough but resourceful city. It's been said if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere. You obviously stayed around the touristy areas which are very nice. I still haven't gone to the human rights museum, someday. A lot of the city isn't in the tourist brochures, you have to venture out and ask around or just look around. Hope you make it back this way an see more.
If you stay on the main roads all you'll see are strip malls, but if you drive into neighbourhoods you'll see how Winnipeggers really live. Check out Lyndale Drive, or Riverview, or Tuxedo (yes, it's really called Tuxedo). Check out Wolseley, especially in summer when the place comes alive with front yard gardens. You'll love it!
Great Info-video! Wish you could have also focused on some of the beaches located at southern part of Lake Winnipeg. Those would be a huge draw for tourists and only 45 min. north east and north west of the city. Lake Winnipeg, Canada's sixth largest lake features Grand Beach on the eastern side with powdery white sand beaches and grass-topped dunes that make this one of the top beaches in North America with sand dunes and lagoons supporting many species of wild birds. Also on the western side of the lake we have Winnipeg Beach and the Gimli Municipality with Icelandic origins. Both sides easily accessible and close to the City for day trips.

That's a little exaggerating, Danny Sharp. The average hot temp in Winnipeg is at least 89, and 85 further up north until you're a lot closer to the Arctic Circle. How hot did it get up to when you were there?
@@Religious_manuh this summer it was 107 F or 42C with the humidity making it feel like 117F or 47C most of the summer. Also Winnipeg is nowhere near the arctic.
@@Matthew-km6fi Holy smoke, in what part of Canada had those temperatures? Imagine the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s! Also, I did not say Winnipeg is near the Arctic Circle. Put on your reading glasses.
It should be noted that many Franco-Manitobans have been assimilated. French was banned in Manitoba in 1890 much like it was banned in New England and Louisiana. In 2016, Manitoba established the Francophone Community Enhancement and Support Act to save and promote the French language and it's Franco-Manitoban culture.
Winnipeg gets a bad rep but crime takes place everywhere in every single city some like Toronto and Vancouver do a better job of hiding it hey tourists! Winnipeg and Manitoba is an awesome place to live with so much to do and see if you take the time. Summer, winter, spring and fall.
Well there are banks here and there and they have some antique cash in them hidden in safes but mostly everyone uses plastic. There's also the Red River which has a bank on each side and each of these banks runs for miles and miles! Just some droll Canadian humor, eh? 😉
@@RunTheAtlas The layout is the same, but most of the structures are noticeably different or newly built since the last time I was there. I doubt I could remember my way around if I should visit.
No, that's not true. Winnipeg isn't even the coldest city in Manitoba! Yes, Winnipeg is famous for being cold in winter, but it's really not bad as long as you're dressed for the weather. A phrase you'll hear a lot is "It's a dry cold". Humidity in The 'Peg is so low, your body heat isn't conducted away. I felt much colder in places like Vancouver or Toronto in winter, becuase the higher humidity chills you to the bone.
Are you kidding? Compared to Alberta, BC and Ontario, we are missing many big chains. Try Enoteca, Passero, Deer and Almond, Nola, Clementine, all the local ethnic restaurants. Little sister coffee, fools and horses, parlour coffee, Oh Doughnuts, la belle baguette, hundreds of ethnic restaurants. I say we are the opposite of that.
Drove across canada many times from west coast to east coast and back, the worst people i have met everything were in manitoba, mainly winnipeg almost everytime
I used to live there, it's a lovely city and the people are so friendly. Nice to go through memory lane. I would just say you need to learn how to say Tagalog correctly
True story. I bought a window unit air conditioner for our porch but I didn't get to use it until the THIRD SUMMER AFTER THAT, because the next two summers were cold and wet. There are good points to Winnipeg but I couldn't take the climate. The last straw was New year's eve, 2013/2014 when we made the news with the headline ... Winnipeg, colder than the surface of Mars. We moved to BC and now we get maybe 2 days a year where there's snow on the road, we traded minus 40 for plus 40 and never looked back. Winnipeg isn't for everyone.
@@josephinakeam6197 I'm American and I was never really aware it gets that hot in B.C. I know it often gets up to at least 26.5C in the summer in B.C. But 39C...how often is that in the Canadian prairies? I'm talking normal summer air temperature readings, not "climate change/global warming temperatures."
@@Religious_man winnipeger here. Sorta depends, we've had some summers that are almost unbearably hot at 35c+ for a week or so. We've also had summers that don't ever get past 25. Also when a Winnipeger talks about the weather, it's not small talk. It's an actual conversation
@emptyhad2571 My whole life. Robbed 4 times on public transit with no follow up from police. Multiple vehicles I've had the glass smashed or cat stolen. Clearly there is a benefit. The only benefit is the cheap living
I'm Canadian. Where is "the six"? Manitoba has nicer summers than most of the US. Lived here for 70 years and very very seldom see anyone wearing shorts in winter. I have but not common. Ontario is a Province not a city. Toronto is the capital of Ontario. Love our Philipinos.

Ten winters,I did my time!! 🥶🥶
Do tell everybody about how you found "Portage and Main 50 below".

She did a great job at making this city look nice. Most times you’re stuck in traffic or feeling bad you can’t donate to the homeless
Ah yes. She painted a rosy picture of city life for the tourists.
@@maintuningDrama queen
Brutal winters. BRUTAL. Cost of heating $$$$$$. Very high and rising crime rates.
Yes it can be a harsh winter! 🥶
I was there in June, it was hot and humid. Felt like I was in texas..
Yes the hot weather was so surprising!
That's a little exaggerating, Danny Sharp. The average hot temp in Winnipeg is at least 89, and 85 further up north until you're a lot closer to the Arctic Circle. How hot did it get up to when you were there?
@@Religious_manuh this summer it was 107 F or 42C with the humidity making it feel like 117F or 47C most of the summer. Also Winnipeg is nowhere near the arctic.
@@Matthew-km6fi
Holy smoke, in what part of Canada had those temperatures? Imagine the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s! Also, I did not say Winnipeg is near the Arctic Circle. Put on your reading glasses.
It should be noted that many Franco-Manitobans have been assimilated. French was banned in Manitoba in 1890 much like it was banned in New England and Louisiana. In 2016, Manitoba established the Francophone Community Enhancement and Support Act to save and promote the French language and it's Franco-Manitoban culture.
Hey, being assimilated in Winnipeg is still much better than being assassinated in Toronto! 😉
Great video, Winnipeg is a really cool city
no
@@stewartkashuba4411 you don't like it there? I was thinking of moving to Winnipeg, but I'm interested in hearing any bad things about it too.
😂
Yeah it's a cool city to get stabbed or killed in
@stewartkashuba4411 rather than saying simply "NO", state the reason also, so that others can understand what's going, please
I plan to visit Canada one day.
Winnipeg means in Ojibway "dirty water"
Winnipeg gets a bad rep but crime takes place everywhere in every single city some like Toronto and Vancouver do a better job of hiding it hey tourists! Winnipeg and Manitoba is an awesome place to live with so much to do and see if you take the time. Summer, winter, spring and fall.
You used to buy crack off me
Did they check for warrants when getting in to Canada?
LMAOO
yes, you have to have one to get in!
HEY I LIVE THERE. THATS MY HOME CITY, AND ITS BEAUTIFUL :D

Can you tell something about banking industry in winpeg?
Well there are banks here and there and they have some antique cash in them hidden in safes but mostly everyone uses plastic. There's also the Red River which has a bank on each side and each of these banks runs for miles and miles! Just some droll Canadian humor, eh? 😉
❤❤❤❤❤
We are coming from Europe to visit our mom in winnipeg. Very exciting! 😊
Hey! Capital W for Winnipeg, please!! Or, europe for you!!
Hi from Winnipeg and welcome.
Didn't mention the majestic Mount Royal Hotel or the historic Sutherland on Main Street.
Nor the praiseworthy vermin that frequent these establishments.
Some things are best left unsaid... Just saying...
The last time I was in Winnipeg was more than 42 years ago - before you were born. 😄
Does it look the same?
@@RunTheAtlas The layout is the same, but most of the structures are noticeably different or newly built since the last time I was there. I doubt I could remember my way around if I should visit.
@@RunTheAtlasmuch dirty . Thanks to natives
Many who live here would move if they could.
I did.
@@devon1306Because it's nice
Winnipeg:
+40C? Nope.
-50C? Nope.
315 days of sunshine? Nope.
Weed store on every corner? Dope!
Stabbings? Dope!
Yea fr winnipeg is such a shithole
@@Rash7
I guess they don't do that in Lala land, where you live.
Winnipeg the Coldest city in Canada 🥶
No, that's not true. Winnipeg isn't even the coldest city in Manitoba!
Yes, Winnipeg is famous for being cold in winter, but it's really not bad as long as you're dressed for the weather. A phrase you'll hear a lot is "It's a dry cold". Humidity in The 'Peg is so low, your body heat isn't conducted away. I felt much colder in places like Vancouver or Toronto in winter, becuase the higher humidity chills you to the bone.
That would be Regina
Winnipeg is the city of all chain restaurants
Are you kidding? Compared to Alberta, BC and Ontario, we are missing many big chains. Try Enoteca, Passero, Deer and Almond, Nola, Clementine, all the local ethnic restaurants. Little sister coffee, fools and horses, parlour coffee, Oh Doughnuts, la belle baguette, hundreds of ethnic restaurants. I say we are the opposite of that.
Drove across canada many times from west coast to east coast and back, the worst people i have met everything were in manitoba, mainly winnipeg almost everytime
Really? In friendly Manitoba?
I used to live there, it's a lovely city and the people are so friendly. Nice to go through memory lane. I would just say you need to learn how to say Tagalog correctly
Thanks for the tips! Cheers!
What's Tagalog actually?
@@dilraj6911its a language
Great informative video about Winnipeg
Glad you enjoyed it
True story. I bought a window unit air conditioner for our porch but I didn't get to use it until the THIRD SUMMER AFTER THAT, because the next two summers were cold and wet. There are good points to Winnipeg but I couldn't take the climate. The last straw was New year's eve, 2013/2014 when we made the news with the headline ... Winnipeg, colder than the surface of Mars. We moved to BC and now we get maybe 2 days a year where there's snow on the road, we traded minus 40 for plus 40 and never looked back. Winnipeg isn't for everyone.
Definitely need to be tough to live here.
See ya.
Not going to defend Winnipeg because I don't like living in the area...but plus 40 in B.C? No...
@@josephinakeam6197
I'm American and I was never really aware it gets that hot in B.C. I know it often gets up to at least 26.5C in the summer in B.C. But 39C...how often is that in the Canadian prairies? I'm talking normal summer air temperature readings, not "climate change/global warming temperatures."
@@Religious_man winnipeger here.
Sorta depends, we've had some summers that are almost unbearably hot at 35c+ for a week or so. We've also had summers that don't ever get past 25.
Also when a Winnipeger talks about the weather, it's not small talk. It's an actual conversation
good vid
Winnipeg is like Gotham lol
And if you ever visit Winnipeg, you must order chicken tenders with honey dill sauce. It's a requirement.
I grew up in Winnipeg. You’ve not mentioned anything about the major crime rate.I grew up here but left for Calgary in 1999
Because that’s downtown and the north end
@@emptyhad2571it's all over, doesn't matter where you are.
@@zkiphier622 how long have you been in the city?
@@zkiphier622 there’s more positives to living here than negatives
@emptyhad2571 My whole life. Robbed 4 times on public transit with no follow up from police. Multiple vehicles I've had the glass smashed or cat stolen. Clearly there is a benefit. The only benefit is the cheap living
all i need is a passport to get to canada
its litrillly 2 hours from the border bro
❤
Time to move when the biggest attraction in my city is giant perogies
😂
I'm Canadian. Where is "the six"? Manitoba has nicer summers than most of the US. Lived here for 70 years and very very seldom see anyone wearing shorts in winter. I have but not common. Ontario is a Province not a city. Toronto is the capital of Ontario. Love our Philipinos.
The 6 (or the 6ix) is the nickname for Toronto, because of the six municipalities making up Metro Toronto
Just to let you know that I was born in Winnipeg and it is known as the "PEG" not pig . I have never ever heard that expression except by you.
I’m from there
Really interesting, thanks.
