The Forks National Historic Site - The Forks National Historic Site of Canada. The Forks is of national historic significance due to its strategic location at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers that were part of a vast continental network of water routes.

The Forks National Historic Site - The Forks National Historic Site of Canada

The site's significance derives from its continuous use over time for transportation, trade and settlement. A traditional aboriginal stopping place, The Forks was also the site of Fort Rouge, Fort Gibraltar and the two Forts Garry. Unlike most other national historic sites, The Forks does not commemorate one specific period in history.

Instead, its importance lies in its role as witness to so many of the events that shaped the Canadian West as we know it. The first people here camped at the confluence of the two great rivers and over the centuries their presence drew others. P_121. Tales from the Sky - Canada's Aviation Heritage.

The Uniter: Winnipeg’s Weekly Urban Journal

Unlike some city bloggers, Hnatiuk is comfortable associating his real name with his blog. “People can make a personal connection with the things I write about.” – Garrett Elias In these changing times it’s hard to know exactly the role blogs play and the power they wield, but they surely do help combat the apathy that so often plagues society. Below, we analyze the power of blogs in Winnipeg and beyond, and list some of our favourites. The point of any news organization is to break news – if they’re not telling the story first, they’re not remaining relevant to their readers. The only problem is that some readers aren’t even turning to the big daily newspapers or nightly newscasts anymore.

Blogs are changing the face of the news industry and giving an impatient and hyperactive society more options to gather information. “Isn’t that a local issue? Notable blogs in the city ChrisD.ca. The Underground Cafe - Winnipeg, MB. There are a number of breakfast specials on daily while the rest of the regular menu serves up various meat and vegetarian, and vegan dishes.

The Underground Cafe - Winnipeg, MB

Lots of sandwiches, ww pita pizzas, salads, soups and specialty coffees. I like that you can get half size orders for almost every dish. A meal here can range from $4-$12. Their house specialty has to be their most talked about dish, the "Fabulous Sun-Burger" ($5.75). Everyone loves it and for good reason. Their Caesar salad is similar to other places, except it probably has one of the most garlicky dressings I've ever tasted! I tried the half egg salad sandwich ($3) and it was excellent! English Pub and Restaurant. The Lo Pub - Winnipeg, MB. 3/14/2010 Updated review Before I lose myself over their beer (which is easy even for the spoiled German beer connoisseur), I'd much rather give some more info on what's really relevant: People and music.

The Lo Pub - Winnipeg, MB

It is those two that make the Lo really special. Several times a week there are live shows at the lo, by bands both local and from all over the continent, but always interesting.

Fashion Winnipeg: Vintage clothes in all their glory After 30 years of collecting vintage clothing from all across Canada and storing it in what little space they had, Doug Shand and wife Lana decided they needed to open a store.

Winnipeg: Vintage clothes in all their glory

“The clothes were starting to take over our bedroom,” exclaimed Doug while explaining that their whole home had become overrun with fine vintage finds. That shop, formerly Vintage Lower Level, recently moved down Albert Street to a bigger, brighter space, redubbed Vintage Glory (88 Albert St., 204-946-5212). Like their former location, it’s packed full of some of the best finds I have ever seen. The couple started collecting simply because vintage was what they loved, and nothing makes them happier than passing it down to other fellow enthusiasts. All I really have left to say is: thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Access Winnipeg, Your Access to Everything Winnipeg! Second Sensations Reviews, 725 Corydon Ave #12, Winnipeg.
