I visited Winnipeg a couple of years ago and loved it so much I went back to again to visit my lovely relatives and family and I love the place so much and the lakes are so beautiful and I am from Ireland 🇨🇦🇮🇪❤️☘️💚
Im a PegHead and proud . Glad you loved-our Canadian city. Grew up here. Come back for a visit ,look me up and we will share some stories.of our land over some food and whiskey.CHEERS. FROM THE WINDY CANADIAN CITY.
I agree! As a Winnipegger, driving thru downtown Milwaukee was a very enjoyable moment of recognition. Milwaukee felt a fair bit bigger than Winnipeg tho, like it had many more of those buildings than we have.
That was a beautiful drive. I walked the Portage Avenue strip from Eaton's to the Bay many, many times. I moved away from Winnipeg 50 years ago. Many changes from back then but this brought back so many memories.
Maaan! My man and our 3rd youngest are just coming back from there. I hope this summer to bring my whole family this time along. He went for his brothers funeral sadly but this video brought back so many memories. It's where our 3rd was born. Great to take him back there. Thanks for this vid.
.. But how is it in winter? And what about mosquitoes? Do you find yourselves affected a lot by those? There are so many rumours of mosquitos and caterpillars in WPeg..??
@Chris Anaxagoras oh..sorry, i did not know..thanks for answering my comment from 4 months ago! .. But.. WTF.. How do you guys even handle those two weeks.. From all i hear about the Peg, it gotta be the toughest city to live in the whole of Canada.. Nothing but respect for you, if you do live there, bro..
@@donseaton3180 True.. If you like your city and have good friends or favorite places to go that give you good energy, winter is not a problem.. People do adjust.. Thank you for answering my comment.. 😁
I have never traveled to the Canada 🇨🇦 before, but after watching this video I became very excited to visit this beautiful city 🥰🥰🥰 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰😊
I live here, it's a gorgeous place. People ALWAYS underestimate Canada, but really, it's one of the best places to go for exploring. I don't live in Downtown, but I do live here. Been a Peg baby since
At the 2:43 mark, look to the left. That's 300 Main Street. At the time this video was shot, it was just in its early stages of development. Today (April 7, 2021), the high rise building at 300 Main (though still under construction) is the Tallest Building in Manitoba. It towers over 360 Main (The TD building) right next to it and the Bell MTS building just opposite at Main and Pioneer.
I have never been to Winnipeg, but it looks so beautiful on this video. I am looking forward to immigrating here soon. Cheers from Ukraine 🇺🇦. Thank you for this guide tour.

I grew up in the Peg during the 60's ,70's & 80's. Great place to grow up but by the late 80's it was time to go and I have only been back briefly since then. There is no place like home they say but can't say I would return as those days are gone. It doesn't matter where you are now it's bleak.
I grew up in Southern Ontario, then was posted here and retired from the Forces just outside the city. The City is beautiful (depending on location) in the summer. Ive never seen so much green inside of a city before. During winter, it becomes the Ugliest city ever lol
@UCMF2DIpJEAaazUpLt7_QREQ too many immigrants? You do know that without these immigrants the economy of this province, Manitoba, will go to down the drain? You sound like you dont know how economies work. Lets use Manitoba as an example. Every year Manitoba loses thousands of people due to interprovincial migration. In fact, one of the worst in the country. Winnipeg's population is about 800,00. Pretty small for a major city. The population growth is very slow since not a lot of people want to live here or want to stay here. Businesses invest in places where there are lots of foot traffic. Winnipeg struggles to keep people from leaving the city. That is one of the reasons why we dont have a lot big businesses investing here. Less businesses equals less opportunities. And if there are less people, how will the government pay for all the social services? You idiots are quick to blame immigrants when they are vital for this province's economy.
I spent my age 17-19 highschool in Winnipeg, best of my memory in highschool, most importantly, wonderful wonderful people! Cold does not freeze your heart cuz the people around you warm it up!
I've been thinking ab doing a solo vacation and feel like this would be a small enough city to not be overwhelmed but large enough to explore a drastically different, yet similar, culture to that of Nashville. Cheap too. I'd love to catch a Bombers game while there but good seats seem to be in high demand.
Nice and smooth drive showing us our Winnipeg aka Winterpeg 🙂 I loved when you took the left turn near Forks to get onto Broadway I think and merge eventually with Portage Avenue, great showcase ! Happy to subscribe
I think this life only once as we know each other, but I couldn't end within In my 100 km surrounding,, I want too see the whole world,different kind of people, nature, places, land etc,, now I am 24, I am zero now, but time is travelling with me.. Think positive, don't stay inside Shadow's, u r the only the person keep u happy, no one will can't stop u.. Don't follow others, u the trend setter
Wooow..its bring me into time machine.. 2013 i came to this town..for 2 weeks long stay. Hehhee.. Portage ave, donald st, and other.. I guess this is from the city bus camera right ? I can see holiday inn city center, the place that i stayed. Wow still the same city after all. I miss the feel driving in the night across the town. You can see the sparkling of the light. Thanks my bro.. U bring my memories back 😁😄
Looking at the potential of a foreign exchange semester in Winnipeg (from UK). It’s obviously very beautiful, but I’m worried it might be too quiet for me - can anyone tell me if the student life is actually fun in terms of the night life & bars etc, is there anything to do?
Tons of rockets (hot chicks) and patios are now open despite covid. Nightlife was actually pretty good before the pandemic, a few went out of business but will be back and relocated after restrictions.
@@steelgunner2 Great cheers guys, been looking into it and it looks great, that was just my first concern since I hadn’t heard of it before...Seems like that was silly of me haha, will defo be trying to go!
23:30 - 24:00, I was just walking down that street & turned on McDermot going to Tokyo Smoke a couple hours ago getting some weed, it's called Cherry Burst, just like the classic colours of the Gibson Les Paul and tastes tangy and delicious.
This video was shot in early spring before the leaves have fully opened. Spring and summer in Winnipeg are beautiful, but some people don't like first couple of weeks following the spring thaw, when the winter snow melts, leaving a whole season's accumulated dirt behind. We clean things up pretty quickly, though.
Lived in Vancouver most of my life and the first thing I notice here is there's tons of parking on the streets. Something rare here in Van downtown. Also Winnipeg downtown is slow and laid back.
Probably alot more laid back in winnipeg compared to Vancouver given the population difference. But this must be filmed on a sunday because its normaly not this quiet downtown.
I liked the video which you shared here, Winnipeg looks a Nice and Calm place but i wonder there are only few people in the street and looks like city is almost vacant!!! but the city looks nice and fantastic to rest when you get retired.
Good video but looks more like 1080p. Thinking the Gopro doesn't do 4k video justice, but looks good nonetheless. Maybe try a sony 4k camera or camcorder. Some brilliant of the sights would be pretty nice.
lol, no kidding. So much road work in the summer but winters make it so. Yeah, I’ve spent ridiculous hours waiting to move a bit. Well, that said, there are times that you can get to downtown from just about anywhere in 15-20 mins.
I live in winnipeg in the safer area, there's many beautiful places where I am as well. downtown may be a beautiful area, but one of the most dangerous places to go to and even live in, lots of crime and there are alot of homeless people and even gangs down in this area. I go downtown to just explore. I always stay in a vehicle though because there's always people who would try and follow you around or even try to take your stuff. So if anyone ever plans on going to the downtown area to explore please be careful and stay safe, we do have a lot of safe places here as well so not all of winnipeg is dangerous also amazing video!
Disagree. I work, shop, live and walk about downtown for the past 42 years. There are some spots to stay away from but by the most part, safe and gorgeous in summer. Assiniboine Ave, Edmonton, Hargrave, character buildings,. Suburbs lack soul, have no flavor.
There are places and times to avoid the downtown area - like any large city. But, for the most part downtown winnipeg is a safe place and there is so much to do - restaurants, theater, clubs, library, exchange district - all the old buildings which have been preserved - unique in north america ...
I lived in Winnipeg for many years pre 1995 - it looks the same but the signage has changed...... I think I sought out the city only because it reminded me of my younger days.
such well timed lights lol. everytime i drive down friggin main street i stop at those same bloody lights. why wouldnt such a main busy street have synced lights? the buses from graham have priority...?
Winnipeg has a lot of "Chicago School" architecture. In fact, many of the movies and TV shows you see which are set in Chicago are actually filmed in Winnipeg.
@@halfvolley11 Yes, the Winnipeg and Chicago skylines are different, but at street level the camera can't tell the difference. Here's an example: Have a look at "Shall We Dance?" (2004) starring Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. The movie is set in Chicago, but the whole thing was filmed in Winnipeg.
Toronto is the best city in Canada. Starbucks in downtown Toronto has best coffee. I love the Pogos at Canada’s Wonderland the biggest amusement park in the country.
It's a great place, period. Of course, some people won't be happy no matter where they live. Here's a song about ennui for you, from the great Winnipeg band The Weakerthans: "One Great City" (the chorus is "I HATE Winnipeg"). th-cam.com/video/zhjhzegSJ24/w-d-xo.html
My first and only visit was in 1982 ... That's 38 years ago this month (July) and I love it. I heard it has changed in so many ways, including high crime rate. But I still love it from the memories of way back then.
F. Marshall The crime is over exaggerated, it’s really only bad at night like most normal big cities. And even then, it’s still safer then pretty much every major American city.
@@yoda5280 group of teenagers swung a machete at me for no reason and chased me away from my car. I tried approaching a homeless person with food and they told me to fuck off. The crime is definitely there, even in the daytime unless you live in a gated community.
@@yoda5280 those are just 2 things that have happened to me. There are plenty of stories I have in this city. When did I say winnipeg has more crime than other cities? What are you talking about ? And plus, those major american cities usually triple the population of winnipeg so of course there will be more crime in those cities.
@@cosslogan1043 In fairness, I've never lived in Saskatoon so I don't know what their transit is like. Winters in both cities are almost identical. There are more jobs in Winnipeg simply because the population is higher and the number of employers is bigger, but it really depends on the industry you're in. Saskatoon has more primary sector businesses but Winnipeg has more hi-tech jobs, like aerospace manufacturing. In fact, Winnipeg's economy is one of the most diversified in Canada en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg#Economy while Saskatoon's economy is more focussed on "potash, oil, and wheat" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon#Economy I hope this helps you.
@@DaveGIS123 thanks for the info. I'm looking at Calgary, Edmonton or somewhere in Ontario, though Ontario is very expensive. Winnipeg is less expensive but again the winters, crime and transit was a concern I had. Transit would be better in AB but maybe less jobs, not sure.
As someone that lives here that is the problem. There is nothing vibrant about the city (besides maybe the forks). The city is dead and there are very few jobs where you can move up in the world. Combine that with a dreary atmosphere most of the year and a high crime rate and you got a horrible place to live.

Winnipeg looks a lot like Milwaukee, WI. Not a lot of skyscrapers and a lot of mid rise older brick buildings. I love it.

You must be joking.
@@karlwagner9283 Winnipeg is very chill compared to Toronto.
hello, can I use some of your footage for my Community Assessment assignment at school? thanks
Check out Ben Sures song "Winnipeg" here (song #3): www.bensures.com/music/
Great place to be from.
It's a great place, period. Of course, some people won't be happy no matter where they live. Here's a song about ennui for you, from the great Winnipeg band The Weakerthans: "One Great City" (the chorus is "I HATE Winnipeg"). th-cam.com/video/zhjhzegSJ24/w-d-xo.html
I ❤ my Winnipeg! A City I'm proud to call home sweet home! 😄
My first and only visit was in 1982 ... That's 38 years ago this month (July) and I love it. I heard it has changed in so many ways, including high crime rate. But I still love it from the memories of way back then.
F. Marshall The crime is over exaggerated, it’s really only bad at night like most normal big cities. And even then, it’s still safer then pretty much every major American city.
@@yoda5280 group of teenagers swung a machete at me for no reason and chased me away from my car. I tried approaching a homeless person with food and they told me to fuck off. The crime is definitely there, even in the daytime unless you live in a gated community.
Northern Yeti Gaming So because of those two separate incidents you’re gonna claim winnipeg has more crime than other cities?... bruh what... smh
@@yoda5280 those are just 2 things that have happened to me. There are plenty of stories I have in this city. When did I say winnipeg has more crime than other cities? What are you talking about ? And plus, those major american cities usually triple the population of winnipeg so of course there will be more crime in those cities.
I want to go to school there and they got a dispensary .. and it’s quiet .. bound to be lit
Winnipeg is vastly underrated
Beautiful city, aside from the neverending potholes..
You have a special knack for hitting red lights.
Would the powers that be consider planting more trees?
Wow
very clean....
isnt this just regina but with 3 times the amount of people?
No, The 'Peg is more like a huge Saskatoon --- or Saskatoon is a miniature Winnipeg.
@@DaveGIS123 yeah. the two look pretty similar
@@DaveGIS123 between the two, which is better for transit, jobs and winters ?
@@cosslogan1043 In fairness, I've never lived in Saskatoon so I don't know what their transit is like. Winters in both cities are almost identical.
There are more jobs in Winnipeg simply because the population is higher and the number of employers is bigger, but it really depends on the industry you're in. Saskatoon has more primary sector businesses but Winnipeg has more hi-tech jobs, like aerospace manufacturing.
In fact, Winnipeg's economy is one of the most diversified in Canada en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg#Economy while Saskatoon's economy is more focussed on "potash, oil, and wheat" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon#Economy
I hope this helps you.
@@DaveGIS123 thanks for the info. I'm looking at Calgary, Edmonton or somewhere in Ontario, though Ontario is very expensive. Winnipeg is less expensive but again the winters, crime and transit was a concern I had. Transit would be better in AB but maybe less jobs, not sure.
thank you for your sharing greetings from indonesia
My city born n raised
what time do you film this ? its so quiet
probably early fall 7:00 ish
@@bigmoneysalvia7461 More likely it was shot on a Sunday some time in early spring --- traffic is light and the leaves haven't fully opened yet.
looks like a dead boring city with nothing to do compared to very vibrant Melbourne in Australia, nice and quiet it seems though
As someone that lives here that is the problem. There is nothing vibrant about the city (besides maybe the forks). The city is dead and there are very few jobs where you can move up in the world. Combine that with a dreary atmosphere most of the year and a high crime rate and you got a horrible place to live.
@@finismalorum9746 exactly! People say how nice it is until they come visit in the middle January.
@@finismalorum9746 that's it exactly.
WoW
Can't wait till I start living here!
Sorry but Winnipeg is depressing city
