Winnipeg...

(Just wondering, are you American or Canadian? it would be pretty cool if an American was doing a project on a Canadian city)


Winnipeg is an important Canadian city, and the capital of the province of Manitoba. Located in Western Canada, Winnipeg plays a prominent role in transportation, finance, manufacturing, agriculture and education. It is known as the Gateway to the West.

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 the province'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). The climate in Winnipeg is very extreme; overall, it is one of the coldest large cities in the world, with temperatures averaging below freezing from mid-November through much of March (and most nights below −24 °C (-11.2 °F) in mid-winter), although from May to September temperatures often reach 30 °C (86 °F) and sometimes exceed 35 °C (95 °F). The city receives more precipitation in the forms of both rain and snow than other Prairie cities, but the weather is characterized year-round by an abundance of sunshine. (Etc, etc, etc)

Kind of late for an answer but the best beach in the WPG area is West Hawk Lake. Its a bit further East than Falcon lake but it boasts several beaches you can get to by land. There's a main beach, a beach within the campground, and McKenzie Beach which is at the far end of the road when you make a right to enter town from the TransCanada. If you're able to rent or use a jet ski on the lake you there's a lot of undeveloped beaches along the Ontario border of the beach. If you get onto the lake there's Cliff Diving on the Eastern side of the lake. Oh and UFO's are spotted more at WHL than anywhere else in the country so keep your eyes peeled at night.
