Tourism Winnipeg

1. Winnipeg is the diversity capital of Canada. Our architecture, people, cuisine, languages spoken, festivals, special events, cultural offerings, and facilities are some of the most unique and interesting in the country. We are a multicultural city where our diversity is celebrated and promoted.

2. Winnipeg is one of the most affordable cities in Canada. Accommodation choices range from modern web-enabled high-tech marvels, to cozy bed and breakfast homes to familiar modern regional and international brands... even a historical castle with old world charm.

3. Winnipeg is in the geographic centre of the continent – what could be more convenient? Have your delegates arrive fresh and ready to work! No more red-eye flights back to the office. Your delegates’ flights are shorter and more cost effective. Once in Winnipeg, you are only 15 minutes from anywhere you want to be.

4. Experienced people throughout our facilities and properties make doing business in Winnipeg quick and easy. Unique venues such as Fort Gibraltar – a full sized wooden replica of a frontier fort; or the stunning historical jewel – the 1911 newly refurbished CIBC Bank building, with marble, stained glass, carvings and intricate frieze, make your event memorable. Use a museum gallery as a reception facility or let one of amazing off-site venues host your group.

5. Winnipeg is a destination with four distinct seasons. This brings a variety of options to your group. Take your delegates to Festival du Voyageur in February for Cajun music, dog sled racing, and enjoy the “joie de vivre” of French Canadian culture. Winnipeg is one of the sunniest places in Canada. Summer means golf! Take a break and golf at one of the 25 courses in the city or play on an additional 28 rural courses within an hour of the city.

6. Winnipeg is home to world-class entertainment with ballet, theatre, visual arts, opera, contemporary dance, jazz, pop, blues, symphonic music, and multicultural experiences that have been rated by the Globe and Mail as being some of the best in the country. And best of all, it’s so affordable you can include everyone.

7. Winnipeg is the perfect location for a convention that includes the entire family. Shop in eclectic boutiques in interesting neighbourhoods for one-of-a-kind treasures. The kids will have a ball cheering on the Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball team. The Manitoba Children’s Museum has tons of interactive fun. FortWhyte Alive, Oak Hammock Marsh and the lovely Assiniboine Park provide outdoor adventures that adults and kids love.

8. Winnipeg chefs blend influences from around the world, then add in local specialties like golden caviar, pickerel, bison or some of Manitoba’s abundant grains, berries or vegetables to make some of the most unique culinary creations in Canada.

9. A creative and approachable Team Winnipeg is standing by to assist your group with all the details and the perfect itinerary that will make certain that your group’s objectives are met in a relaxed and stimulating environment.

10. Winnipeg has an outstanding reputation as a location for national and international conventions. The city has recently hosted the TIAC’s Rendez-vous Canada, Canadian Tire Dealers Association’s National Conference, The Royal Canadian Legion’s Dominion Convention and the Canadian Psychological Association’s Annual Convention, to name just a few.
