Winnipeg: More than Winter and Mosquitos

Located smack-dab in the middle of Canada, amidst endless prairie farmland, Winnipeg is seldom associated with the term vacation destination. Sure, it's a place for business trips or to drive through on the way to or from Ontario, but for Canadians, taking a holiday in Winnipeg is the equivalent of going to Amish Country for a bachelor party.
Yet Winnipeg's reputation is unfounded—and unfair—as most don't realize that Winnipeg is a thriving cultural centre that offers a vibrant atmosphere and close proximity to some of Canada's most well-known (and beautiful) beaches.

Most people will shiver at the mere mention of the term Canadian Winter. Images of igloos and parkas accompanied by snowstorms and well below freezing temperatures usually prevail when one envisions January north of the 49th parallel, but those who think of Canadian winters as harsh and unforgiving probably haven't spent a winter on B.C.'s Vancouver Island, a destination known for its mild, even warm winter season.

Think Canadian winters, and a few of the images that come to mind are icicles,
toques and hockey sticks. And while many Canucks delight in the sight of a fresh
covering of snow, conjuring visions of powdery white ski hills, few are enthusiastic
about the frigid temperatures accompanying the white stuff. Unbearable winters
may be as much of a Canadian trademark as the beaver itself, but not everyone
in the country is feeling the sharp tines of Old Man Winter quite so severely.
