Winnipeg is known as the Gateway to the West, and was historically known as the "Bullseye of the Dominion" and "Heart of the Continent", due to its critical location on the Canadian transportation network. Other nicknames include "the Peg" and "River City".
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. It is by far Manitoba'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).
Winnipeg offers an abundance of recreational opportunities as it lies in close proximity to hundreds of lakes including Lake Winnipeg, the world's eleventh largest lake, Lake Manitoba, and Lake of the Woods. The city is one of Canada's major cultural centres and is home to the world-famous Royal Winnipeg Ballet. It boasts historic architecture, scenic waterways, numerous parks and several unique bridges.
Due to its location in the centre of a large land mass and its distance from both mountains and oceans, Winnipeg has an extreme continental climate. The city’s northerly location is also influential, though Winnipeg is located farther south than London or Amsterdam. The city is famous for its long cold and snowy winters, and is often referred to as “Winterpeg”.
It is the coldest large English-speaking city in the world and only a handful of cities with a population of over 500,000 have colder winters. In sharp contrast summers are warm to hot and often quite humid with frequent thunderstorms. The summers in Winnipeg are more similar to those experienced in cities in the Midwestern United States than they are to cities in the western Canadian Prairies, such as Calgary or Edmonton.
