Moving To Wiinnipeg
So the time has finally come for my family and I to move to Winnipeg. We will arrive 10th April and I will start my new job on the 14th. Whilst I will be pre occupied at work my wife will be at home with our 2 children ,2yr, and would be interested in knowing of any mum and baby groups she maybe able to look at going to.

http://www.youville.ca/inyourcommunity/familycenters I didn't check them all, but I checked out the first one and it seems like it has groups similar to the one you're looking for. There are also multicultural centers in Canadian cities like Winnipeg that help newcomers (new immigrants) with getting settled once they have arrived. |

I arrived in Winnipeg in 2007 and we chose to live outside the city in Selkirk Take a walk along Gary Street south of Portage Ave and you will find the main office for the family services who will have all the information you need I'll guess it's around #100 Gary St. Maybe the snow will be gone by April :thumbsup: |

If she is on FB I highly recommend the Winnipeg moms page - about 1300 Winnipeg moms on there who would be happy to advise on your nearest mums groups if/when you know where you are going to be staying (also fantastic for finding out where the best places/deals are for almost anything you could want kid related) Welcome to the peg. :) |

There are loads of different groups, there are usually things running in your local community centre, schools and libraries and classes available through the city leisure guide and so on.

Hi Gibjam, You will enjoy Winnipeg, it's a friendly city. Although I am 'officially' a newbie to the Forum I came here back in 2011 but for various reasons are looking at moving out to B.C. I have an apartment in lovely Charleswood that I will be sub-letting. If you might be interested please PM me. Good look with you're new life in Winnipeg.
