Re: Winnipeg Info
 

Speaking as someone who enjoys living in Winnipeg (and knows quite a few successful Canadians who have said they don't ever want to leave) I would say a lot of the negative opinions of the peg you get are from people who have never lived here.
I moved after 6 years in Melbourne (prior to that Edinburgh)and have had more fun (and spent more time outdoors) here.
Sure the winters can be really harsh but each province/capital city had it's own cross to bear in that season.
You just acclimatize/wear the right clothing and adapt :nod:
Embrace the season - flood your backyard and turn it into a ice rink. Great fun.
It's a great place for families - loads to do, there is rarely a weekend goes by when there is not some festival or another going on.
Summers have been lovely so far - plenty of lovely beaches and lakes to visit and take advantage of the heat.
As with all cities there are good parts and bad parts of it - as a general rule of thumb the southend is a nicer area.

No problem - I really do think the people that make an effort to fit in and find positive aspects of things will often be just fine.
We came over for my hubby's work - he's a civil engineer, and is loving it. (And is now playing hockey in his spare time) ;)

Nice! That sounds pretty awesome!

I agree on getting involved as well! We're quite looking forward to it, it should be an adventure!

On the note, does anyone know of any paperwork I can do in preparation? to have it ready to go so to speak?
