What are some nice areas in winnipeg? Is there alot of place with cheap rent?
Everything is relative. If you are coming from Vancouver or Toronto, Winnipeg has cheap rents. I would need more information to advise you properly. Depends on where work would be, if you have a vehicle or not, what amenities you want in your neighbourhood, etc.
St. James is nice, I used to live out on Hamilton Street where you'd be able to catch 5 buses and compared to Toronto there where really on time like clockwork every single morning.
St. Boniface is really nice too, it's the French Quarter of Winnipeg where everyone speaks French, the area around St. Boniface Hospital is neat.
It's all really cheap out there, you can easily get a two floor, two bdrm & bathroom apt. for a mere $590 per month, BUT the wages are a lot lower.
The winters are cold, but in Toronto they are much much much colder, I disagree with everyone else but I lived in both places - just be sure to get a humidifer because you will definitely need one. The Transit out there is about maybe $15.00 per week for a pass, and one transfer is good for 2 hours. Everything is pretty spacious out there espcially in St. Vital around the U. of Manitoba.
Hey, I'm checking out Winnipeg too. I also am looking for cheap rent. I'd be receptive to perhaps rent sharing. I'd like to come up and explore the area. On the map, Winnipeg seems to be near many scenic areas with many small towns near by.
I remember going to Winnipeg for a trip with my class in grade 8. It was a tradition to take a one week trip to Winnipeg on the last month of your last year in grade school. On that trip I saw different thing I would never have gone to before if I hed gone with my family.
If you come in the summer, you should bring shorts, sandals, tshirts, a swim suit, and towels. For winter warm clothing, mits, boots, toque, ect. Bug spray. Almost all accomodations are located near malls, so if you leave anything behind you can buy it there.
You simply can't miss Manitoba's best tourist attraction: the world's largest Coke can in Portage La Prairie.
Which begs me to ask the question...Who in the hell would portage a canoe across the prairie..you have any idea how far that is?
Here is a shot of my buddy Sharon and I at Patricia Beach, on Lake Winnipeg. This lake is excellent for a day trip from the city, with many nice beaches, and calm shallow water. The province of Manitoba has more than 100,000 lakes, covering one sixth of the province's land mass. Lake Winnipeg is the 5th largest freshwater lake in all of Canada.
In my family it's always a tradition to visit the BDI when we go to Winnipeg. This small outdoor ice cream parlor is located right next to a large pedestrian bridge that stretches over the Red River and into a quiet residential area. Because it's outdoors, BDI is not open at all in the cooler months. This is the only place in Winnipeg I can remember having to stand in line for any length of time, so as with any ice cream place, be warned that the hotter the temperature, the more people you will have to fight to get your delicious ice cream.
Don't be surprised if people around you are asking for something strange called a "Goog Special". It's a local favorite, and something you won't find anywhere else in your travels. It's basically a milkshake with nuts, fudge, whipped cream, blueberries, and some banana strategically mixed together.
I've always loved this place because not only does the atmosphere have a unique retro feel, and ice cream is of excellent quality, but you can essentially get whatever your wild imagination wants. They won't look at you funny if you ask for ... A chocolate and vanilla swirl soft served, dipped in chocolate, dipped in rainbow sprinkles, dipped in butterscotch, dipped in chocolate sprinkles, dipped in strawberry. (I got one of these as a kid, and it was extremely hard to make and to eat!) In recent years I've noticed more options for toppings at well, which can only be a good thing.
