Winnipeg Sights

Neighborhood character in Winnipeg is forged in part by residents' cultural heritage. The Eastern European influence registers strongly in the North End, which begins on Main Street north of downtown and contains onion-domed Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox churches. Turn west from Main down Selkirk Avenue for the shops and restaurants that pay tribute to the roots of late-19th-century European settlement. For a vivid sense of the cultural shift since the 1980s, take Ellice Avenue, into the West End neighborhood, where Portuguese, Indian, and Vietnamese shops and eateries rub shoulders. The St. Boniface area, east of the Red River, honors this region's French heritage, offering historic buildings as well as modern culinary adventures. Street signs in this historically French-speaking community are labeled in both French and English. More »
