ATW 2011 IN WINNIPEGWinnipeg has been described as the “cultural cradle of Canada” and offers an array of talented artists, significant architecture, award-winning musicians and athletes, and legendary festivals and cultural events. The city is a short distance away from hundreds of lakes, and so has a long history of concern for aquatic resources.
