Let's face it: we always knew that Winnipeg was Canada's Cultural Capital. We've been the slurpee capital of the WORLD for ten years running!
Not to mention, The Guess Who were the first Canadian band to have a #1 hit across Canada. Then there's Guy Maddin, the Weakerthans, the West End Cultural Centre, Folk Fest, the WSO, the WAG, the Manitoba Museum... I could go on.
But it's always nice to be recognized and Winnipeg has been selected as Canada's cultural capital for 2010 by the Federal Government.
So in case you were wondering how popular Winnipeg truly is- Hollywood sure seems to think so. This is a video created in Winnipeg for Destination Winnipeg, Winnipeg's tourism and economic development agency to promote the city:
This is great! Thanks for sharing, Lisa.
