Winnipeg Neighbourhoods: Osborne Village
Osborne Village is so hip that if you were to tell it that it was a cool neighbourhood, it would be all like, “I know, check out my sweet new tattoo. It’s the Golden Boy skating down the Assiniboine River. I got it yesterday morning after embarking on a host of artisanal and sundry endeavours.”

Winnipeg Manitoba Canada - by Andru Valpy
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city in the Canadian province of Manitoba located in the prairies of Western Canada. It is also the geographical heart of North America.
Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba. With around 700,000 people, the city has been a trading center for more than an astonishing 6,000 years. Crowned by the famous Golden Boy, the Legislative Building is considered one of the finest in the country.
Winnipeg is home to historic architecture; distinctive neighbourhoods; scenic waterways; a heritage river; and numerous parks, including Assiniboine Park.
Near the famous crossroads of Portage and Main is the via train station, a station that was designed by the same firm that made Grand Central Station. Close by is the Forks market.
For at least 6000 years, the Forks has been the meeting place for early Aboriginal peoples, and since colonization has also been a meeting place for European fur traders, Métis buffalo hunters, Scottish settlers, riverboat workers, railway pioneers and tens of thousands of immigrants.
The Forks Market's first floor contains mostly food shops, where specialty items can be found as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. The second floor is home to many ethnic shops, as well as a ballet conservatory and a large craft store among other things. Across the large courtyard you may find Johnson Terminal, home of Finn's Pub, an Old Spaghetti Factory, more shops and a large cooperative antique store in the basement. There are often buskers in and around the Forks, who must audition for a buskers license to perform there.
Near the forks is the Esplanade Riel.
The Esplanade Riel is a pedestrian bridge located in Winnipeg, Manitoba designed by Étienne Gaboury of Wardrop Engineering and completed in 2003. It spans the Red River connecting downtown Winnipeg with St. Boniface. It is paired with a vehicular bridge, Provencher Bridge.
The bridge is only one of a few in the world in that it has a restaurant (Salisbury House) on it, giving patrons an excellent view of the river and in its rarely seen structure.
The Esplanade Riel has become a landmark and is used in many promotional materials.
Winnipeg is known for it's cold winters, and above average summers.
This is a spring time version of Winnipeg. By request from viewers like you. Special thanks to Emil for his help.

Winnipeg is the capital and largest city in Manitoba, and a major centre on the Canadian Prairies. About 700,000 people live in the city proper, with about 825,000 in the entire census metropolitan area. The Peg is a city as diverse in and of itself as the whole of Canada. It is a well rounded city with a stable economy. It is a destination for architecture, rivers, history, money (mint), arts, and museums. It has something for everyone — from boutiques to cheap value stores, Winnipeg has a great retail market, where a lot of new concepts are tried.
Winnipeg lies at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, a location currently known as The Forks. This point was at the crossroads of canoe routes travelled by Aboriginal peoples prior to European contact. The name Winnipeg is a transcription of the western Cree word wi-nipe-k meaning muddy waters; the general area was populated for thousands of years by First Nations.
The Red and Assiniboine rivers form Winnipeg's most prominent geographical features, and have played an important role in this city's development. The Forks, where the Assiniboine flows into the Red, has been a meeting place since Aboriginal peoples first came there to trade. Today, it's the city's top tourist destination, with shops and restaurants representing the city's many ethnic groups, and a well-maintained expanse of riverside park. Winnipeg is off the tourist trail for most visitors to Canada, and the visitor will experience an authentic and friendly Canadian Prairie City which leaves many pleasantly surprised.
Corydon Avenue and its surrounding neighbourhood is one of the city’s hot spots for shopping, dining or an afternoon of people watching at one of the many sidewalk cafes and restaurants dotting the avenue. Corydon Avenue comes alive during warm summer evenings as crowds of people gather to meet, greet and to have some of the best food, gelati, and sushi in the city.
Downtown Winnipeg is centred around Portage Avenue and Main Street. Portage Avenue is the city's busiest thoroughfare. Winnipeg Square, the MTS Centre, Portage Place, and the flagship store of The Bay are all located on the downtown section of this street. On Main Street are Winnipeg's City Hall, Union Station, The Manitoba Museum, the Planetarium, the Centennial Concert Hall and the Winnipeg Railway Museum.
The Exchange District is a National Historic Site in the downtown area of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Exchange District today thrives as one of Winnipeg's commercial and cultural centers. Winnipeg's theatre district is also located in the Exchange District, home to the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and Centennial Concert Hall. Old Market Square is also in the Exchange which hosts the Jazz Winnipeg Festival and the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.
The Forks is a historic site and meeting place in Downtown Winnipeg located at the confluence of the Red River and Assiniboine River. The Forks Market contains many specialty food shops, fresh fruit and vegetables, and many ethnic shops. There are often buskers in and around the Forks. Attractions include the Manitoba Theatre for Young People, the Winnipeg International Children's Festival, one of the largest skateparks in Canada, the Esplanade Riel, the world's longest skating trail (winter only), and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Osborne Village has evolved into a neighborhood filled with character. It is Winnipeg's most densely populated neighbourhood, voted the Best Place to Live in Uptown Magazine's 2008 Best of List. Popular annual events include the Canada Day Festival. Osborne Village is home to one of Winnipeg's most vibrant collection of stores and restaurants with over 175 businesses calling Osborne Village home.
Polo Park is Winnipeg's largest retail and entertainment district. The mall of Polo Park has over 200 stores including Hudson's Bay, Sears H&M, and the Cineplex Entertainment movie theatres. It is the 12th largest shopping centre in Canada and the largest between Toronto and Edmonton.
The West End is a mostly residential area just west of Downtown Winnipeg. The area is very ethnically diverse as is evidenced by the Portuguese, Greek, Vietnamese, Chinese, East Indian and Thai restaurants that line both Ellice and Sargent Avenues, making it one of the best areas for real ethnic food.
