| Province of Manitoba | Camping in the south-east section of Manitoba Posted: Sun August 16, 2009 02:27 AM UTC
We are going to visit the area south of Brandon, and we have not found many places for camping/tenting yet. Does anybody have a suggestion for camping in this area? Would camping be restricted to campgrounds only or are there non-private places where we can pitch a tent outside the towns (looks like most the land is farm land).
Thanks! jp |

| Winnipeg | Best Long-Term Parking Posted: Thu August 13, 2009 03:11 PM UTC
My husband and I are gong to Churchill in October. We live in Minnesota, so we're just planning to drive to Winnipeg and take the flight to Churchill from there. Can anyone suggest a good, cheap and safe place to leave our car? We will be staying a couple of nights in Winnipeg, so our hotel may be an option, but we're not sure where we'll be staying yet. The airport is also probably an option, but I'm guessing that's expensive. If there are any better ideas we'd love to hear them.
We're also looking for suggestions on the best way to spend a few hours on a Sunday morning. That's the only time we'll actually be free to do things in Winnipeg, but I imagine a lot of things will be closed... Thanks! |

| Province of Manitoba | Winnipeg and Gimli Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 04:01 PM UTC
I'm going to be spending a couple of days in Winnipeg in June. I'll be staying at the Place Sant Louis Reil, and was wondering what there might be to do nearby. Also, I was wondering whether anyone could tell me whether the drive to Gimli would be a worthwhile day-trip?
Thanks in advance, Ray J |

| Winnipeg | Malborough Hotel Posted: Wed April 8, 2009 06:17 AM UTC
Can anyone advise me whether it is safe to stay at the Malborough Hotel in downtown Winnipeg. We don't have a car as we are flying into Winnipeg. Is it a safe part of town? Most of the reviews say downtown Winnipeg is crime ridden. Which part of Winnipeg is safe? Please advise.

| Churchill | Tours Posted: Fri March 7, 2008 11:40 PM UTC
Does anyone know of any tour operators who offer simple day trips to see the bears? I don't want a multiple-day package, just one day of viewing the bears. I found one operator that offered this, but they only had a couple of days in October avalable for 2008, and I'd prefer November. Thanks!

| Province of Manitoba | winter RVing in Manitoba Posted: Sat March 1, 2008 03:38 PM UTC
I will be moving to Winnipeg in the fall and am looking for a place within 45 minutes of downtown where I could live in my RV through the winter. Yes, I know about Winnipeg winters, bla, bla, bla. My RV is my permanent home and I have wintered in it before. I just need info on RV parks that are open year round or other options for setting up my RV 'permanently' for the winter.
Thank you, Rae |

| Churchill | AUTUMN TRIP TO CHURCHILL Posted: Wed January 2, 2008 07:46 PM UTC
We are coming over to see the polar bears this Oct/Nov and wondered if anyone has been recently and could give us any tips on whether its better to stay on a tundra buggy or in a hotel in Churchill. If its possible to hire parkas to wear as we don't really want to buy big items like this for the extreme weather conditions. Do you see the northern lights at this time of year and do you need to stay out on the tundra in order to see them. Many thanks.

| Churchill | Churchill & Polar Bears Posted: Mon December 31, 2007 09:31 PM UTC
I've read the previous posting on Polar Bears and Churchill and have a few questions. Recently, there has been increasing exposure of Churchill and it's Polar Bear Tour packages. I'm interested in going up there and snapping photos of the PB's and other wildlife up north (I'm from Edmonton). However, I've looked at some of the tours and most of them specify me having to arrange my own transport to Churchill. Ok, expedia can't help me, and AirCanada apparently doesn't go there, so WHO DOES? How does one get from Edm to Churchill? I can guess I have to get to Winnipeg first, then take off from there. Any help? My travel agent buddy is on holidays so he can't help me! Also, has anyone had any experience with these tours in Churchill? Any recommendations? Expected pricing? Length of stay required? thanks!

| Winnipeg | moving to winnipeg Posted: Tue November 6, 2007 11:32 PM UTC
I'm thinking of moving from Calgary to Winnipeg . Recently visited and had some concerns about the city, ie; employment, crime, etc... I can handle the cold, but what is the quality of life really like. Is there a lot of rational tension between the native and non-native population. Downtown did seem a bit bleak with a disenfranchised, drunks hanging around. Although Calgary has its share of the same problem (maybe less visible). As well, can anyone give me an idea of what Winnipeg is like for artists?

| Churchill | Churchill in February? Posted: Thu October 11, 2007 04:05 PM UTC
Hi all,
what can I realistically expect/hope to see in February? From my readings, I understand that this is the best time to see the northern lights, but will I see any polar bears? I don't really have the opportunity to go at any other time of year unfortunately (to see belugas, wildflowers, birds). Thanks! |

We are staying in winnipeg and then heading to Dauphin, we are hoping to move to Manitoba next year so we are going to visit a few different areas in Manitoba. I would welcome suggestions for places to visit while on our trip. |

| Province of Manitoba | parka and boot hire in winnipeg Posted: Tue February 20, 2007 11:29 PM UTC
Hi
My husband and I are coming to Churchill in November this year. Of course coming from Australia we don't have the extra warm outer clothing that will be needed for this trip, we did go to Antarctica a little while back but we've been told we'll need even warmer clothing than we took there. Want to know if stores in the city (Winnipeg) hire out clothing for visitors for approximately 7 days and what the going rates are. By the way I've tried the web but keep going round in circles, ending with sites that want to sell me clothing. Don't need the extra weight and baggage room involved. Thanks |

| Arborg | Entertainment, bars, restaurants & liquor stores Posted: Mon July 24, 2006 03:58 PM UTC
We will be in Arborg for a couple of weeks during early October on a hunting trip. What type of entertainment is there or nearby? Are there any bars or nightclubs? What are the best restaurants in the area? Are there package liquor stores in Arborg? What types of beer are sold, and what is the approximate cost? We have been told that you only get Canadian beer.
