Moving to Winnipeg? Here’s what the city is all about!
Welcome to the capital of Manitoba! You may be pleasantly surprised by the history and the number of activities there are to do in this quaint city in the prairies.
Once you’re all settled-in, in “the ‘Peg”, you can start discovering your new city, starting with grabbing a bite to eat. Winnipeg is a hub for new restaurants – if you’re craving a certain dish, you can bet you’ll find a restaurant that serves it. The city is also well known for its winter experiences, a thriving center of arts, dance, music festivals, and an eclectic club scene.
History
Winnipeg is a river city, with rivers flowing throughout the city. Two of the most well-known rivers are the Assiniboine River which flows into the Red River, eventually making their way to Lake Winnipeg. The meeting point between these two rivers is now called “The Forks” which is a public space downtown where city dwellers gather for celebration and recreation.
Things to Do
There is so much to do in Winnipeg. We’ve curated a list of some of the things that are worth checking out to help you hit the ground running when you arrive in the city!

Two Small Men is also proud to partner with BigSteelBox to assist our customers with their storage needs. If you choose to move with a moving container, we can help with the loading and unloading process.
BigSteelBoxes are shipping containers, so they are extremely secure. They’re wind, water, and rodent-proof and come equipped with a lockbox that protects your padlock from bolt cutters.
BigSteelBox has locations across Canada, and they offer secure storage at their facilities. This is a very handy option because you’ll only have to load and unload your moving container once, even if you need storage in between your move!
Junk Removal
Let’s face it: one of the worst parts of moving is dealing with junk disposal afterward. You probably have a lot of move-related debris that needs to go such as packing paper or peanuts, Styrofoam, boxes, and more. Maybe you’ve decided it’s time for some new furniture and you’re just not sure how to get rid of that old chair that wouldn’t sell online. We can coordinate the junk removal for you, so after everything you do want is unloaded from our truck, let us load up what you don’t want and take it to the local junkyard for you.
Item Donation
Have stuff you want to get rid of that is gently used, but you haven’t been able to find the time or don’t have the space in your vehicle to get it to a local charity? There’s no reason to hold onto these items past moving day – we can coordinate the item donation for you and have partners in most cities who will happily accept donated goods.
