We Heart Winnipeg

Things we absolutely love to see

Origins of the WHITEOUT: Lori Summers, former director of community relations with the Jets, Curt Keilback, the voice of the team, and ad exec Rod Palson discuss being blown away by the first Whiteout at Winnipeg Arena in 1987.

On this day 44 years ago Terry Fox, a 21 year old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day and made it 143 days and 5,373 km before he lost his battle with cancer

With 150-200 restaurants in Winnipeg that enter Burger Week every year and pay fees to a company from Montreal that supports the event very little, it's about time that we started our own. Looking forward to this local competition, with local support, and a local charity!

Turns out someone has already started selling "Fraud Squad" merchandise: (disclaimer: I'm not affiliated, just sharing what's been tweeted at me)
