We’re so excited to hear that the Junos will be back in town, after being here last in 2005. It was such a great thing for our beautiful city. Chuck Davidson, vice-president of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, said the Junos brought more than $5.5 million in economic spin offs to the local economy in 2005! It could be even more than that for our city this coming time. Not only that, but as the city revitalizes with the Human Rights Museum opening and the new football stadium, beautiful changes are happening.

We are excited to be downtown and a part of this initiative.

We love our clients!

To the staff at the Malborough Hotel,

A BIG thank you to the staff (especially Jacquie). It was a very unusual wedding, but everyone from the kitchen staff to the bartender were very gracious and patient throughout the whole evening. I love the Marlborough!

Sincerely, Richard Graham

To the staff at the Malborough Hotel,

We just wanted to express our sincere thanks for the amazing evening we had for the 50th wedding anniversary. The staff ensured everything ran smoothly and that guests were well looked after. We had nothing but compliments all night long on how wonderful everything was and how amazing the food was! Huge thank you to the chef and team, the food was fantastic! As well, huge thank you to all the banquet managers that were on hand the day before helping set up the ballroom from folding napkins and placing favors to the evening of with cutting of the cake and taking care of special liquor requests. They made sure everything we needed was well taken care of for us. And last but not least, a very special thank you to Grace Rents who helped us plan the entire evening. Grace was very helpful and was available whenever we had a question, she had an answer! She answered all of our questions quickly and easily and we are very grateful for all of her help in the months leading up to the party. Thank you again Grace for everything!!

Sincerely,
the Settanni Family

Each and every day approximately 100,000 employees, students, residents and tourists make their way to downtown Winnipeg for a variety of activities. Whether for work or play, downtown Winnipeg offers something for everyone. According to Winnipeg Police, the downtown crime rates have steadily dropped since 2001 with less than 10% of assaults and robberies occurring in the downtown area.

Knowing the downtown Winnipeg area is safe should provide peace of mind, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t follow some basic safety tips to decrease the chance you may run into trouble. Below are some safety tips to follow when staying in downtown Winnipeg.

Keep Hotel Key Out of Sight

Downtown Winnipeg hotels attract thousands of business and vacation travelers each year. When staying in one of Winnipeg’s downtown hotels you should do your best to conceal your hotel room key. Thieves are much more likely to rob someone they know is out of town and unfamiliar with the area. Keep it concealed and be careful mentioning you are from out of town.

Dealing with Panhandlers

It is illegal in downtown Winnipeg to panhandle, but you may be approached. Walking with a purpose will reduce the likelihood you will get approached in the first place. If you do, firmly yet respectfully say, “No I can’t help you.” Keep walking and do not engage in further conversation.

Street Safety

If you can avoid going out at night then do so. If you can’t, make sure you stick to well lit main streets and bring a friend or coworker. Crimes occur when they can be done quickly without being noticed.

If carrying a purse, keep it between your arm and body. Avoid using the shoulder straps. Also, carry a personal alarm with you for safety in the event of an emergency.

Following these safety tips should help you avoid any problems. Have fun in downtown Winnipeg, and be safe!

Folklorama features native folklore, ethnic cuisine, artifacts, souvenirs from the number of different countries, and is been run in two stages. The first week presents more than 20 pavilions in the downtown area as well as around the city, and the second week features 20 plus pavilions showcasing the different corners of the world.
