Winnipeg is the capital city of the province of Manitoba, located in a picturesque location at the confluence of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers. The city is named after Lake Winnipeg, which is located 40 miles from the city center. The area was formerly inhabited by First Nations people, who named the lake “win nipeg,” meaning “dirty water.”
