Winnipeg might have something similar to Thunder Bay, where the population is stagnant but the demographics are changing. The non-aboriginal population decline by 1%, but was more than offset by a 25% growth in the aboriginal population. And while the average white person is 45, the average native is 25.
Looking at immigrants and non-immigrants you probably won't notice that, but if you take a look at population change among the aboriginal and non-aboriginal populations you might see something similar. Virtually all of Thunder Bay's non-aboriginal population gains are from immigrants.
