The "cultural" sphere is an interesting one to look at. We're the biggest concert stop between Calgary and Toronto so people from all over MB and SK, northern ontario and even North Dakota and Minnesota come here to see their favourite artists. We've also gotten some favourable coverage lately in international publications (National Geographic, Vogue). At the risk of riling up rrsklyar I would say the CMHR has put us on the map internationally, at least in certain circles. Thermea is a big destination too. Some of the smug ex-Manitobans-turned-Vancouverites I know seem jealous that Winnipeg has something as cool as Thermea
