As I sit here, attempting to sober up, here are a few pictures that I've found recently:

One of the more dramatic images of Bloody Saturday, 1919. Mounted police round the bend in front of the Confederation Life building. It is incredible to imagine what that day must have been like. To go back in time and stand on Main Street...

I have heard of some people who were were adults living in Winnipeg in that year, who never talked about it


Sir A.M. Nanton--the only knight that I know of that permentantly resided in Winnipeg. The gate-house of his former Roslyn Road estate is now a private residence


Here is a near-mythical view of Portage and Main c.1920s--when Winnipeg was a much, much bigger city than it is today
