Here is an example of what you will find in cities like Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, and Edmonton:


This is my picture of Winnipeg.

The thing that sets Winnipeg a part is the sure number of mature Elm trees that it has. Literally every neighbourhood, except for one, that is not a recent subdivision looks like this. Regina, Saskatoon and Edmonton have this as well, but the difference is that in Winnipeg it is harder to find a neighbourhood without canopies like this than it is to find one with it.

Don't get me wrong though, I have seen what Dutch Elm can do, and my greatest fear is that the lack of effort that the city puts into keeping and replanting a proper canopy will leave it like a lot of Eastern cities that have already lost their Canopies.
