彩色生活空间于 温尼伯

Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba province and a diverse city brimming with culture and those who can withstand its harsh and long winters – even by Canadian standards – will find it a hospitable city with many coworking and coliving spaces located conveniently, right in the middle of the country.

Winnipeg changes with the seasons but there is always plenty for remote workers to explore be it during long-term or short-term stays. During the Festival du Voyageur visitors can spot snow and ice sculptures and learn about the traditions of the French Voyageurs, who came to Canada to trade fur. In summer, nomads can enjoy many trendy music and art festivals.

Here are some fun facts about Winnipeg:

- About 780,000 people – known informally as “Peggers” – live here.
