Manitoba Hydro aquired Winnipeg Hydro in 2002. It was not an actual purchase per se'. It was more of an agreement to make annual payments to the City of Winnipeg in perpetuity.

Thisresulted in the search for a more predictable revenue stream as described above.

What is a fun place to go in Winnipeg?

Lots of fun places in Winnipeg depending on the season and what is going on. Winnipeg is big into music, very big. Lots of bands you've heard of and likely more than a few you listen to are from Winnipeg so be sure to check out the music scene.

There are still a couple famous bars from back in Winnipeg's hey day's of about 100 years and a couple of blues bars you want to be sure to visit.

There are lots of regular North American activities, if it is your first time to Canada be sure to see an IMAX movie, it's another Canadian invention.

Of course the Forks, you can have lots of fun there. Be sure to take your skates if it is winter.

Then there are a number of really good museums, and cultural centres, which can be a nice break from the music scene and bars.

A place I do not think of as fun but worth a trip is the Canadian Human Rights museum.

Now it may sound funny to suggest another place but Winnipeg has direct flights to another place in Manitoba which may be even more famous, which is Churchill. A visit to Manitoba's Ocean port is not cheap but regardless of season it will be the highlight of your visit to Manitoba or Winnipeg.
