Posted: 2/18/2006 4:06:36 PM | All the small municipalities joined in 1971 under the Unicity act, forming what we know as Winnipeg, with St. Boniface joining 1 Jan '72. So if you were born prior to that year and were not born at the Children's hospital, odds are, you were not born in Winnipeg. And to this day, who does consider Transcona a part of Winnipeg anyways??? :P I remember as a kid bugging my cousins about being St. B trash, after all, Transcona was superiour to all the other municipalities...at least I thought so til we moved away. | |

and i have years of therapy to prove that!!!!!!!!
Seriously, as a kid it seemed a great place to grow up, just when i got older it realized it was too damn far from anything and had to leave lol. The amount of money i have saved on gas since then, but the loss is i am not a great long distance driver  | |
