Many of Steve’s international colleagues have welcomed us to their cities, favourite restaurants, and other attractions, which makes tagging along extra fun and meaningful. This summer, Steve invited a slew of his fellow Scrum.org trainers to our home town. I was curious to find out what vacationing in Winnipeg would be like from an international perspective. […]
Nuit Blanche – The Most Fun You Can Have with Art
Nuit Blanche is an all-night extravaganza of free art and culture that illuminates cities in more than 120 locations spanning Europe, North America, Australia, and South America.

If you do nothing else on a trip to Winnipeg, visit The Forks
The Forks is Winnipeg’s premier destination for locals and tourists to shop, eat, meet, and play. It’s about a 15-minute walk from where I live, and I visit often. I’m not the only one—the multi-faceted hub boasts about 4 million visitors a year. For a city of 730,000, that’s impressive. If you have a short stay in the Peg, make time to get yourself to The Forks and then send me a thank-you email. […]
