Central location
Winnipeg is located in the geographic centre of Canada and North America, making travel time shorter and more convenient for delegates flying in from both coasts to Winnipeg's award-winning airport terminal. Winnipeg is the capital city of Manitoba, a resource-rich province of 1.3 million people bordered by Ontario to the east, Saskatchewan to the west and North Dakota and Minnesota to the south. The city is just 100 km (62 miles) from the United States border.
