Winnipeg is the capital of the province of Manitoba.
Winnipeg was once Canada's third-largest city (until the 1930s), but, beginning in the 1970s, as the economy evolved away from rural farm-based industry, Winnipeg stalled in growth and dropped to eighth by 2004.
Winnipeg's four universities are the University of Manitoba (undergraduate, graduate school, and medical school), College universitaire de Saint-Boniface affiliated with University of Manitoba, the University of Winnipeg (undergraduate and select graduate programs) and Canadian Mennonite University (private).
