On This Spot
Winnipeg, MB
This free smartphone app allows visitors to create then-and-now photos on two historical walking tours. Examine the city’s boomtown from 1870-1912 or explore Winnipeg’s history from 1913-1945, a period marked by strife, depression, and war. At each stop users find themselves standing in the exact spot as the person who took the historic photograph so you can compare what the city was then and how it is today.
