Winnipeg X-Markers...

Don't live there, but used to fly there on company business regularily.

Not a huge celtic population out there. Mostly French, Greek, and Ukranian. Although, I recall that everyone there was incredibly friendly and inviting, so I wouldn't forsee any negativity with some kilted escapades.

I posted this link under Highland Clearances but in case you haven't seen it here it is - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...ds/6911340.stm - according to this Winnipeg was founded by Scottish settlers from the Highland clearances so there should still be one or two about!

Very cool, I missed your other post about it.
I'll have to look for the statue in Winnipeg when we're out there in October.

According to Wikipedia, of the ancestral background of people in Winnipeg today, the highest percentage of people are English, followed by German, then Scottish. Irish ranks about 5th or 6th.
