    It should also be remembered that Winnie the Pooh is named after Winnipeg. Take that, Teddy Ruxpin!

      Yes I can confirm! We also have (or at least had) a statue of Winnie at our zoo!

        Hello fellow Winnipegger.

        I think we might have statue at Leo Mol Sculpture Garden or around it.
