Winnipeg Residents Happy To Be Here
Winnipeg - Often characterized as a self-deprecating city, a new Probe Research Inc. survey conducted exclusively for the Winnipeg Free Press finds no shortage of civic pride among Winnipeg residents.
When asked if they have a generally positive or negative outlook on their city, an overwhelming majority of Winnipeg adults (82%) looked favourably upon their hometown, as three-in-ten (29%) registered their outlook on Winnipeg as very positive and the remaining 53 percent voiced a somewhat positive impression of the city. Less than one-in-five Winnipeg adults, on the other hand, offered a dim view of Winnipeg (18% very or somewhat negative).
Winnipeg adults were also asked if they are now more or less proud to call Winnipeg home as they were five years ago. A majority of citizens (54%) are just as proud of their city today as they were five years ago although those who report a change in their civic viewpoint are almost three times as likely to express a growing (31%) rather than a declining sense of pride (12%).
