publisher’s note T his magazine has been a shameless promoter of Winnipeg since its launch in 1997. Ciao! expanded WHERE Winnipeg’s scope by touting the city’s best places to residents, rather than out of town visitors. Our thinking: Why limit all the interesting discoveries to one demographic? Since then, Ciao! has championed many great businesses – new ones emerging on the scene as well as long-standing cherished favourites. Food, fashion and home focus, led by an obsession with Winnipeg’s food scene, defined our mission and won local loving readers. Today, we add an exciting extension to our portfolio of publications – a new way to get all the good stuff about Winnipeg. This brand new resource delivers what readers love about Ciao! and WHERE Winnipeg in a new online format. This new guide to Winnipeg is PEGuru.ca and it comes from the same team of Winnipeg gurus scoping out the city, sampling and trying what’s new, to recommend the things that are exceptional. Find ideas on what to do with the family, what to eat and where to eat it or what’s happening around town this weekend. That’s not all though; PEGuru.ca is a tool to find the city’s best local shops, showcased and categorized in an easy to use format. It’s conceived to save time and disappointment by including our best finds, and leaving out the mediocre (just like this magazine!). Above all, PEGuru.ca is a gift to proud Winnipeggers who love this city and love to share what it offers.
