Katie May Warriner has lived in Winnipeg all of her life. Despite that, she admits she still finds things in it that astonish her on occasion. While she recently moved to a location outside of the city to experience country living with her growing family, she still lives close enough to continue finding the best things about Winnipeg for us. When she’s not discovering new things about her hometown, she’s spending time with her four kids, as well as the family pets: a Rottweiler Terrier named Dottie and a cat named Chicken.
