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.

That makes sense! I wasn't sure what happened to it after they reno'd the zoo
