In Winnipeg, people joke that there are two seasons — winter and construction… or is that winter and mosquito? But there is a third option — Jets season and Bombers season — even though they overlap during the months of September, October and November.

With the hockey season over until training camp starts up again in September, we can now obsess over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and enjoy the festivals and activities that keep the city and the province hopping during the summer months.

To kick off the summer, here are some of the best images captured by our photographers in the month of June.
