"I'm at the office by 11:30 a.m. and I've already done three hours of work. No phones are ringing, no Blackberry messages are coming through and nobody's bothering me so I'm not really behind," she said.

There's also a sense of familiarity with the city and the people that comes with a sense of Winnipeg's history. I was born here and went to university here. I know this city pretty well," he said.
