What’s your favourite thing to do (or place to visit) in Winnipeg?

What question are you asked most frequently by clients and prospects?
The question we get asked the most is “How did you come up with this idea?” Erica and I were working on a longitudinal study at the University of Manitoba. I was the research coordinator and Erica was the x-ray technologist. We did Dexa scans on study participants as part of a data collection on bone health. On a regular basis we had participants ask if we were taking more participants, which we were not. We soon began to realize that this was a screening that people wanted and should have access to.
