We explore Manitoba's capital of Winnipeg with curling champ Elisabeth Peters, before heading to the rink for a lesson in how the game is played. At the Prairie Storm Prediction Centre, we learn why Manitoba has such extreme weather and what can be done to predict what's coming. Just outside Winnipeg, the Mariash Quarry provides a peak at Manitoba's ancient history as seen through layers of fossils deposited over 440 million years ago! In Jay's Gee! Ology he explains how tornadoes are formed.
