I used to live in the outskirts of Winnipeg ... Charleswood to be
precise ... if I lived there today I'd take my camera out to the
Assiniboine Forest ie adjacent to the Tuxedo Golf Course (where Grant
Ave meets Chalfont Rd I believe) and get some fall nature photo's of the
Poplar, Oak and Maple trees and the birds that call that area home ...
or ...
I'd take the road/highway that follows the very scenic West side of the
Red River out to Lockport and return along the East side ...

FWIW, I carry an older P/S film camera (Olympus Stylus) as I bike to class
(U of Winnipeg). It's small and very lightweight and the resulting photos
are quite acceptable. It cost me less than C$100 about 10 years ago, so
monetary risk is very low as well.
I prefer to keep it loaded with Ilford HP5. Fast enough to handle low
light. Decent enough that photos don't look like newpaper pictures. Cheap
enough for a student's budget. B/W, so I can process the film myself and
then scan the negatives into my personal confuser (PC).
Prior to the Stylus, I had a Rollei 35. Rather quirky but nice photos. It
died an untimely death due when a planet jumped into its path.
There's not a lot of nature to photograph on my ride into/out of downtown
Winnipeg, but there are interesting sights along the way.
