Trashcona (aka T-town, T-Compton, or God’s Country) is the nickname given to the Transcona Community Area of Winnipeg, making reference to its trashy women and trashy yards. The truths behind each statement are that in the 1960s pink flamingo ornaments caught on in a big way in transcona, making everyones yards look trashy. And in the 1980s Winnipeg had
the highest teen pregnancy rate in all of Canada. A breakdown of Winnipeg’s
statistics showed nearly all of these pregnancy’s to be in Transcona, with the local high school opening up a daycare for its students to drop their kids off while they went to grade 10, 11 or 12.
