Along with this population were a few hundred white newcomers and about 9,000 Métis in the Red River Colony, with what is now Winnipeg at its centre. Not only was there a huge population explosion after 1900, but so many of the immigrants came from backgrounds other than British or French that the ethnic composition of the entire Canadian population was changed forever.
