Manitoba viewers of Wednesday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy may have noticed a few references to a familiar name.

The long-running U.S. hospital drama, set in Seattle, featured two mentions of Winnipeg’s St. Boniface Hospital, although the actors’ pronunciation of “Saint Bonny Face” left a little to be desired.

In one scene, a doctor takes a phone call from “Sylvia Williams at St. Boniface Winnipeg”, and in another, a character asks “St. Boniface… where is that?”

Pronunciation aside, this isn’t the first time Winnipeg has appeared as a location – or a punchline – on American TV.
