The satellites travel north along the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border into (barely) NWT, across to the west, then down the Saskatchewan/Alberta border towards the US. There are multiple satellites that follow this pattern, so chances are you should be able to "see" the Manitoba/Saskatchewan one on the northerly leg most of the time.So your antenna needs to "see" slightly to the West of your location, but mostly straight up.
However you can be off by quite a large angle from pointing directly at the satellite. For example I had my antenna along the 4/12 pitch of a roof just above the gutters, and on the north side of the building and very close to the northernmost arc (we're talking north of the 58th parallel) and never once experienced dropouts.
So maybe you are worrying too much about it. Do the best you can and see how that works for you. Winnipeg might also have repeaters within or near the city, which significantly reduces problems. I think you will be fine if you can just get it outdoors and not upside down.
