Manitoba is a huge province with comparably
few residents. Instead of hordes of people, you will find
immense countryside that is as diverse as its population: Manitoba is the center of the cultural festival
Folklarama, a celebration of Canada’s
ethnic communities. It also has a vibrant international mix, which includes Icelandic, Japanese and Italian.
In Manitoba, utter
peace and quiet is apparent as you amble around a landscape that is carved up into sprawling
rivers, desert
dunes and
forest. You can travel from sub-Arctic coastline
to fields that bloom with a startling patchwork of red, yellow and purple. When the sun sets into the flat, open land, the sky can often turn similar, sumptuous colors.
This abundance of nature is a
haven for wildlife, which is why Manitoba is home to hundreds of species of birds that flock to the province’s 100,000 lakes and marshes. Additionally, you can expect to see wolves, bears, elk, moose, beavers, polar bears or whales, depending on your location in the province.
Although it gets cold and it is sometimes referred to as the ’Great White North’, Manitoba is supposedly Canada’s
sunniest province.
It is guaranteed that you will have a sunny smile on your face by the time you’ve fully explored this wide-ranging wonderland.
GeographyManitoba is bordered by the US states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south, Saskatchewan to the west, Ontario to the east, and the Northwest Territories and Nunavut to the north. It is the easternmost of Canada’s three Prairie Provinces, and also known as Heartland Canada as well as the ‘Land of 100,000 Lakes’. The landscape is diverse, ranging from rolling farmland to sandy beaches on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, and from the desert landscape of the south to northern parkland covered by lakes, forests and sub-Arctic tundra.
