Capital City:
Winnipeg
Manitoba is one of three Prairie provinces and is located in
the centre of Canada bordered by Ontario, Saskatchewan,
Nunavut, Hudson Bay and the United States. For many years,
most Manitobans were of British origin. But changes in
migration and immigration patterns have produced a province
where no ethnic group is numerically dominant.
In Manitoba, you can relax on a beach by the lake, enjoy the
Royal Winnipeg Ballet and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, watch
thoroughbred horse racing at Assiniboia Downs, fly-fish at a
wilderness lodge, or spot polar bears in Churchill during
their annual migration. Manitoba is also home to the
International Peace Garden - the world's largest garden
dedicated to world peace.
About 60 per cent of Manitoba's one million people live in
metropolitan Winnipeg, the provincial capital. The second
largest city is Brandon, in southwestern Manitoba. The name
Manitoba likely comes from the Cree words "Manitou bou", which
mean "the narrows of the Great Spirit."
