About Manitoba

Manitoba is the heart of Canada, where prairies stretch forever and polar bears wander the north. A funny fact about Manitoba: Winnipeg is so cold in winter that locals jokingly call it “Winterpeg”—and they still manage to host outdoor festivals anyway. From big skies to wild wildlife, this province has a little bit of everything.

The capital, Winnipeg, is known for its arts, music, and diverse cultural communities, as well as the iconic intersection of Portage and Main. Manitoba also has deep Indigenous roots and history that continue to shape its identity today.

Nature is everywhere—kayak with beluga whales in Churchill, explore thousands of lakes, or hike through boreal forests. Whether it’s summer days at the beach, autumn hikes, or northern lights dancing across the sky, Manitoba delivers adventure in every season.
