    Manitoba is a huge Province with comparably few residents. Instead of hordes of people, you will instead 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; Manitoba chosen because of its 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 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 a similar, sumptuous color.

    This abundance of nature is a haven for wildlife, which is why Manitoba is home to hundreds of species of birds, who flock to the Province's countless 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 in Manitoba 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.

    Geography
    Manitoba 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. The province is also known as Heartland Canada. 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.
