Manitoba sits smack dab in the middle of Canada, located at North America’s geographic centre. The province is bordered by Saskatchewan to the west, Ontario to the east, Nunavut Territory to the north, and to the south by North Dakota and Minnesota. Located a scant 104 km (65 miles) north of the American border, Winnipeg is easily accessible by rail, road and air.

Manitoba’s landscape is as enchanting as it is diverse, with prairie grassland in the south and west, rugged Canadian Shield lakes and forests in the east and north, and arctic coastline and tundra in the extreme north.
