MANITOBA, located almost equidistant from the Pacific and the Atlantic, marks the transition between east and west. At its western border, it shares the fertile grain-growing soil of the prairies. To its east, it blends with the rocky, evergreen-clad lands of northern Ontario.

The southern part of the province is largely agricultural, but Manitoba is noteworthy for its immense water resources and forested northern areas. Large lakes-Winnipeg, Manitoba and Winnipegosis-dominate the map, and countless smaller lakes extend to the province's shoreline on Hudson Bay. Winnipeg, the capital and largest city of Manitoba, is a sophisticated centre that celebrates the diverse cultural heritage of the province and is the home of the renowned Royal Winnipeg Ballet.
