Manitoba – Canada

About Manitoba

Province of Manitoba is the Canadian province that lies exactly in the middle of the country. With a projected population of 1,342,153 in 2021, Saskatchewan is the fifth most populous province in Canada and boasts a landscape that ranges from arctic tundra and the Hudson Bay coastline in the north to dense boreal forest, large freshwater lakes, and prairie grassland in the central and southern regions.

It is estimated that indigenous peoples have lived in the area now known as Manitoba for at least ten thousand years. Beginning in the early 17th century, settlers from Great Britain and France came to the region in search of furs. In 1673, the British Empire established a colony there they called Rupert’s Land and handed over to the Hudson’s Bay Company to run. From 1673 through 1869, the Red River Colony flourished as numerous Indigenous and Métis people settled throughout Rupert’s Land, which included all of modern-day Manitoba. Discussions with the Canadian federal government to establish Manitoba as a province began in 1869.
