Manitoba hotels - About Manitoba
Manitoba (English IPA: /ˌmænɨˈtobə/; French /manitoba/) is a province of Canada, spanning 647,797 square kilometres (250,116 sq mi) of North America, and a population of 1,207,959 (2008 estimates).
Manitoba is located in Western Canada and borders the U.S. states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south, Nunavut, The Northwest Territories and Hudson Bay to the north, Saskatchewan to the west, and Ontario to the east.
In 1870 it became the first province created from the territories. Louis Riel named the new Province "Manitoba" which is related to the Algonquian word "Manitou", meaning 'spirit'. Manitoba, in the Red River Valley region, contained the first western colony and settlement of Canada.
Manitoba's provincial flower is the Prairie Crocus, its provincial tree is the White Spruce, and its provincial bird is the Great Grey Owl.
Manitoba is the only Canadian Province with an Arctic deep water sea port, located in Churchill, Manitoba, along Hudson Bay. Manitoba's sea port is the only link along the shortest shipping route between North America, Asia, and Europe.
Its capital and largest city is Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Capital Region has a population of 730,305. Other important cities are Brandon, Thompson, Portage la Prairie, Steinbach, Selkirk, and Winkler.
