154 years ago today, on May 12, 1870, Manitoba officially became a province. The province was founded on the traditional lands of the Cree, Anishinaabe, Oji-Cree, Dakota/Lakota (Sioux), and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

Manitoba is known as the “Keystone” province due to its shape and location in the centre of Canada. From our 100,000 lakes and waterways, biodiversity, our numerous cultural and musical festivals, to our beautiful built heritage, there are so many reasons to celebrate our wonderful province!
