Happy Manitoba Day! Celebrate with a FREE Activity Booklet!

152 years ago today, on May 12, 1870, Manitoba officially became a province when the Manitoba Act was created, passed by the Parliament of Canada, and received Royal Assent. The province was founded on the traditional territory of the Cree, Anishinaabe, Oji-Cree, Dakota/Lakota (Sioux), and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

Known as the “Keystone” province due to its shape and location, Manitoba has a lot to offer. From our 100,000 lakes and waterways, our numerous cultural and musical festivals, to our beautiful historic sites, there are so many reasons to celebrate our wonderful province!

We have created a free activity booklet for children to celebrate 152 years of our diverse and vibrant province. Filled with colouring activities, word searches, Manitoba trivia, fun facts, and more, this activity book is fun for kids of all ages! Download the FREE printable below.
