Description
If it's one thing Manitoba has in plentiful supply, it's water. Much of the central and northern part of the province consists of lakes and rivers. And, in the south, the Souris River feeds the Assiniboine River and flows on to join the Red River in Winnipeg - making much of this area a potential flood plane.
Where there’s water and good soil, there’s also the potential for good agriculture. All of the traditional cereal grains are grown in Manitoba, along with corn, canola, flax and soybeans.
For me, the most beautiful crops are canola and flax. And one of the sweetest sights you’ll ever see on the great Canadian plains is when both crops bloom together under a big blue prairie sky.
Over the years, I’ve spent a fair bit of time in Manitoba and enjoyed these experiences:
• The Icelandic heritage of Hecla Island in Lake Winnipeg
• The outdoor adventures of Riding Mountain National Park
• The history and entertainment at The Forks in central Winnipeg
• The arts and crafts of Osborne Village, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the Manitoba capital
• Staying at one of Canada’s grand railway hotels, the Fort Garry (I’ve even taken an overnight sleeper train from Winnipeg to back to Saskatoon)
I have yet to visit Winnipeg’s latest cultural addition, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, but I hope to do so sometime soon.
