Manitoba

Manitoba is one of Canada's 10 provinces. It borders Saskatchewan to the west, Ontario to the east, Nunavut and Hudson Bay to the north, and the American states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south. The province has a lengthy coastline along Hudson Bay, and contains the tenth-largest fresh-water lake in the world, Lake Winnipeg, along with two other large lakes, Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipegosis. Many uninhabited islands can be found along the eastern shore of this lake. There are thousands of lakes across the province. Manitoba has many festivals and events year round. Every year on the last weekend of August, Morden holds the Corn and Apple Festival, where those who attend can enjoy free corn and apple cider, among other activities. During the weekend of the festival, the town closes off the downtown from vehicles and transforms Stephen St. into a festival ground. The Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival is North America's second largest Fringe Festival, held every July.
