Manitoba motto

Manitoba  the land of 100,000 lakesManitoba is in the heart of Canada. It is renowned for dramatic landscapes, cultural tradition with warm and friendly people. Recognized as the land of 100 000 lakes, a legacy of enormous Lake Agassiz, which covered much of the province after the glaciers retreated. Manitoba is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada. Two-thirds of Canada's 500-plus species of birds come here, drawn here by the waters. Manitoba is a premier wildlife-watching destination with among the highest densities of moose, elk and black bear. Over 29,000 square kilometres (11,000 square miles!) of widely varying parklands are ready for exploring.
