Introduction to Manitoba

The Canadian federation has a total of ten provinces. In addition to the three maritime provinces in the southeastern ocean area, there are seven provinces from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. No matter which side you count from, Manitoba is the middle province, and it is an absolute central region. This is also the place where the Arctic Ocean water system converges. The big rivers flowing from the Rocky Mountains in the west all flow into the Hudson Bay here and eventually enter the Arctic Ocean. This is also the world’s polar bear capital. Churchill Port, located at the mouth of the bay, gathers a large number of breeding polar bears at the end of October every year, attracting many tourists to see the world’s largest carnivore.
