Play in Manitoba

If you are looking for a location that delivers more than just outstanding career opportunities, a move to Manitoba will let you achieve just the right balance of work and play.

Manitoba offers a wide range of cultural and entertainment attractions for you and your family to enjoy. Choose from classical music and opera, high quality theatre, world-class art galleries, or a few fascinating hours in one of the province's many museums.

In rural Manitoba, festivals are held in many of our smaller communities - from Canada's National Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin and the Morris Stampede rodeo to the Icelandic Festival in Gimli and the Trappers' Festival in The Pas. Winnipeggers, too, are always ready for fun, whether at the Folklorama (Canada's largest multicultural celebration), the Red River Exhibition or St. Boniface's Festival du Voyageur.

Adventure or serenity - you'll find it in Manitoba

Those seeking peace and serenity, or rugged outdoor adventure, will find it all in Manitoba's many parks and wilderness areas. Thousands of acres of pristine forest, lakes and rivers await the avid camper, canoeist, hiker, angler and cross-country or alpine skier. Some of the smoothest beaches on the continent are also here, as are cottages on clear blue lakes - just an hour's drive from Winnipeg.
