Manitoba is Canada's central province and one of the most dynamic and progressive regions of the country.
With the career opportunities, family activities and balanced lifestyle you are seeking in a new home, Manitoba reflects the finest elements of our nation, which the United Nations has named the best place to live in the world.
Immigrants from many nations built our Prairie communities, and today people from around the world continue to choose Manitoba as their destination. Offering a rich and varied geography, abundant natural resources, an enviable standard of living and a diversified, growing economy, our province is an ideal place to live, work and raise a family.
For your family's future, make Manitoba your new home.
Take a look at the unique advantages Manitoba offers you and your family.
Manitoba's housing prices are among the lowest in the country.
In Winnipeg, our capital city, you can purchase a three-bedroom family home including a private lot for under $100,000.
Overall, expect to pay less in Manitoba for personal living costs than in other provinces - among the lowest rates for auto insurance, electricity and retail sales tax.
Our province also offers you world-class publicly funded health care and an education system that compares with the best anywhere.
Winnipeg is a major economic and cultural centre for Canada's Prairie region, with more arts and entertainment choices than many larger cities. Yet, it retains the spirit of community and warm hospitality that distinguishes towns across the province.
Manitoba is one of Canada's most diverse provinces, in both geography and the ethnic background of its people, with over 100 languages spoken, and arriving from over 100 different source countries in 2006.
These are important advantages for the province's tourism industry, economic development and enviable lifestyle. The variety of activities available makes Manitoba an exciting place to live, while the dozens of celebrations of our many heritages across the province help to build a broad sense of community and respect for others.
Whether you seek outdoor adventure or a magnificent place to relax, our pristine natural environment has it all, year round. You can canoe a wilderness river, cast your line for trophy fish, ski through virgin snow, soak up sun on a quiet beach or stroll down a leafy forest trail - all within a short drive of any community in Manitoba.
Think Manitoba, where your future begins and the exhilaration of life never ends.
