Down to Earth

With affordable housing and a high standard of living, Manitoba is a great place to live and do business. In Winnipeg, the median price for a home is about 80% of the national average. Known for its more than 7,000 acres of urban parkland, fresh water, golf courses, and unique neighbourhoods, Winnipeg is a clean and safe community.

One of Canada's most diverse cities, Winnipeg is home to 40 different cultural groups and the second largest French-speaking community outside of Quebec. Eighty languages are spoken here.

Winnipeg is a city rich with history and culture. It is home to the prestigious Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Manitoba Theatre Centre, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Winnipeg Art Gallery and dozens of others. It is also a centre for professional sports, with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (CFL football), Manitoba Moose (IHL hockey), Winnipeg Goldeyes (Northern League baseball), and the Winnipeg Cyclone (IBA basketball).

Manitoba is renowned for its varied landscapes, including: some of the most acclaimed beaches in North America, beautiful national and provincial parks, rolling prairie, parkland, and, in the extreme North, tundra. This makes Manitoba an ideal province for camping, fishing, hunting and outdoor recreation.
