Manitoba is one of Canada's provinces. A person from Manitoba is called a Manitoban. It is the easternmost of the three Prairie provinces.
Its capital and largest city (containing over one half the provincial population) is Winnipeg. Other important cities and towns include Brandon, Thompson, Dauphin, Swan River, Churchill, The Pas, Selkirk, Portage la Prairie, Gimli, Flin Flon, Steinbach, Morden, and Winkler.
Manitoba borders Saskatchewan to the west, Ontario to the east, Nunavut and the Hudson Bay to the north, and the American states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south.
The province has a coast along Hudson Bay, and contains the eleventh-largest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Winnipeg, along with other large lakes: Lake Manitoba, and Lake Winnipegosis. Manitoba's lakes cover approximately 14.5% of its surface area.
Most of Manitoba's inhabited south, near or in Winnipeg, lies within the prehistoric bed of Glacial Lake Agassiz. This south central part of the province is flat with few hills. Only the southern parts of the province support extensive agriculture. Around 11% of the farmland in Canada is in Manitoba.
The eastern, southeastern, and northern reaches of the province range through coniferous forests, muskeg, Canadian Shield, and up to tundra in the far north. Forests make up almost half of the land base. The forests generally consist of pine, spruce, tamarack, and birch. Much of the province's sparsely-inhabited north and east lie within the irregular granite landscape of the Canadian Shield, including Whiteshell Provincial Park, Atikaki Provincial Park, and Nopiming Provincial Park.
