From web - Portage la Prairie (pronounced /ˈpɔrtɨdʒ lə ˈprɛəri/ in English) is a city in the Central Plains Region of Manitoba, Canada. As of 2006, the population was 12,728. The area of the city was 24.67 square kilometers (9.5 sq mi). It is located approximately 70 kilometres (45 miles) west of Winnipeg and sits on the Assiniboine River, which flooded the town persistently until a ditch north to Lake Manitoba (the Assiniboine River Floodway) was built to divert the flood waters. The name is derived from the French word portage, which means to carry a canoe overland between waterways. In this case the "portage" was between the Assiniboine River and Lake Manitoba, over la prairie. According to Environment Canada, Portage la Prairie has the most sunny days in warm months in Canada.

This blog is to share some photo, some experience of my tours to different festivals, events and tourist spots in Manitoba. One most significant character of this province is it's raw, wild nature. Manitoba preserves, maintains and also focuses it's nature all over it's area. Many of the introductions of different posts are taken from different websites.
