MANITOBA
Capital cities and major cities
I am doing Capital Cities and Major Cities. Did you know that Winnipeg is the capital city of Manitoba. One of the really major cities is Manitoba is Brandon. It is on the Canadian Pacific Railway and so much beautiful scenery and a lot of trees and mountains. Another thing about Brandon is that they have hosted the Canadian winter. They also have the summer games is that cool or what. Another Major city in Manitoba is Cree Winnipi. The water there is very fresh water.
I am also doing Geography and Climate did you know that the lowland is really cold and it is so cold because they get Permafrost. It is really slippery and you can barely see it. That is why they have the winter games and all of the ice castles and skating. Manitoba also has a lot of low hills and beautiful lakes and thick forests. They also have a lot of snow on the trees and it is really cool. Manitoba has a lot of icy winds. They also have a lot of snow storms.
![]() If you ever go to Manitoba you should go to the Winnipeg festival and the have so many venues and so many rides and games. Manitoba also has so many Children's museums and I think that they would be so much fun. In Manitoba they have a lot of spirit sands and if you don’t know what that is its where all of the snakes live and they are really cool looking and they have a lot of snake dens. I you go to Winnipeg you should definitely go to the MTS Centre and that is where the. Winnipeg jets play their hockey games too. In Manitoba I recommend to go walk with Polar bears that is crazy you could walk with a huge bear so cool. Another thing I recommend is swimming with Beluga's that is really cool I would hold a Beluga and let it pull me around in the water.
