Dating in Manitoba.
A prairie capital where two rivers meet, and long winters spent together.
Most Manitobans live in or near Winnipeg, so the province's dating life runs through one city. Winnipeg mixes long-rooted communities with newer arrivals from the Philippines, India and around the world, plus a French-speaking heart in Saint-Boniface. Outside the city, Brandon, Steinbach and the Interlake towns are close-knit, and many people widen their search to include Winnipeg.
