Manitoba Day – May 12!

What makes May 12 Manitoba Day?

On May 12, 1870, The Manitoba Act, which created the Province of Manitoba, was given Royal Assent, paving the way for the proclamation on July 15, 1870. On May 12, 1966, Manitoba’s official flag was dedicated and unfurled for the first time. In 1986, May 12 was designated as Manitoba Day in perpetuity, in recognition of the importance of this day in the history of the Province.

To celebrate our province’s birthday take in some of its almost 200 museums. There are museums on everything from agriculture to zoology. Electricity to magic and they can have dressed fleas or even UFOs.

Keep checking this site as we’ll be posting special events being held at Manitoba museums to celebrate Manitoba’s birthday.
