Manitoba Day, May 12th 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. And the winner of the Made in Manitoba Gift Basket 2009 is… The Pembina Threshermen’s Museum! Forty museums were entered in this year’s draw, another record number! The AMM, and Culture, Heritage, Tourism & Sport, would like to thank all of the participating museums and we look forward to working with you again next year.
