Abstract	This booklet, one of a series featuring the Canadian provinces, presents a brief overview of Manitoba and is suitable for teacher reference or student reading. Separate sections discuss agriculture, mining, energy, transportation and communication, fishing, forestry, fur trapping, health and social services, education, and political life. Specific topics include the province's varied topography, population distribution, early occupation by the Intuit and Metis Indians, and colonization by European fur traders. The economic importance of manufacturing, service trades, city construction, agriculture and dairy production, nickel and petroleum production, hydroelectric power, transcontinental railways, broadcasting and telephone networks, fishing, forestry, and the fur industry is emphasized. Governmental support for free medical care, public and higher education, and recreational parks is noted. The final section traces Manitoba's political life and describes the main political parties. In addition, a simple map showing Canada's major cities and provinces is provided. (LH)
