Manitoba North

Manitoba’s largest region is home to many cities, towns and communities nestled in a vast landscape of pristine wilderness.

Our four-season playground is made for golf, hiking, skiing, boating, fishing, hunting, and snowmobiling – the possibilities are only limited by your desire and imagination.

Thompson was founded in the 1950s and is the largest city in the Northern Region of Manitoba. The city is surrounded by boreal forest and bordered on the west and north by the Burntwood River. It is home to incredible outdoor hunting and fishing opportunities, as well as the Spirit Way - a 2 km walking and biking pathway with points of interest that highlight Thompson’s art, heritage, culture, industry, geology, scenery and industry.

The Pas, Manitoba is known as the "Gateway to the North". It is a hub for outdoor activities and is recognized for its vibrant culture, including Indigenous events like the Opaskwayak Indian Days and the Northern Manitoba Trappers Festival. The Pas also has a history as a fur trading post and is home to the University College of the North.
