Compiled by the Road Trip Manitoba team

Manitoba is the 5th largest province in Canada in terms of population, and it sits at the exact longitudinal center of the country.

The province is home to many professional sports teams (including the Winnipeg Jets and Winnipeg Blue Bombers), and is also called the “Curling Capital of Canada” by some.

There are also some really cool famous Manitobans – especially when it comes to music. There’s Neil Young, Chantal Kreviaziuk, Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, and many more.

But those are pretty well-known facts. We want to know… how well do you really know Manitoba? Whether you are an aspiring Manitoba traveller, a frequent visitor, or a resident of this stunning province, we bet we can stump almost all of you who take this quiz based on Manitoba facts.

Good luck. Be sure to share it with your friends in order to compare scores!
