The Geography of Manitoba: Its Land and Its People University of Manitoba Press $54.95, 327 pages Reprinted from the Brandon University Alumni News, June 1996) Manitoba not Really a Prairie Province, new Book Reveals A definitive new book on the geography of Manitoba edited by BU Professors John Welsted and John Everitt (and former BU prof Christoph Stadel , who now resides in Austria) was released recently. The Geography of Manitoba, its Land and its People is the first comprehensive update of Manitoba Geography in more than 25 years and is current to within 3 months of its release date. According to Dr. John Welsted (Geography) the book, which took about 6 years to assemble, is aimed at 2nd year university students, or anyone with an interest in geography. "We provide a good level of detail without trying to be too ultra-technical," Welsted said. "You can pick it up at any point and find something interesting. We're hoping it sets the standard for (future) geography texts. Along with setting standards, the book reveals some interesting facts about the province, like the fact that Manitobans use the term "prairie province" loosely when describing their surroundings. Manitoba is primarily located on the rocky Canadian Shield, and part of it is subarctic tundra; "prairie" areas make up a small portion of the province. Contributors (47 in total) ranged from experts in botany, history, political science, geology and geography, as well as community planners, a museum curator and church minister. A number of them are BU or Brandon College grads, including

A comprehensive work with case studies and over 200 maps, diagrams and photographs." EVOLUTION OF THE STRATHCLAIR DISTRICT William G. Hillman, B.Sc.(Hons), B.Ed., M.Ed. Assistant Professor ~ Brandon University, Brandon, MB Canada Enter here to see a sampling of reviews about the book Early activity in the area, that would eventually evolve into the Strathclair district, was centred on the Little Saskatchewan River and its valley about midway between Riding Mountain and the Assiniboine River (Figure 1) Area Map . The Little Saskatchewan, a tightly- meandering tributary of the Assiniboine, flows south out of Lake Audy and Clear Lake in what is now Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) and then follows a generally southeastward course through a fertile, deeply-entrenched, heavily-treed valley. Members of at least two early exploratory expeditions, those led by Dickinson and Hind, recognized this valley as one of the best in the northwest in terms of beauty and settlement potential. Along with the deep fertile alluvial soils, the valley contained an abundance of good water, wood, pasture and gravel deposits, as well as offering a relatively easy transportation route for water cargo. It is where the river turns southeast at 36-17-22 that the first settlement took form. The location also gave the settlement its name The Bend (Figure 1)

Geography Easternmost of the Prairie Provinces, Manitoba is bounded on the N by Nunavut (with a northeast shoreline on Hudson Bay), on the E by Ontario, on the S by Minnesota and North Dakota, and on the W by Saskatchewan. The south and central part of Manitoba was once covered by Pleistocene Lake Agassiz ; as its waters receded into Hudson Bay, it left behind numerous lakes (the largest being Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Winnipegosis) and rivers (including the Nelson, Churchill, and Hayes) that flow northeast into the bay. In some places underlying rock formations were swept bare; in others they were covered with rich deposits of black loam. An expanse of almost uninhabited tundra surrounds the port of Churchill.

Churchill, on Hudson Bay, is the only port for Manitoba and the rest of the prairie provinces. This harbour is used for shipping grain to the world. Manitoba was the first province to develop the wheat industry. There are only three ice-free months a year that allow for the shipments to be sent. The Canadian Shield limits the amount of farming performed in the northern area, but there are some forestry and mineral operations. Most of the grain production comes from farms in the fertile south. Mid to southern Manitoba is dominated by lakes and rivers. The majority of the population is centered in the southern third of the province.

Hafeli Chase Secondary School, Chase, BC Chase Home Teacher's Page Links Evaluation Introduction Wow, the realty market has taken a beating since 9-11 and the war against terrorism! With our economy in the dumps, many resource-based industry towns and agricultural regions are feeling the heat. They are in need of some new people to fill the jobs being vacated by retiring baby-boomers. They need doctors, teachers, carpenters, plumbers, salespeople, nurses, pavers, mill workers, cowboys, butchers, and farmers and many, many more- the list goes on! With many retirees moving to more moderate climates, the Come Live Here Realty Company is having a tough go of it as well. In desperation, they have decided to launch a campaign to re-populate rural Western Canada before these vibrant rural communities become a thing of the past. Natural resource and agricultural communities are the lifeblood of BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba and they can’t afford to lose any more people! Of course, that’s where YOU come inÂ

The "Little Saskatchewan" has had several other names. It was referred to as the River St. Peter by LaVerendrye. In 1806, Alexander Henry speaks of it as the "Rapid River". The Okanase people called it Keeseesatchewan , "Rapid Flowing River". Early Europeans called "Riding Mountain" the "Fort Dauphin Mountain". The Okanase Band called the mountain Wowwaswajicus , "The Hill of the Buffalo Chase".
