Travel to friendly Manitoba

This blog entry was going to be another list - in this case, a list of distances from Winnipeg to other locales in Manitoba. But then I thought I'd put some context to it.

Check out the Travel Manitoba site. There's all you need to plan a trip to the province that is the geographic centre of the country.

You can download maps: North of 53, Parkland, Interlake, Eastern, Western, Central Plains, Pembina Valley and Winnipeg.

There's information on many activities: beaches, entertainment, fairs & festivals, golf, hiking & camping, historical sites, hunting & fishing, museums & galleries, outdoor recreation, performing arts, professional sports, shopping & dining, and urban parks.

Oh, and here's the list. The distances are in kilometres:
