Pembina Valley Region, Administrative region in southern Manitoba, Canada

Pembina Valley Region is an agricultural area in southern Manitoba where rolling hills and river valleys break up the otherwise flat prairie landscape. The Pembina River runs through the area, carving a valley that gives the region its name and shapes much of its terrain.

The area served as hunting and gathering territory for Indigenous peoples long before European contact, as shown by archaeological sites found across the region. In the 19th century, Mennonite and other settler communities arrived and gradually turned the land into the farming region it is today.

The region is known for its Mennonite roots, which are still visible today in local food, place names, and some traditional building styles. Towns like Altona and Winkler host community events and markets that reflect this background.

The region is best explored by car, as highways link the main towns and the distances between points of interest are too far to cover on foot. Summer and early autumn offer the most comfortable conditions for outdoor visits across the area.

Near Morden, one of the largest collections of mosasaur fossils in Canada was found in the local prairie, making this area one of the few places in the country where such marine reptile remains have been recovered on land. The Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre in Morden displays some of these original fossils.
