Pembina Valley Region

Pembina Valley Region is an agricultural area in southern Manitoba with rolling hills, river valleys, and varied forests of aspen and oak. The landscape shifts between farmland and grassland in a gently undulating terrain.

The area was a hunting ground for Indigenous peoples, as evidenced by archaeological sites like Clay Banks. European settlement transformed it from traditional hunting territory into farmland.

The region hosts museums that showcase local stories of farming, rail transport, settlement, and Indigenous peoples spread across several towns. These spaces reflect how communities value and remember their shared past through preserved buildings and collections.

Visitors can explore the region by car via highways connecting towns like Morden, Altona, and Winkler. Summer and early autumn are ideal times to visit when weather is mild and farmland is actively growing.

Holiday Mountain near Manitou becomes a winter sports center with skiing and sledding. The hill creates a striking contrast to the flat farmland surrounding it and draws visitors in both seasons.
