Yes, it was on May 12, 1870 that The Manitoba Act was given Royal Ascent, creating Canada's 5th Province. Of course, you all knew that already, right ?!
Efforts have been made over the past few years to link the almost ignored Manitoba Day with heritage events. You'll find that many museums and heritage sites around the province have special programming or admission prices for the the 12th of May or the days surrounding it - that's why I am posting this a bit early.
