When Europeans pushed into the land that's now Manitoba in the late 1600s, they went for the wildlife. Or more accurately, they went for the wildlife's fur. The Hudson Bay Company from England set up a post in Churchill and this company became one of the most successful businesses of its tme.

Today, the province's rich supply of wildlife and fishy creatures draws many anglers and hunters from all over the world. The majority of the visitors travel to the far north of the province where both fishing and hunting is at its best. For more information on Manitoba go to www.travelmanitoba.com
