After Canada was created in 1867, one of the key goals was to increase the size of the country and bring more provinces into Confederation. They will set their sights on moving westward – Manitoba will be the 5th province to join Confederation in 1870. What did this area have to offer? Why did Canada want it to be part of the country? What challenges arose adding this province into Confederation? All of this will be explored in Unit 6 “Manitoba Enters Confederation”
