CAMERA-READY LOCATIONS

Manitoba has one of the largest collections of turn-of-the-last-century buildings in North America and has doubled for international locations such as New York, Chicago, London, San Francisco and France. At the same time, you can go from rolling prairies to a coastline and cottage country, a desert oasis to arctic terrain—the options are endless. Check out our guide to filming in Manitoba.
