The Pembina Valley / Central Plains
district lies along the border with North Dakota and follows the
Red River north to Winnipeg. Of all the districts of Manitoba,
this one seems to have the largest Internet presence for its communities!
The largest community is Portage la Prairie, lying almost halfway
between Winnipeg and Brandon. Visitors from the US driving to
Manitoba will mostly likely enter the province at the border crossing
at Emerson. This district is also home to Manitoba's only desert,
near the town of Glenboro.
