Million for Manitoba League aims to grow population
Manitoba forms the Million for Manitoba League to attract settlers by offering free information through local committees. The province, a gateway to the grain belt, has ample vacant land for homesteads and potential rural population growth estimated near 800,000 without congestion. Rail access and growing markets support farming, stock, dairying, and mixed enterprises, with Winnipeg and other cities serving as local markets.
