In their 125 years here, Mennonites have contributed much to the prosperity and character of southern Manitoba. Who would have thought that this group of Russian farmers would have such an impact on the land - and the people? Mennonites settled the virgin prairie and made it the bread basket of Canada. Today numerous successful Mennonite businesses operate across North America, energizing Manitoba's vibrant economy. And if Manitoba can be thought of as having a soul, the Mennonites have done much to cultivate and enrich Manitoba's qualities as a caring, peaceful, and generous people.
