Government Manitoba: History and People History The nomadic Assiniboine Indians were among the first inhabitants of Manitoba. Other aboriginal nations, including the Cree and Sioux came from the east following herds of caribou and bison on their seasonal migrations. Unique to Canada, the northern parts of Manitoba were settled before the south. Europeans searching for the fabled 'Northwest Passage' first reached Manitoba through Hudson Bay in 1612. In 1690 -1691 Henry Kelsey, a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) clerk explored Northern Manitoba from Hudson Bay to near the Pas on the Saskatchewan River. Later, in 1733 La Vérendrye led a party from New France that explored the Red and Winnipeg rivers and built several outposts in the area that is now Winnipeg. In 1731-1771 the HBC built Fort Prince of Wales at the mouth of the Churchill River. The French captured the Fort in 1782. In 1783 the HBC constructed Fort Churchill at the mouth of the Churchill River, it remained in continuous use until 1933. Throughout the seventeen and eighteenth century French Canadian voyageurs in birch bark canoes and couriers du bois "runners of the woods" continually traveled the rivers and forests west from New France in search of new sources of furs. Their trade and social connections with the aboriginal peoples led to the founding of a new Canadian nation, the Métis (peoples of mixed Aboriginal and European blood). The Métis, often connected with the North West Fur Company in its competition with the Hudson's Bay Company, established trading posts and small settlements across the west, contrary to the wishes of the HBC. One of their chief trading and wintering areas was at the heart of the Red River country where the Red and Assiniboine rivers meet. Here they established a headquarters and small riverfront farms.

MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL HALL OF FAME The History of Agriculture in Manitoba Prepared by Morris Deveson February 28, 1995 Agriculture settlement and farming in Manitoba is really not very old, and is young by world standards. Historians like Grant MacEwan, W.L. Morton, J.H. Ellis and others have documented and recorded development over the years. Two aspects of our agricultural development make history particularly interesting, first the rapid progress in technology and secondly the people who made it all happen. The first recorded Agricultural immigrants in Manitoba were the Selkirk Settlers, also known as the Red River Settlers, who arrived in 1812 and settled near the junction of the Red and Assinboine Rivers, sometimes referred to as the District of Assinboia. These first agricultural settlers arrived by boat via Hudson Bay with little more than the clothes on their backs. They were forced to live off the land, with some help from the fur traders and natives, who really did not make them very welcome. This was fur country. It is hard to believe, in 1995, that Lord Selkirk, who Grant MacEwan called the founder of agriculture in Western Canada, was repeatedly told by both foes and friends alike that his scheme to farm in Western Canada was an adventure in folly, assured only to failure. Fur traders said, "this is fur country. What stupidity to expect settlers to succeed in this land of ice and snow. The country is doomed to external sterility." This was 1812, only 183 years ago.

Scotsmen took over much of the French fur trade, organized the North West Company , and challenged the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company. A crisis came when the earl of Selkirk established the Red River Settlement at present-day Assiniboine in North West Company territory. The resulting violence deterred colonization until the merger of the two companies in 1821. From then until 1870, when the Hudson's Bay Company sold its vast domain to the newly created confederation of Canada, that company was in sole control, and settlement of the area increased. Riel Agricultural settlement in Manitoba proceeded slowly, but when the railroads came (1870 and 1881), they provided access to grain markets on the Great Lakes, and during the 1880s the population doubled. Manitoba's area was enlarged in 1881, and in 1912 it was given its present extension to Hudson Bay. The depression of 1913 and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 ended this period of prosperity, during which Winnipeg had served as a great transportation center. With the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway to Churchill in 1929, however, the province was in a position to use the shorter sea route eastward.

FRANCAIS October 10, 2002 LARGEST HEALTH CAPITAL PROJECT IN MANITOBA HISTORY GOES TO TENDER Project to Improve Patient Care, Technology, Infrastructure at Health Sciences Centre Premier Gary Doer today announced the tendering of the redevelopment of critical services programs at Winnipeg’s Health Sciences Centre (HSC), a project that represents the largest-ever health capital project in Manitoba history. Doer said the total project, estimated to cost more than $100 million, is a significant investment in the province’s health sector and will: enhance the quality of health care and help address issues such as access to state-of-the-art equipment and emergency room efficiency; provide cutting-edge equipment and facilities that are critical for the recruitment and retention of health care professionals; and add to the revitalization of the core with more than $100 million in capital improvements. "The Critical Services Redevelopment Project at the Health Sciences Centre is the largest, most comprehensive single investment ever made at a hospital in Manitoba, and is part of our ongoing plan for rebuilding health care in Manitoba," said Doer. "The new facility will include state-of the-art medical equipment and will feature several elements of hospital care that will be among the most complex in modern medicine." HSC is the largest teaching hospital in Manitoba and is the province's dedicated trauma centre. The Critical Services Redevelopment Project will address significant shortcomings in the physical plant, particularly in the emergency departments, operating rooms, intensive care units and other critical services areas.
