Explore Canada Series: Part 26 - Manitoba
Manitoba – Part 26: September 1, 2026
Some places surprise you. Manitoba is one of them.
It’s wide-open skies, long stretches of road, quiet lakes and the kind of calm that makes a weekend actually feel like a weekend. And for us, it’s also where this story begins.
Both Northern Sun & Explore Magazine have roots in Winnipeg, built around a shared appreciation for Canadian adventure and getting people outside.
That’s really what our Explore Canada series has been about all summer. Not checking destinations off a list, but encouraging you to get outside, discover somewhere new and appreciate just how much there is to explore close to home.
It’s a mission we share with Explore Magazine — and this year, we’re bringing it together in a new way.
The Northern Sun × Explore 45th Anniversary Collection
Created to celebrate 45 years of Canadian adventure, the limited-edition collection features 3 Northern Sun layers in exclusive Explore colours:
- Packable Down Jacket
- Chinook Sherpa Fleece
- Chinook Shell
Made for camping trips, new trails, unpredictable weather and whatever adventure comes next.

One More Stop: Manitoba
If you find yourself exploring the province that we both hold close in our hearts, add these to the list:
- Spruce Woods Provincial Park - Sand dunes, prairie grass and a landscape you probably wouldn’t expect to find in Manitoba.
- Riding Mountain National Park - Forest, lakes and wildlife — a proper escape from the prairies.
- Clear Lake - An easy place to spend the day and stay much longer than planned.
- And any small town along the way - Fill the tank, pack a cooler and leave a little room for the unplanned stops.
📍 Churchill, MB
Happy exploring & thank you for following along.
