Manitoba’s farms enjoyed
electrical service, making
Manitoba the most thoroughly
electrified province in
Western Canada.
   This Community Memories
exhibit, "Powering Up Rural
Manitoba" celebrates the
monumental change brought by
the farm electrification

program and the many people
who made the achievement
possible.
