Prairie Provinces

The Prairie Provinces refer to three central regions in Canada: Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. These provinces are characterized by expansive, flat grasslands known as prairies, which are ideal for agriculture, especially wheat and other grains. They have a strong history of farming, ranching, and natural resource industries like oil and minerals. The landscape is predominantly rural with growing urban centers, and the region plays a vital role in Canada's economy and food production. The Prairies also have diverse cultures influenced by Indigenous peoples, settlers, and immigrant communities.
