Clanwilliam, Manitoba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rural Municipality of Clanwilliam is primarily a mixed farming area positioned on the south side of Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, Canada. The southern part of the municipality is flatter farmland and the northern part is more rugged with lots of hills, forests and lakes. The communities of Hilltop and Scandinavia were formed by Swedish settlers in the late 1800s. The town of Erickson reflects that heritage in its name and is the largest community in the municipality. The area is a major nesting area for various species of ducks and, because of its location, is a major flyway for geese.
