The central Canadian province of Manitoba seems at first like an unlikely location for lighthouses. Nonetheless, Manitoba once had about a dozen lighthouses built on the navigable lakes and rivers in the southern part of the province. Six of these lighthouses remain active today, and fortunately three of the others have been preserved. Manitoba also has a salt-water coastline on Hudson's Bay, in the far north, but there were never any lighthouses on that coast. ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. Notmar numbers are from the Inland Waters volume of the List of Lights, Buoys, and Fog Signals of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
