Seasonal Information
Southern Manitoba
Winnipeg residents enjoy up to 16 hours of sunlight daily during the summer months. The peak season for sunflowers is the second week of July through to the first week of August. The wheat fields turn a golden colour in early August. The wheat fields are harvested mid-August to mid-September. Typically, the leaves begin to change colour by early September, through to mid-October. By the end of October, most of the leaves have fallen off the trees. The first snowfall can vary greatly from year-to-year. Typically, snow begins to fall in November and there is usually snow cover by December. By mid-March, the spring melt starts and snow coverage begins to fluctuate. Lakes are generally not safe to film on after mid-March and the snow is generally gone by the middle of April. The trees begin to bud and turn green between late April and mid-May, depending on the year and region.
Northern Manitoba (Churchill)
The sun’s rays are reflected off the snow and ice due to Churchill’s latitude, meaning low temperatures all year, but the proximity to Hudson Bay moderates the temperature in summer months. The majority of Churchill’s precipitation falls during the summer. Mid-June through August is Beluga whale season. October and November are prime months for viewing polar bears as ice begins to freeze. Snow begins to accumulate. Snow cover is 30-40 cm. Northern Lights are often seen in the clear Northern skies, peaking in March. Snow begins to melt and is completely gone by June. Tundra flowers begin to bud in late spring.
Manitoba has four distinct seasons.
Summers are warm and sunny, with extended daylight hours and an extremely long magic hour.
Winter days are bright and refreshing and the winter months are perfect for night shoots.
Manitoba’s southern and northern regions have distinctly different seasons.

Benefits of Manitoba Tax Credits
NO Canadian content requirements
NO copyright ownership requirements
NO co-production requirements (You are not obliged to work with a Manitoba company, but you benefit through the 10% Frequent Filming Bonus and 5% Manitoba Producer Bonus.)
NO funding caps per production or per production company (The greater your Manitoba labour expenditures, the greater your tax credit will be.)
NO caps on annual funds available (Manitoba’s tax credit is a rebate, not a finite fund, which means you’ll never have to wait for a new fiscal year to apply for your rebate.)

Manitoba offers the most competitive tax credits in Canada. These credits apply to eligible projects which include fully financed television movies, documentaries, feature films, dramatic series, variety, multimedia, animation, children’s programming, music programming and informational series, as well as digital productions.

The most competitive spend-based tax credit in Canada provides production companies with a 30% fully refundable rebate on eligible production costs including labour.
