The town and municipality of Gimli are located in the Interlake region of south-central Manitoba, Canada. Located on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg, about 75 kilometers north of the provincial capital Winnipeg, Gimli is close to the small towns of Winnipeg Beach,Fraserwood, Arnes, Hnausa, Riverton, and Arborg. This 'Icelandic Canadian' town (population 5,797 Statistics Canada 2006 census) and surrounding districts were once an Icelandic ethnic block settlement, and the area, known as New Iceland, is home to the largest concentration of people of Icelandic ancestry outside Iceland. The first town established in the settlement, Gimli has been called the "Capital of New Iceland."
