Description
The Pas is situated in Central Manitoba about 500 km north of Winnipeg and 35 km from the Saskatchewan border on the banks of the Saskatchewan River
Today's population is approximately 6,600 persons. The trading area, which constitutes the Ralls Island farming community to the east, Carrot Valley farming community to the West, the Clearwater Lake and Rocky Lake communities to the north and surrounding First Nations Reservations, totals approximately 15,000 within a thirty mile radius. Population growth has been negligible over the past several years, but not in a negative situation as is evident in some other locations in Manitoba. (Source: Canada Employment Centre).
The Pas has an economic and cultural background as diverse as any in the province. While we do have several major employers such as Tolko (Pulp & Paper Mill), Keewatin Community College, Manitoba Provincial Offices, Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) and Hudson Bay Railway, farming and fishing support hundreds as well. Our 135,000 acres provide over $10 million annually to our local farmers. Tourism is also very significant, however exact figures are unavailable.
