Rodeo
In recent years, Minnedosa has seen the
return of a local rodeo. After many years absence, the Minnedosa Rodeo was resurrected in 2004 by a group of community residents who felt there was a rodeo gap which needed fi lling. Boy were they right! Th e rodeo has continued to grow in popularity and in 2009, the Minnedosa Rodeo was named Rodeo of the Year by the Heartland Rodeo Association.
Th e Minnedosa Rodeo is held during the August long weekend and features a number of familiar rodeo events such as bareback, bull riding, calf roping, saddle bronc, barrel racing, team roping, and goat tying! For the children there is the always popular Muttin’ Bustin’ and other children’s activities and attractions including
live music and a Rodeo Dance. Th e local rodeo committee has also hosted a number of Manitoba High School Rodeo events during its Heartland Rodeo weekend. Many of the rodeo competitors making an appearance at the Minnedosa Rodeo are from the local area, including a few hometown rodeo stars.
Polish up your boots, put on a pair of jeans, grab your hat and head on down to the Minnedosa Rodeo for an unforgettable down home country experience.
Fun Fest
Since 1963, Minnedosa has hosted an
unforgettable summer celebration! Over the years there have been a number of name changes for this festival but no matter what you call the current Fun Fest, there is something special for the whole family. Th e festivities kick off with Kiddies Day targeted toward the children. Th ere are numerous games and activities planned as well as a Kiddies Parade. During the parade, many children like to dress up in costumes and decorate their bicycles or wagons to show off to the parade spectators. Th e big Fun Fest Parade is held Saturday morning and features fl oats, marching bands, animals, vintage cars and tractors, and pretty much everything else a parade should have. Other popular Fun Fest attractions include pancake
breakfasts, lunches, suppers, raffl es, social gatherings, dances, bingo, a soap box derby. A downtown Farmer’s Market and Music Jam were introduced last year and proved to be a success which will continue in 2011. Fun Fest wraps up on Sunday with Heritage Day, a celebration of the past, which is hosted at the local Museum and Heritage Village. If you happen to be in the area during the second weekend in July, be sure to take in some Fun Fest activities. It’s a summer celebration with something for the whole family to enjoy.

Heritage Village
Step back in time at the Heritage Village.
If you are interested in seeing how people lived and how things were done back in the “good old days” be sure to take a tour of the Minnedosa Museum and Heritage Village. Open during the months of July and August, as well as other times of the year by appointment, the Heritage Village features ten beautifully restored buildings, each full of artifacts from days gone by. During your tour of the village you will visit a blacksmith shop, one-room school house, country church, trapper’s cabin, period home, log barn and more. Th e most unique building on the village grounds is the two-storey octagon display building, which was moved onsite from the Minnedosa Fairgrounds and restored back to its former glory. It is one of only three such buildings still standing in the province and is the only one which features its original
upper cupola. Other village attractions include a working windmill, wooden waterwheel and trout pond. On July 10th the Heritage Village will come alive with a pioneer church service, tours of the buildings, BBQ, music and dancing during the museum’s annual Heritage Day celebration. Saturday afternoons from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. be sure to visit the Heritage Village Farmer’s Market. Th ese weekly markets begin July 2nd and will wrap up on August 22nd. To get to the Museum and Heritage Village turn east off Main Street at 3rd Avenue N.E. and travel four blocks. A welcome sign and stone gate will welcome you.
Winter Fun
Minnedosa is a fabulous tourist
destination during the hot summer months, but there is also a lot of activity and special attractions for all ages during the chilly winter months. Skiing is a huge attraction and Minnedosa is fortunate to be home to a local downhill skiing venue, Ski Valley. Located 7 km northwest of the Town of Minnedosa, Ski Valley off ers nine runs for various levels of expertise, from beginners to advanced. Snowmobiling is also a huge part of winter recreation in the area. Minnedosa is home to the Valley Snow Hawks Snowmobile Club, which promotes snowmobile fun, safety and tourism. Th roughout the winter season, the club hosts a number of snowmobile related events and gives back to the community by way of fi nancial contributions. Minnedosa is connected to a groomed trail route in the area and there is a designated snowmobile route within Town limits for snowmobile enthusiasts to use to get in and out of the community and fi ll up with gas without great disturbance to
residents. For the past few winters, Healthy Active Minnedosa has established an outdoor skating oval in the community. Th is attraction is available for use by residents at no charge and has become another popular winter attraction for Minnedosa. Th e frozen surface of Minnedosa Lake is the perfect foundation of ice fi shing huts and each winter, a small community of “shacks” develops on the lake. Minnedosa, like most Canadian communities is no stranger to hockey or curling activity. Th roughout the winter, the local Arena and Curling Club are both hopping with activity as our local hockey players and curlers compete in various games, tournaments and bonspiels. If you happen to be visiting Minnedosa during the winter months, do not despair. Our community is a year-round destination.

Welcome!Enjoy Your

Introducing the Minnedosa Regional
Events Centre
In February 2009, a planning and development committee was established for an exciting new project
for Minnedosa – a brand new arena. Known as the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre, the new arena will be located on the current fairgrounds in the northwest corner of town. In addition to a new two-rink arena, the grounds will include a number of baseball diamonds, rugby and soccer pitches. The planning committee is also hoping to attract a hotellier to build a brand new hotel on the Events Centre grounds. Fundraising for this exciting project is underway.
A rough timeline has been set out and if all goes as planned, construction on Minnedosa’s new arena could begin in the spring of 2013 with the facility being ready for use in 2014.
We invite you to visit our diverse shops and services, enjoy our countless recreation opportunities, dine in our many restaurants and rest in our
comfortable accommodations.Agricultural; Automotive;

16AJapanese Garden
A sister community partnership
between Minnedosa and Ishii, Japan began in the mid 1990s. The purpose behind the twinning project was to promote friendship and to facilitate the mutual understanding of our respective cultures. The partnership has been recognized in our community with the establishment of a Japanese garden which is located behind the Minnedosa Regional Library. The garden serves as a place for all Minnedosans and visitors to enjoy as well as serving as a memorial for Yuko Miyaura, one of the young Ishii delegates, who visited Minnedosa before her untimely passing. Establishing an authentic Japanese garden in Canada took a great deal of research and planning due to drastic climate differences between the two countries. Several non-plant
features can be found in the Minnedosa Japanese Garden to make it appear more authentic. These include a basin made of rock which is known as Chozubacki, a Shishi Odoshi, which is made of bamboo and a rain chain called Kusari doi. A static (non changing) Zen Garden has also been incorporated with the Minnedosa Japanese Garden. The Zen Garden is surrounded by a bamboo fence. When in Minnedosa, be sure to drop by the library and visit the Japanese Garden and take in the solitude and relaxing atmosphere it offers visitors. You’ll come away feeling refreshed and energized.

Fishing
The lakes and rivers in and around Minnedosa
are abundant with many types of fi sh and challenges for all skill levels of anglers. Some common species found in the area include Northern Pike (Jack), Walleye (Pickerel), Perch and Rock Bass. A great spot to introduce young anglers to the sport of fi shing is at the trout pond located at the Heritage Village. This pond operates on a catch and release basis early in the season. Later in the season, anglers are welcome to keep what they catch. More information on these regulations is posted near the pond. Another great spot for trout fi shing is at Anton’s Lake, which is located north of the rest stop at the intersection of highways 10 and 16 north west of Minnedosa. This
lake is stocked with brown and rainbow trout. The limit is two fi sh each and all are welcome, as long as they hold a current Manitoba fi shing license. Although no motor boats are allowed on Anton’s Lake, electric motors are. Some good fi shing spots are just above the spillway along the shores of Minnedosa Lake and below the dam and all along the shores of the Little Saskatchewan River which meanders through the community. During the winter months, many locals enjoy ice fi shing on Minnedosa Lake.
Rockin’ the Fields
August Long weekend has rocked in
Minnedosa since 1996 when a classic rock music festival was born. Today, that festival is known as Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa and has grown from a three-day to four-day music extravaganza.
Rockin’ the Fields features a number of big name musical entertainers but is also much more than just music. A number of unique venders can be found onsite and special attractions such as a beach volleyball tournament add to the weekend’s excitement. Onsite camping is available. Campers always get in the spirit of the festival and many choose to decorate their campsites in some very creative and unique ways. A stroll through the camping grounds is always a worthwhile activity as you just never know what creativity you may fi nd. The
festival is currently driven by a dedicated and hard working crew of fans who work hand in hand with locals to benefi t the entire community. A number of local service clubs help out with the festival in exchange for a percentage of the festival’s proceeds. Since this partnership began, over $126,000 has been donated back to the community.
Plan to spend your August long weekend with us and help us Rock the Fields of Minnedosa! The festival site is located on the top of the hill, north of the Minnedosa campground along Provincial Road #262. The site sits along the eastern shores of the north end of Minnedosa Lake.
Recreation and Sports
Minnedosa is an active community year
round, especially when it comes to physical and recreational activities. There are walking, jogging, and running trails to explore and enjoy. If you brought your bicycle with you, feel free to cycle around the community. In the warm summer months you can enjoy a variety of sports such as golf, baseball, soccer, rugby, football, tennis, basketball, volleyball, badminton, and more. Minnedosa Lake is the perfect spot for swimming, boating, fi shing, water skiing, tubing, and other water related sports and activities. Many enjoy canoeing along the Little Saskatchewan River which passes right through our valley town. During the chilly winter months, the recreational activities
continue with such activities as hockey, curling, skiing, skating, snowshoeing, tobogganing and snowmobiling. Some other recreational attractions Minnedosa has to offer include a bowling alley, fi tness and exercise centres and programs, walking clubs, indoor swimming pool, golf, a karate club, weekly bingos, billiards, shuffl eboard, darts, card games, Video Lottery Terminals, playgrounds, and more. No matter what time of the year you visit Minnedosa, or what type of recreational activities you enjoy, you are sure to fi nd something to meet your needs. Get active, play safe, and have fun!

Golf and Country Club
The Minnedosa Golf and Country Club is one

Throughout the golfi ng season, the local course attracts golfers from near and far, whether it’s for a relaxing day of golf with friends or competing in one of the many tournaments hosted by the club.

What is that siren all about?
When visiting Minnedosa you will
most likely hear a wailing siren at certain times during the day. Do not be alarmed, the siren sounds three times a day at 8 a.m., 12 noon, and 6 p.m. The siren is also used in certain emergency situations. If you hear the siren wail at numerous intervals, it is alerting local fi re department volunteers of a fi re or emergency call in which their assistance is required. The Town of Minnedosa has also chosen to use the siren to alert local residents of a larger emergency situation, such as a chemical spill or explosion which could put residents to risk of danger or require the evacuation of residents. In the event of such an emergency, the siren would wail continuously alerting residents to head indoors, close windows and doors and wait for further instructions. The current siren dates to 1963 when the federal government installed sirens in many communities. These sirens were installed after the Cuban Missile Crisis and escalating Cold War to be used in case of a missile attack. The siren is located on Armitage Avenue near the town yards and local high school. Regulations required the siren to be tested regularly so the town father’s decided it should be used to signal the three meal times of the day as well as to summon the fi re department. The siren continues to be used in that fashion and has become somewhat of a Minnedosa tradition.
Walk the Trails
If you enjoy walking and nature,
Minnedosa has a number of trails available to check out. Entrances to the various trails can be found throughout the community such as near the CP engine and caboose in Tanner’s Park, just east of the Main Street Bridge. You can also enter the trails at the Heritage Village, or at the spillway south of Minnedosa Lake. There is also a newly developed walking trail near the schools, which are located west of Main Street on Armitage Avenue. As you wander along the many pathways available in the community, you will notice a number of special attractions. In addition to the natural attractions and scenic views, some of the trails include various informational or historic plaques, benches for resting and miniature fi tness centres where you can stretch, do some chin ups, tummy curls or more! There is also the Rotary Suspension Bridge, located southeast of the
Heritage Village and great viewing of the Bison Park from some of the trails. Along the dam, west of the spillway is the Flag Walk which features the fl ags of the country as well as some from other countries, which represent the homelands of our areas pioneers. For a walk through rustic nature, check out the Oxbow Nature Trail. This trail is located south of Minnedosa Lake, between the spillway and Heritage Village. As you make your way through the winding path, you will behold much of the natural beauty this area offers. From native grasses, wildfl owers, shrubs and trees to a variety of bird species, you are sure to spot something different each time you wander along the trail.
Lake and Spillway
A popular attraction in our valley is the
Minnedosa Spillway. Located at the southeast corner of Minnedosa Lake, the current spillway is the second such structure to stand at this location. The original collapsed on May 4th, 1948, causing a major fl ooding disaster for downtown Minnedosa. A book on this event, Hold Back the Dam, was produced by the Minnedosa District Heritage Foundation to mark the 50th anniversary of the collapse in 1998. This book is still available for purchase at a number of local businesses. History of the spillway and Minnedosa Lake dates back to 1907 when a group of local men created the Minnedosa Power Company. The plan was to construct a dam, spillway, hydro-electric generating station and lake, which would serve as a reservoir to run the power turbines and supply electric power to the booming Town of Minnedosa. Water fi rst fl owed over the logs of the Minnedosa spillway on April 10th, 1912, marking
the birth of the man made Minnedosa Lake. For the three years following the spillway collapse in 1948, the lake remained dry with only the Little Saskatchewan River meandering through its once pristine waters. A combined effort of the Town and surrounding Rural Municipalities convinced government departments that the lake and spillway must be rebuilt to serve as a major water conservation area for the entire district. Work on the current spillway began in 1950 and was completed two years later. Maintenance and repairs to the spillway and earthen dam that holds the waters of Minnedosa Lake back from the town have been ongoing with the most recent major stabilization project undertaken in 2009 and 2010.

Bison Park
Located along Highway #262 between
downtown Minnedosa and Minnedosa Lake, you will fi nd a herd of bison housed in a large, fenced compound known as the Bison Park. Decades ago, bison herds, numbering in the millions roamed the plains and crossed the Little Saskatchewan River Valley as part of their natural migration route. In March 2006, the bison returned to Minnedosa, thanks to a tourism project developed by the Minnedosa Lake Rehabilitation Committee. For the past 15 years, our local herd of bison have been a popular attraction for both local residents and visitors to our community. The bison park is designed to provide a spacious grazing ground for the herd as well as visibility for spectators from all sides. The bison remain onsite at the local compound
year-round, so it does not matter what time of year you visit Minnedosa, you can always visit the bison! If you are fortunate enough to be in the area during April or May, there is a great chance you will see newborn calves roaming close to their mothers. Bison bulls live for an average of 20 years and weigh in at an average of 900 kg or 2,000 lbs. The female bison (cows) have an average lifespan of 17 years and usually weigh in the neighbourhood of 545 kg or 1,200 lbs. Bison calves are born between April and May and weigh an average of 27 kg or 60 lbs.
Spanningin excess of 600 feet,
Minnedosa’s fish ladder is the longest in Manitoba.The purpose of the fish ladder is to allow various species of fish to travel from the bottom of the Little Saskatchewan River, up into Minnedosa Lake and then further up the chain of lakes. Target fish species that will utilize the run include mature walleye, northern pike and white sucker.
Minnedosa’s fish ladder emulates a natural type of channel system. It consists of a series of pools and rock riffles. Each pool is approximately nine inches apart in elevation which gives the fish a chance to rest before continuing their climb up the fast moving water as it moves down the riffles. In total, there are 22 pool and
riffle structures along the fish ladder, before the fish travel through a 55 foot culvert and make one last burst through the exit of the structure into Minnedosa Lake. Although man made, the fish ladder has a natural appearance, as if it was meant to be in its current location.
Excellent viewing areas can be found along the entire length of the fish ladder which is located just south of Minnedosa Lake, next to the spillway. The best time to view the action of the fish ladder is in early spring during peak spawning season.

Lions Tower
Located on the eastern edge of the Town
of Minnedosa, you can access the Lions Lookout Tower by ascending the gravel road towards the Minnedosa Cemetery. The tower provides a spectacular view of Minnedosa Lake, beach and campground areas as well as the Bison Park and other attractions. Located at the top of the Lookout Tower is a plaque and a sighting post that details the location and the historical importance of Odanah Pass. Also, quite a nice view is provided of the Heritage Village and Museum grounds located below the tower just beyond the Bison Compound and the Rotary Suspension Bridge.
Located in that same area are the trout pond, heritage walking trails and the Oxbow Nature Trail that leads from the Heritage Village to the spillway and fi sh ladder area. Take your time and take a short walk through the area. There are over 20 historical plaques to be viewed along the various trails detailing the history of our town and area. During the autumn months, the views from this lofty position are nothing short of spectacular.
Historic Sighting Posts
One of the best places to learn the story
of Minnedosa is the sighting posts located on the east side of the spillway along the Beach Road. (Hwy #262). Here you will fi nd plaques depicting nine specifi c points of interest located in the immediate area. Beginning with “Old Crossing” on the Carlton Trail located in the vicinity of the farm located at the north end of Lake Minnedosa and the North West Fur Trading Post which was located at a spot which is now covered by the lake to the once feared “Norquay Rapids”, since tamed with the construction of the dam and spillway. The sighting posts also point the way to “Tanner’s Crossing” and the building of the railroad in 1883. Since the 1850s Minnedosa has been a very busy community. The Carlton Trail split into three separate trails
east of Minnedosa and there were three distinct river crossings within a few miles of the town. These crossings were: “Old Crossing”, mentioned above, and “Tanner’s Crossing”, located just down the road about half a mile and “Hare’s Crossing”, which was located about fi ve miles westward where the valley turns south towards Rapid City. All three crossings operated at the same time with “Old Crossing” eventually being replaced by the other two. All traffi c ceased along the Carlton Trail and the crossings with the coming of the Manitoba and Northwestern Railway in 1883, the year Minnedosa was incorporated as a town.
Founders Parks
As you make your way along the downtown
business district you will notice a number of small parks located on various street corners. These are known as Founder’s Parks. Each one features a plaque honouring the person it is dedicated to. Take time to stop and read these plaques and learn about the importance of these citizens and the contributions they made to our community. At the north end of town, you will fi nd Founder’s Parks located at three of the four corners of Main Street and 2nd Ave. There is also a Founder’s Park located at the corner of Main Street and 3rd Avenue. You can’t miss this one as it features a historic piece of machinery which directs visitors toward the Heritage Village. South of the Main Street bridge, you can find
Founder’s Parks at the corners of Main Street and 2nd Ave, directly across from the Minnedosa Civic Centre, with its landmark clock tower. Further south on Main Street, there is a Founder’s Park dedicated to former Minnedosa and Manitoba Premier, Walter Weir. This one is located at the corner of Main and 3rd Ave. The Founder’s Parks were part of a downtown beautifi cation project undertaken by the Minnedosa Chamber of Commerce Business Improvement committee.

Every Friday afternoon from June 24th to September 23rd, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., local vendors will gather to showcase and sell their goods. This year, the Minnedosa and District Farmer’s Market is moving to a new location next to the Dari-Isle Drive In at the corner of Main Street and 6th Avenue N.E. be sure to visit the market for a wide variety of delicious, fresh and unique treats. During Fun Fest, an additional market is held downtown following the Saturday morning parade on July 9th. This market is held in the area behind the cenotaph and Sherman tank just south of the Main Street bridge.
Lastsummer, the Heritage Village and Minnedosa Tourism partnered to host a series of old fashioned outdoor markets at the Heritage Village located at the east end of 2nd Avenue N.E. Due to the success of last year’s pilot project, the markets will return in 2011. These markets will be held every Saturday from July 2nd to August 22nd from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Visit one of the many farmer’s markets being hosted in Minnedosa this summer.
Skate the Lake
For one weekend in February, the frozen surface
of Minnedosa Lake becomes home to an annual pond hockey tournament. This event was organized not only as a great opportunity for playing some outdoor hockey, but also as a community fundraiser. Since it’s inception in 2007, Skate the Lake has donated over $16,800 back to the community. Funding recipients have included the local Community Daycare and the Minnedosa Regional Events Centre project. This project will include the development of a new arena, fi tness centre and outdoor sports fi elds at the current fairgrounds along the north hills of town.Skate the Lake is operated with a number of special rules to ensure safe and fair game play for all. Customized nets are used in place of goalies. Multiple thirty minute games are played on
the various rinks cleared on Lake Minnedosa. The fi ve-player teams are encouraged to be creative and come up with their own team name and jerseys. The teams have certainly taken that challenge with a number of unique team names such as the Bad Mother Puckers, and Burgess Quality Dudes (in honour of our local grocery store Burgess Quality Foods). If you happen to be in Minnedosa during that one special weekend in February, be sure to head out to the lake for some entertaining pond hockey. It’s for a good cause!
