Welcome to The Pas!

Located where the Pasquia and Saskatchewan Rivers meet in the Northern Region of Manitoba, The Pas is known as Canada's “Gateway to the North”. An employee of the Hudson's Bay Company named Henry Kelsey was the first European to arrive, sometime between the years of 1690 and 1692. Knowledgeable Cree aided successive explorers in their survival and understanding of the terrain, and a community was born as a distribution centre and trading post.

The nearby Lake Winnepegosis' glacial waters are an ethereal shade of blue, and the endless string of lakes and rivers surrounding are ideal for canoe and boat tours along the historic waterways where steamboats used to bring cargo to remote areas. Year-round fishing yields championship catches of lake trout, walleye, northern pike and yellow perch, while hunters track numerous waterfowl, bear, moose and deer. The Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival showcases uniquely northern skills such as dog sledding and moose calling, and the Opaskwayak Indian Days celebrates First Nations influence in the region. Many fine homes from the early 20th century line LaRose Avenue, the city's most notable road.
