GEOGRAPHY / DEMOGRAPHICS

The Village of Wawanesa is located along Highway 2 in Manitoba’s Westman Region. The community is only 30 minutes from the City of Brandon and just over 2 hours from the City of Winnipeg.

Much of the land surrounding Wawanesa is rooted deeply in agriculture and crop production. The Souris River winds its way through the village, and the valley created by its banks offers a beautiful view.

Most of Wawanesa’s economy is devoted to agricultural production. The community acts as a service centre for local farmers, providing supplies and crop inputs. A small business sector provides local residents with some of the retail goods and services they require. The Village is also home to a handful of small manufacturing firms who serve the local area.
