Community Centres and Associations
Community centers are the backbone of many communities. They provide valuable community info, help connect you with your neighbours, strengthen family bonds and beat the winter blues. The Beaches of 59 has several community centers, each bringing their own commitment to community togetherness.
Museums provide our communities and visitors some insight to the history of the surrounding areas and Manitoba. They are place to observe and learn and are always great to visit if you’re in or around the area.
