About the Winkler area
The area
Named for Winkler (about 13,700 people in 2021), this page mostly covers the flat Red River Valley east and southeast of the city, out to the river and the US border. The Municipality of Rhineland (about 5,800) takes in Plum Coulee, Gretna and smaller villages, and surrounds the Town of Altona (about 4,300), 96 km south of Winnipeg. Along the Red River are the RM of Montcalm (about 1,300; Letellier, St. Jean Baptiste) and Emerson-Franklin (about 2,400; Emerson, Dominion City). To the north, the RM of Morris (about 3,000; Rosenort, Lowe Farm) surrounds the Town of Morris (about 2,000).
History
Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation, a Treaty 1 signatory (1871), has its main reserve where the Roseau joins the Red, beside Letellier and Dominion City. Ottawa set aside the Mennonite West Reserve in 1875; within a decade some 6,000 settlers lived in about 70 villages, and Neubergthal still keeps the old house-barns on long, narrow lots. Mennonites reached Rosenort in 1874, French-speaking parishes grew in Montcalm in the late 1800s, and Altona formed on a CPR spur in 1895.
Services and access
Local hospitals are the Altona Community Memorial Health Centre and Morris General Hospital (with emergency care). Boundary Trails Health Centre, between Winkler and Morden, is the region's main referral hospital. PTH 75, a major trade route, links Winnipeg, Morris and the Emerson border crossing; floods can close it near Morris. Scheduled flights leave from Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. Farming leads, with oilseed processing and manufacturing in Altona and legume processing in St. Jean Baptiste.
Land and climate
Almost all soil in the Rhineland-Altona (RPGA) district is prime farmland, with little natural cover and no provincial or federal parks. With so little slope, heavy rain floods fields and spring flooding follows the Red River; tornadoes are more frequent than elsewhere in Manitoba. The Pembina Valley Water Cooperative, owned by every municipality named here, treats water at Letellier and Morris. The RPGA plan expects new rural homes to treat wastewater on site.
Before you buy
The RPGA Planning District, in Altona, issues building permits and zoning for Rhineland and Altona. Its plan steers rural homes to existing clusters (lots of 2 acres or more), old farmsteads or uncultivated yard sites on maintained municipal roads. Montcalm, Emerson-Franklin and the RM and Town of Morris issue their own permits. The province approves subdivisions. New permanent buildings in the Red River Valley Designated Flood Area (border to Floodway, as wide as the 1997 flood) need a provincial permit and protection to a 200-year flood level. Buyers who are neither citizens nor permanent residents need a Farm Industry Board exemption to hold over 40 acres of farmland.
