Ste.Rose du Lac is a progressive community of approximately one thousand people. The town is situated in Manitoba's beautiful Parkland Region. Ste. Rose du Lac is just over 300 kilometres from Winnipeg. The area has a rich French Canadian heritage. Many residents of Ste.Rose du Lac are fluent in both official languages (Manitoba Community Profiles).
In the spring of 1889, a few Métis from St Vital, seeing a need to go further a field to find the necessary haylands to be able to overwinter their animals, decided to go on an exploratory trip to the west of Lake Manitoba and possibly to Lake Dauphin some 190 miles North West of Winnipeg (Town of Ste.Rose du Lac).
The travellers from St. Vital finding the area suitable to their demands went back to St. Vital, only to return on the 19th of August 1889 to establish themselves as the first residents of what was to be known as Ste. Rose du Lac (Town of Ste.Rose du Lac).
