Beausejour: Gateway to Whiteshell and Nopiming Provincial Parks

Beausejour, gateway to Whiteshell cand Nopiming Provincial Parks, is a town of about 3,400 people near the intersections of Highways 44 and 12 in the eastern region of the province. The region mostly consists of grain and several livestock farms, even while it is surrounded by pristine nature. It sits at the edge of the Agassiz boreal forest, south of the gold mines of Bissett and east of Lake Winnipeg.

This gateway town has all the amenities of a small city, on a lesser scale. Amenities include a full grocery store, a couple of convenience stores, many coffee shops and restaurants, clothing and specialty stores, golf course and nearby campgrounds. During summer months, tourists travelling through to the lake country and provincial parks to the east stop by often. While summer dominates the tourist activity, Beausejour’s annual Snowmobile Races attract thousands each winter.

In 2026, Beausejour moved to annex the surrounding rural area,in the Brokenhead municipality, to provide enough space for the town to expand.

Beausejour and the surrounding municipality of Brokenhead share an economic development team. This government-sponsored undertaking encourages business development in the communities. Being within commuting distance of Winnipeg, the community also serves as a bedroom community for the city. Opportunites for agriculturally based businesses, including food processing, are a clear fit for local business growth.

Compared to other similar-sized towns in Manitoba, there are few new condominium or apartment complex developments. This lack of modern affordable housing may limit growth in the near term.

Uniquely Beausejour

It may seem to be a minor feature, but for ice cream lovers, Pennyweight–a bulk food store–offers the best soft ice cream in the province, with over 1,000 flavour combinations. Blue Haze BBQ and Airliner Drive Inn (without the airport!) easily satisfy the biggest appetites for burgers and summer food.
