Boissevain: Tommy the Turtle Welcomes You to Boissevain
The Heart of Canada: Connecting North, East and West
Boissevain is a town of 2,300 located south of Brandon on Hwy 10 and 443 (just north of Highway 3). Located near the Turtle Mountains (Manitoba-sized mountains, not B.C. Rocky Mountains), it is best known for its summer Turtle Derby and the talking Tommy the Turtle statue. Boissevain’s Tommy the Turtle is a feature for young and old.
While Tommy the Turtle welcomes you to Boissevain, the International Peace Gardens, normally a hot spot for tourists, is less busy and welcoming in today’s political environment. Just south of Boissevain, the Peace gardens are a jointly maintained project by Canada and the USA.
One family, a few years ago, saw the nearby hamlet of Ninga and Tommy the Turtle as somehow connected to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not true, of course, but a great prompt to draw people in!
