The Central Plains is a unique region known for its exceptional quality of life and beautiful setting in the heartland of Manitoba. Central Plains has everything – a multitude of recreational opportunities, a diverse industrial, commercial and agricultural base, quality health care and excellent schools - including close proximity to outstanding post-secondary institutions. Real estate is affordable, the air is clean and communities are safe.
Our workers possess high levels of education, training and skills, and are respected by employers for their enthusiasm, creativity and loyalty.
Our strategic location at the centre of Canada makes it a key part of the Mid-Continent Trade Corridor connecting manufacturers to a central North American market of 100 million people.
Our Central Time Zone is a major advantage for service-sector businesses.
A recent KPMG study concluded that Manitoba has some of the lowest overall business costs in the North American Midwest. Office space and industrial land are inexpensive and readily available; electricity and long distance telephone rates are among the lowest in Canada; labour rates are competitive, and average employer premiums for worker's compensation are the lowest in Canada.
Our transportation infrastructure of roads, railways and airports permits the import of raw materials and the export of finished goods to be shipped quickly and cost-effectively with buyers and sellers from any destination in the world.
The state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure in Manitoba provides ready access to the Internet in virtually all areas of the Central Plains Region, and is a particularly important advantage for technology-based businesses.
The affordable cost of living, excellent recreational and cultural amenities, and very attractive quality of life in the Central Plains make it easy for companies to attract and retain good employees.
