COMMUNITY PROFILE

This picturesque area is surrounded by beauty and wonder, from the hydro dams to the rich forest to
the sandy beaches, there is something for every enthusiast. Located just 132 km northeast of
Winnipeg, MB it is a quick retreat from city life. A multitude of beaches and quiet living are available in
the surrounding areas. You can acquire all of the supplies you may need from grocery outlets for cabin
living or stay overnight in one of the various lodgings. Fishing, hunting and snowmobiling are just a
few of the things that draw the tourists to this community.

Powerview and Pine Falls were sister towns located on Highway 11 off the banks of the banks of the
Winnipeg River. The community of Pine Falls evolved in 1926 when John D. McArthur purchased the
site from Fort Alexander and with partner George Mead they formed the Manitoba Paper Company.
With the area growing, soon the community of Powerview was developed and became a separate entity
in 1951.

The Manitoba Paper Company changed ownership over the course of years and it is now known as
Tembec Industries. With the purchase of the paper mill in 1998 they announced that the town would
need to become sufficient on their own. Pine Falls decided that it would be in their best interest to join
a similar community and went into negotiations with the Village of Powerview. On May 1, 2005 the
two communities successfully joined under one governing office. The community is presently at a
population of 1,294.
