Sundance, Manitoba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sundance, Manitoba was a community near the Nelson River in Northern Manitoba that was constructed in the mid-eighties to house the workers of the Limestone Dam project & their families. (Mainly Manitoba Hydro & GE.) The town was mostly trailers and portable buildings with an elementary school, grocery store, community centre & a few other small stores.

Google Maps satellite imagery shows that the town no longer exists and only empty lots and streets remain. The closest towns are Gillam, Thompson, Bird (Native Reserve), Fox Lake, Amery & Churchill, Manitoba.

This town is the unofficial "northern" terminus for Provincial Road 290.[citation needed] It continues around 5 km further to the town of Amery.

Henday Converter Station of Nelson River Bipole 2 is also there.
