St. Malo is a community located in the Rural Municipality of De Salaberry, approximately 60 kilometres south of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Along with nearby Saint-Pierre-Jolys, it is a shopping and services centre for the surrounding rural area.
Saint-Malo is recognized for its tourist attractions and farming. Saint-Malo is also home to the Saint-Malo Provincial Park, and the privately owned Debonair Campground.
Amongst many others, popular activities in Saint-Malo during the winter months are snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, hockey, and also ice-fishing and car races on the lake. In February 2008, the Friends of the Park ("Les Amis du Parc") organized its first annual Festival of Friends ("Festival des Amis").
