The Rural Municipality of Hanover, Manitoba

W ith its roots firmly planted in agriculture and its sights set on a bright future, the Rural Municipality of Hanover, Manitoba is following a strategic vision for sustainable growth based on a fiscal, environmental, economic, and residential development perspective, while also focusing on the importance of maintaining the region’s local culture and history. The local government of the RM is accomplishing this through thorough planning, careful execution, partnering with other municipalities, and lobbying the provincial and federal governments to make investments in infrastructure for the future. But in case those plans don’t work out, they’re already making moves on plans B and C. That kind of forward thinking when it comes to sustainable construction, environmental awareness, and future opportunities is bringing the rural municipality into focus for businesses all over the world – making it one of Manitoba’s premiere places to set up shop. Reeve Stan Toews believes that is one of the reasons for their popularity. He notes, “We’ve had good growth for many years in a row now, I guess it’s because there’s always something happening in Hanover.” Hanover has been gaining traction over the last 20 years with immigrants, and more recently, with COVID-19, they’ve seen an influx of people moving into the RM to get away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Winnipeg.
