RM of Springfield Mayor, Tiffany Fell, is a champion of her community and knows it well. She reports, “We have just over 15,000 residents and a number of towns within our municipality; the Town of Oakbank has the largest urban population with about 4,500 people. We are considered a bedroom community of Winnipeg, the largest metro area in Manitoba. While people do stay in the RM and work, a great many commute to Winnipeg and some to the smaller city of Steinbach. We have a big agricultural base, large deposits of sand and gravel aggregates, and a very large industrial park that borders up along Winnipeg on the west side of our municipality. The park hosts car parts stores, recycling, chemical processing – a large and diverse mix of businesses, but no retail.”
