Easterville, Northern administrative settlement in Manitoba, Canada
Easterville is a northern administrative settlement in Manitoba located on the south shore of Cedar Lake. The community includes a fire hall, community center, skating rink, coffee shop, and department store that serve residents' daily needs.
The settlement was founded in 1962 after the Grand Rapids Dam construction forced residents from the flooded Chemawawin community to relocate. This relocation marked the beginning of the community as it exists today.
The people here maintain strong connections to Indigenous traditions through fishing and trapping activities that support the local economy. These practices shape daily life in the community today.
The location is relatively remote and best reached by car or small plane, as public transportation options are limited. Visitors should prepare for limited services in this northern region and plan ahead for essentials.
All buildings here were constructed on cement foundations without basements due to rocky terrain. This building method reflects the specific geological conditions of the location and remains visible throughout the community.
