St. Malo, located 45 minutes south of Winnipeg, is a favourite vacation destination. In the summer, cottagers and campers flock to the area to enjoy its many outdoor activities and the beaches of St. Malo Provincial Park. It also offers a wealth of winter activities, including ice-fishing, snowmobiling and car ice racing on the lake. St. Malo Provincial Park is one of Manitoba’s most popular parks!
This bustling community was established in 1892 by Louis Malo, a pioneer farmer from the area. St. Malo hosts a summer and winter festival as well as an annual outdoor pilgrimage at its famous grotto and shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes (Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes). You can also visit a replica of St. Malo’s first church, Maison-Chapelle.
The community of St. Malo awaits you – all year round!
A visit to Manitoba means travelling through Treaty 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 territory and communities signatory to Treaties 6 and 10, the original lands of the Anishinaabeg, Anish-Ininiwak, Dakota, Dené, Iiniwak, and Nehethowuk and the homeland of the Métis Nation. Its ongoing existence is thanks to these ancestors and their present day relatives who continue to love and care for the land.
