The Pas, MB – The Town of The Pas, RM of Kelsey, and Kelsey Planning District have partnered
with The Pas Community Development Corporation to make a significant investment with the
purchase of a key property along Highway 283, on the west entrance of town. This purchase
provides the CDC with approximately 66 acres of land for much needed new development,

including residential and commercial. This will support the vision of The Pas CDC to develop
residential and commercial sites to sustain the community.


The Pas CDC has purchased two parcels of land to amount to a total of 66 acres, located along
the corner of Hwy 283 and Stockcar Road. This land was previously privately owned, and has
been zoned as commercial, with the opportunity to zone portions as residential.


This is an exciting opportunity for the region, as we are opening up space for potential

development to improve the sustainability of the community. “We have not had access to large
scale space in our community for commercial style development with good exposure to highway

frontage. We now have such a space.” Said Mayor Herb Jacques. This exciting news follows the
clearing of land along Highway 10 on Opaskwayak Cree Nation, which has been intended for future commercial development.


The Pas Community Development Corporation is spearheading the land acquisition and will be
working towards land development and infrastructure plans in the near future. For any questions
or comments, please reach out to Jackie Rechenmacher, Economic Development Coordinator for The Pas CDC. She can be reached at ecdev@thepascdc.com or 204-627-1118
