The Pas community is one of the oldest and most striking settlements in northern Manitoba. Boasting one of the three true blue lakes in existence, outdoor adventure abounds set to the raw natural beauty that attracts visitors from around the world.
The Pas is firmly based upon a solid and diversified industrial foundation of agriculture, forestry, transportation, and tourism with one in ten people in the city employed in forestry. The company currently with the largest economic impact is Tolko Industries Ltd. and Hudson Bay Railroad. The traditional business of fishing and trapping still thrives in The Pas. The region also acts as a packing centre for much of Northern Manitoba's fish catch, with 1.4 million pounds packed per year.
