Transportation and Logistics

Dennis County is located in one of the most accessible areas of Manitoba for both interprovincial and international road transportation. The County is located on the TransCanada Highway, a highway that connects Canada east to west, and the Provincial Trunk Highway 83, a highway that leads to the Canada-USA border into the state of North Dakota (approx. 150km). 
 
Dennis County is also directly connected to both of Canada’s major rail operators, Canadian National (CN) Rail and Canadian Pacific (CP) Rail, which allows goods to travel across North America. 

 Airports
 
The County is home to two community airports: the Reston /RM of Pipestone Airport, and the Virden/R.J. (Bob) Andrew Field Regional Aerodrome. Also, in the Western Manitoba Region the Brandon Municipal Airport (approx. 82km). Dennis County is uniquely positioned between two international airports: the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (approx. 288km) and the Regina International Airport (approx. 290km).

Manitoba has been a centre for transportation and logistics across North America for over a century. With over 40,000 workers directly employed in the transportation and logistics sector, Winnipeg offers transportation, distribution, and logistics firms unique advantages.

Over 1,000 for-hire trucking companies in Manitoba, including six of Canada’s largest trucking companies. Many major U.S. and Canadian cities are less than 24 hours away by truck.
