June 2025 Economic Development Update:
In Sunrise Corner, we continue to see growing opportunities to leverage our cost-competitive location and warm quality of life, Manitoba’s carbon-neutral electricity, and the increasing flexibility in corporate work arrangements to attract new residents.
Why is Sunrise Corner an incredible place to start or grow a small business or relocate here as a remote worker?
Strong Entrepreneurial Culture. The rate of entrepreneurship in Sunrise Corner is more than double the provincial rate. This region provides ample opportunity for entrepreneurs with a supportive business climate and diverse range of industries. We foster a warm and prosperous business environment and understand the importance of working together to achieve our business objectives.
Fibre Optic Network. Building on a $588 million dollar investment with the Canada Infrastructure Bank and DIF Capital Partners, Valley Fiber has been actively installing over 5,000 kilometres of mainline fibre-optic cabling all across communities in southern Manitoba. With fibre-optic availability starting in Sunrise Corner in 2024, there are new opportunities for local entrepreneurs to offer their products and services to a much wider market via online sales and for employees of city-based companies to seamlessly work remotely.
Remote Workplaces. There has been a cultural shift in many industries to remote or hybrid workplaces allowing employees to work from home partially or full time. Improved digital infrastructure is providing new opportunities for rural-based consultants and service providers as well as giving creative makers the ability to sell their products worldwide. Combined with Sunrise Corner’s affordable housing options, supportive business climate, and recreational and cultural opportunities, the region is the perfect fit for those looking to enjoy an incredible rural lifestyle while still being able to fully contribute to their current or new roles with local or global companies.
