Available & affordable land

Here in Sunrise Corner, businesses benefit from substantial upfront cost savings on land, as well as affordable utility rates and services that contribute to cost-effective operations over the long term. Sunrise Corner’s two municipalities have strategically structured their zoning bylaws to encourage appropriate development in suitable zones.

Access to high-quality product

The region has strong public support for agriculture, with potential to expand beyond traditional crops and into in-demand specialty yields. Sandilands Provincial Forest is a hub for forestry and wood product manufacturing. Peat moss harvesting and processing facilities ship product to markets around the world. An impressive quantity of biomass materials can be used as feedstock for bioenergy initiatives.

Infrastructure & access to markets

Convenient access to local, national and international markets through efficient transportation infrastructure is an important asset to businesses looking to scaleup or scale-out their operations. Sunrise Corner has direct links to Steinbach and Winnipeg to the north, the Mid-Continent Corridor to the west, and a gateway to two inland freshwater shipping corridors at Thunder Bay, ON to the east and Duluth, MN to the south.
