history
“Garden of Manitoba” is often used to describe the
region between the Souris River and the Turtle Mountains
in which Boissevain is located. Eons ago, as the Lake
Souris glacier retreated northward it left behind a sand
loam which is well suited for farming.
Human occupation of this region goes back 10,000
years. In more recent centuries, the Dakota and
Assiniboine First Nations have called this area home.
La Verendrye was the first European explorer to enter the
region. He was followed in 1806 by Alexander Henry.
Between 1872 and 1874 the Boundary Commission
marked the international boundary. They followed a trail
that had originally been a native travel route and Metis
bison hunting track. The Boundary Commissioners were
followed by a trickle of settlers coming west from Ontario
who were looking for good land, good water and wood.
In 1881 the first of several parties from Britain arrived in
the area, not waiting for the railroad which was slowly
extended to Boissevain by 1885.
boissevain.ca
The community known as Boissevain was originally
called Cherry Creek. The name was changed in 1889 in
honour of the Dutch financier Adolphe Boissevain. It was
Boissevain’s banking firm that introduced CPR shares
for sale in Europe to increase the speed of the building
of the railway. The motto on the Boissevain family crest
has now adopted by the town. It reads “No fear of the
future nor regrets of the past”.
6
The rural area around Boissevain is called Morton
Municipality. It took its name from an early settler,
George Morton. He was an energetic entrepreneur who
built a store and grain warehouse in the area, these
were only two of his many business ventures.
No fear of the future,
no regrets of the past.
welcome
Boissevain is a community alive with
vibrancy and spirit. Locals are proud of
their past and its people, and this is amply
demonstrated by the town’s “Outdoor Art
Gallery”, floral displays, arts park, museums
and celebrations.
There is an abundance of recreational
activites offered in the area. The Turtle
Mountain Provincial Park is a haven for
outdoor enthusiasts. Camping, swimming,
biking and fishing at one of the park’s
many lakes are popular recreational
choices. In winter there are snowmobile
trails, cross-country ski trails, toboggan runs
and an outdoor skating area.
On the U.S. and Canadian border, in
a symbol of friendship, lies a “One of a
Kind” International Peace Garden. Water
fountains and dazzling displays of over
150,000 flowers splash across the grounds
of the Formal Garden’s terraced walkways.
Just a few minutes to the west is
Whitewater Lake, a globally significant
Important Bird Area providing habitat for
over 110 species of birds.
For those who are visiting ... enjoy!
For those who have made the
Boissevain area your home ...
welcome!

see our beauty
Boissevain has reaped rewards through
participating in the prestigious Communities
in Bloom competition. The community has
received the honour of being named a
winner at both national and international
levels over 17 years of involvement. It
has been rewarding for Boissevain to see
community members take pride in their
yards, gardens and the town.
All sectors of the community – public,
private and industrial – have brought
changes to improve upon gardening,
landscaping, tidiness and volunteerism.
Citizens have dedicated hours of planting,
weeding and watering all in pursuit of
achieving Boissevain’s beautification goals.
This hard work has flourished because of
many green thumbs and big imaginations.
Noteworthy of special mention are the
town’s hanging baskets numbering over 250
throughout the community and two large
petunia trees.
Communities in Bloom is more than
flowers. In particular, the efforts of the
Boissevain Recycling Committee in their
work to create a better environment, has
won many points and individual awards
with Communities in Bloom.
Come and visit Boissevain, as it continues
its beautification journey. It is a trip well
worth it.
ARTS PARK
One very important piece of Boissevain’s
beautification journey has been the Arts Park. An
ordinary empty lot in the heart of the community
was transformed into an oasis of colour and
beauty. Walk along the brick pathways or take a
moment to smell the roses while sitting under the
shade of the large gazebo. The Arts Park is a true
testament to what can happen when volunteers
get together with an idea and hands ready to
work. Volunteers have maintained and improved
upon the garden as it is continually developing.

TOMMY TURTLE
Tommy Turtle, 8.5 meter (28 ft) tall, 4.5 tonne (10,000
lb) stands proud watching over Boissevain. He is the
town’s mascot, its international representative, its
biggest fan.
Forty years ago, on Thursday, July 18, 1974, Tommy was placed onto his home at the corner of
Mountain Street and #10 Highway, where he has
etched himself into Boissevain’s past, present and
future. The turtle was erected as a symbolic icon for
the community and the historic summer Canadian
Turtle Derby. In 1972, Boissevain held its first annual
Turtle Derby, and spectators enjoyed the excitement generated by the festivities surrounding the
turtle racing competitions. The growing enthusiasm
of turtle racing became a major tourism attraction
for Boissevain. However, in 2001 the community
ended the Turtle Derby, but “Tommy” still warmly
greets visitors.
This summer the community will
celebrate Tommy’s 40th birthday.
Log cabin
Historical Tour
Heritage Tree
Tour a replica of a one
room log cabin that Irvin Goodon lived in as
a youth with his family
in the 1920s. Show your
kids what life was like
without electricity, TV,
running water, and how
families made do in
small spaces. Located
next to Turtle statue.
A self-guided walking tour
features some of the distinctive heritage buildings
in Boissevain including
St. Paul’s United Church,
which was built from local
fieldstone in 1893 in the
Gothic Revival style. Booklets to guide you on the
tour are available at the
Boissevain Visitors Centre.
Located behind the Ag Office, stands a piece
of pioneer heritage. In the 1800s this site was
once the residence of William Venables, and it
is believed the tree at the back of the lot had
been planted from a willow stick, which had
served as a walking stick during a trip back to
town from his homestead. Tree measurements:
Height - 16m (52 ft tall),
Crown Spread - 23m (76 ft)
Diameter at breast height - 3m (9.5 ft)
Circumference - 7.5m (24.5 ft)

art is big in Boissevain
Come and see a visual testament
to the history of the area on the
outdoor art gallery throughout
Boissevain. The project started in
1992 with three murals and today
17 murals narrate the story of our
community’s history in living colour.
Over the years the murals are
restored to keep them fresh and
clean, but the original artist’s
theme remains. Anne Boychuk
has refurbished seven of the
murals in recent years. Self-guided
maps and guided mural tours are
available at the Boissevain Visitor
Center.

bird watching
Imagine standing under a
wide-open sky and being
surrounded by prairie
grassland, natural lakes,
pockets of forested areas
and rolling hills.
WHITEWATER LAKE – CANADIAN IMPORTANT BIRD AREA
The International Adventure
Trail is a network of fifteen
notable birding sites situated
on both sides of the US and
Canada border, in and
around the Turtle Mountain
region. The trail takes you
through North Dakota and
Southwestern Manitoba
providing beginner and avid
bird-watchers with plenty of
opportunity to experience
our beautiful and unique
prairie landscape.
Bird watchers can explore the detailed nature and wildlife of Whitewater
Lake. The lake’s shallowness and large size (6,070 hectares/15,000 acres
on average) as well as abundance and variety of vegetation combine to
make the region ideal grounds for the nesting and staging of more than
110 species of birds.
As a result of such biodiversity as well as its high concentrations of
waterfowl, shorebirds and Tundra Swans, Whitewater Lake has been
recognized as a Manitoba Wildlife Management Area, a Priority Bird
Habitat of Canadian Importance and designated an Important Bird Area.
Whitewater Lake is located 15 minutes west of Boissevain. For more

hunting & fishing
The abundance of cropland and large
bodies of water provide spectacular
waterfowl hunting opportunities in the region.
Whitewater Lake, located just 15 minutes
west of Boissevain, is a globally significant
Important Bird Area (IBA). The Lake’s
shallowness and large size (6,070 hectares
/ 15,000 acres on average) as well as
abundance and variety of vegetation
combine to make the region ideal grounds
for the nesting and staging of more than 250
species of birds. During the fall migration, it
is estimated that as many as 190,000 snow
geese, 500,000 ducks, 23,000 shorebirds, and
up to 20,000 tundra swans visit the lake.
Turtle Mountain has some great fishing spots
which have produced master angler sized
fish for many years. Stocked waters at Bower
Lake and William Lake are popular for brown
trout, rainbow trout and smallmouth bass.
Adam Lake is good for pike.
20
Turtle Mountain Provincial Park is an oasis of
rolling forested hills and small lakes fifteen
minutes south of Boissevain. This park features
miles of mountain biking trails, canoe routes,
horse riding trails, self-guided hiking and
fitness trails, a large painted turtle population,
migrating waterfowl and a substantial moose
population.
Campgrounds with beaches, playgrounds and
picnic shelters are located at Adam, Max and
William Lakes. To book camping in the park go
to www.manitobaparks.com
Turtle Mountain Provincial Park
Turtle Mountain Provincial Park
Winter does not shut down the Provincial Park
– it just changes the focus. The park is home to
miles of groomed and ungroomed snowmobile
trails, which gives the rider a unique look at
winter life in the Turtle Mountain.
Exercise enthusiasts will enjoy the groomed
cross-country ski trails that encompass Lake
Adam. Four novice trails spread out from Adam
Lake, distance range from 4 km/2.5 miles
to 15km/9.3 miles. The James Lake Cabin is
available for overnight ski trips. The cabin can
be booked by contacting the park office at
204.534.2028.
Regardless of the activity, and regardless of the season,
you can make a trip to the Turtle Mountain ‑
truly nature’s playground.

corner of Manitoba, complete with

International Peace Garden
For more than 70 years, The
International Peace Garden has
been an unique tribute to the
peace and friendship between the
people of Canada and the United
States of America. The garden
annually attracts a quarter million
visitors.
More than 150,000 flowers are
planted each summer in brilliant
and ever-changing displays.
970 hectares / 2, 399 acres of
beautiful forest surround the
garden. The park holds picturesque
picnic areas and fully modern
campgrounds, adventurous hiking
trails and winding bike paths.
Visit the Interpretive Centre and Botanical
Conservatory at the Peace Garden. The
conservatory reveals 40 years of a 6,000
specimen collection of succulents and
cacti. Africa is home to many of the over
one thousand plants displayed in the
3,000 sq. foot conservatory.
24
“To God in his Glory we two
nations dedicate this garden
and pledge ourselves that as
long as men shall live we
will not take up arms against
one another.”
Twisted girders, rescued from
the devastation of the World
Trade Center in New York, now
rest in the Garden, a symbol of
peace and democracy.
Etched in fossil embellished
Tyndall walls, the Peace Chapel
features quotes, from “People
of Peace”. Inside the chapel
lies a book of remembrance,
displaying the names of the
victims of the 9/11. A vivid
reminder of how we all must
work together for peace.
Every fifteen minutes the
lovely tones echo faintly from
the fourteen bells in the Carillon
Bell Tower. Flower potted
Peace Poles presented from
the Japanese Government are
inscribed, “May Peace Prevail”
in twenty-eight languages.
In the distance, the
majestic 120 foot Peace Tower,
symbolizing people coming from
the four corners of the world
to form two similar but distinct
nations, the United States and
Canada.
The International Peace
Garden is home to the
International Music Camp and
the Legion Athletic Camp. Near
the Wild Rose Campgrounds
is the Historic Doric Lodge, the
first main construction built in
1937 by American workers in the
Civilian Conservation Corps. The
lodge consists of spruce from
Duck Mountain northwest of
Dauphin, Manitoba and granite
from North Dakota. On the
sprawling front lawn, a gift from
the Fraternal Order of Eagles of
South and North Dakota and
Manitoba is a monolith inscribed
with the Ten Commandments.
Charlton Heston, an American
actor, playing Moses in the Ten
Commandment Hollywood
movie, attended the 1956
dedication.
