Portage la
Prairie, Manitoba
 Producing
this particular profile will be a pleasant and
enjoyable task, since I spent some memorable times
in the Portage la Prairie area, while stationed at
Royal Canadian Air Force Base Macdonald, a few
miles from the city. I will never forget the
glorious summers at the lake and the electrical
storms which filled the entire sky on short notice.
The
Southport airbase, even closer to Portage, is still
thriving with a variety of new commercial services.
I get an update on Southport every few years when
we participate in the North American Aerospace
Show. Since our magazine just started profiling the
many communities, attractions and historical
locations along the Yellowhead Trans Canada Highway
this summer, prior to our fall trip, it may take a
few weeks to complete this page. However, you can
expect the entire section to expand in size
quickly.
