Portage la Prairie sits on the Assiniboine River, and its name comes from the act of carrying a canoe on land between waterways. The 13,000 residents are diligent and hard-working. The city’s economy is built on agriculture, trucking, and food processing facilities, like the potato plants that provide French fries for Wendy’s and McDonald’s. One unexpected sight in this quaint city is the world’s largest Coke can, which was made out of a former water tower. The Fort la Reine Museum celebrates the heritage of the region and gives a glimpse of settler history which dates back to the 18th century. Another way to learn about culture is to play an instrument. At Academy of Music, we offer Portage la Prairie music lessons.
