The Town of Stonewall is a great place to call home. The Town is located along Provincial Trunk Highway 67 with a population of 4,809 (as of the 2016 Census) and growing! Stonewall is just 25 kilometers north of Manitoba’s capital city, Winnipeg. Stonewall offers its residents a friendly, quiet rural alternative to life in the big city. Stonewall was founded in 1878, and was officially incorporated in 1908.
Rockwood is a rural municipality lying north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is part of the Winnipeg Capital Region and had a 2011 census population of 7,964. The independently governed towns of Stonewall and Teulon are both enclaved within Rockwood.
A councillor from both the Town and Municipality sit on our Age Friendly committee giving support and encouragement to keep our community age friendly through Senior Resource, 55 Plus Activity Centre, Community meetings, and Accessibility Plans. We have good senior independent housing and looking forward to more supportive and personal care homes.
