Welcome to Rivers West

Mission Statement

“To pursue sustainable economic development along the Red River Corridor through tourism and conservation.”

Vision Statement

 “To make Manitoba’s Red River Corridor a destination.”

 The vision for Rivers West centres on the concept of ‘destination’ which implies:

The following principles are particularly critical to Rivers West. These principles will help guide the day-to-day work of the organization as it seeks to achieve its goals.

  • Partnership: working with industry leaders and others to build win/win   relationships and leverage resources.
