Below are reviews of the city of Portage La Prairie, MB from an actual visitor's perspective.
Portage is a wonderful community. Friendly and welcoming. Easy access from the highway. Excellent grocery and gas options.
I grew up in the Portage area, but have been away since 1980, it was like coming home.
I would move to Portage la Prairie. Very idyllic town with all you need.
Good things to do- their aquatic centre, rock climbing for kids and adults, bowling and so on.
