Boissevain (/ˈbɔɪzəveɪn/)[2] is an unincorporated urban community in Manitoba near the North Dakota border that held town status prior to 2015.
Boissevain is a community of just over 1,500 people and it is located between Killarney and Deloraine on the east and west and Brandon to the north.
[5] Work began along the anticipated route of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1874, surveyors were impressed with the Turtle Mountain region and noted it would become a chief point of settlement in the coming years.
One of the prominent buildings constructed was the St. Matthew's Anglican Church, built with granite walls found in the local fields.
The sandstone was used to construct another place of worship and local landmark, the St. Paul's United Church which was completed in 1893.
[8] Currently, the Boissevain Broncos high school sports program includes several teams competing in football, baseball, and hockey.
