Elie /ˈiːlaɪ/ is an unincorporated community recognized as a local urban district[2] in the Rural Municipality of Cartier in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The community is located approximately 30 km (19 mi) west of Winnipeg along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Elie was chosen as one of the test beds, with the then government owned Manitoba Telephone System.

A car was also thrown 100 metres (330 ft), but the tornado caused no injuries or deaths, as the people had an early warning which provided them with enough time to look for protection.

A health care centre, a licensed daycare, a bank, a post office, a pharmacy, a grocery shop, a petrol station, an automotive service centre, agricultural equipment service centres, recreational vehicle sales and servicing, and an insurance agency are some of the businesses in this town.
