Dauphin is a special place.
There's lots to do, the people are friendly, and jobs are available. If you're thinking of retiring and you don't already live in Dauphin, it could be the perfect spot. In a recent article on World Atlas, Dauphin was named in the top seven best places to retire in the Canadian prairies.
Think about that for a moment. Of all the towns and cities in Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, Dauphin is on the map as one of the best places to retire. From the scenic paths of Northgate Trails and the charm of Vermillion Park to the cultural pulse of the Watson Art Centre, the excitement of Credit Union Place, and the craft flavours at Obsolete Brewing Company — there's something here to delight every kind of adventurer.
David Bosiak is the Mayor of Dauphin.
"We're a favorite spot for many retirees, with a big reason being the healthcare available, and there is some affordable housing," said Bosiak. "There are plenty of multi-family options for folks moving off the farm or selling their house and moving into an apartment or condo."
Dauphin is a place where people come together to make special things happen. The 2024 Manitoba Summer Games had more than 700 volunteers. The incredibly popular Canada's National Ukrainian Festival has hundreds of volunteers.
Farmer's Markets are a massive hit in the summer, and no one ever passes up on a pierogi sale. Dauphin is the heartbeat of Manitoba, and Bosiak is a proud resident.
"We're very culturally diverse," said Bosiak. "We have quite a significant Indigenous and Metis community, it's like a blending pot of all the different folks in our community. I think it speaks well that a lot of different people with different beliefs and backgrounds get along with one another in Dauphin."
So if you're thinking of retiring, think Dauphin.
