The Lansdowne economy is based on
agriculture. The municipality is comprised of eight townships,
each 36 miles square. Land quality is mixed, with better soils
generally west of the Arden Ridge. The municipality has approximately
200 commercial farms that, generally, produce grains, oilseeds, pulses,
cattle and pigs.
Arden, the only village in the RM of Lansdowne, has a population of
approximately 150 people living in 75 to 80
households.
t currently has a general store, post office and municipal office. A
few residents are self-employed; others work in nearby communities;
many are retired.
Arden offers potential for small businesses to establish and enjoy the
benefits of self-employment in trades and professions. The lifestyle of
a small rural Manitoba community gives small business the chance to
succeed that is not available in larger urban centres. Costs are low
for doing business and living here. Additional benefits include a
slower pace of life, a safer environment and a highly integrated,
stable community that ensures a chance to prosper and enjoy life.
Arden is centrally located in southern Manitoba. It is 5 km (3 miles)
north of Canada's national highway system on a newly paved, all-weather
highway. The Trans-Canada Yellowhead Route (Highway #16) cuts east-west
through the RM of Lansdowne and provides convenient access to markets
across Canada.
Arden is approximately 15-minutes’ drive from two local service
centres on the Yellowhead Highway, Neepawa and Gladstone. Neepawa,
population 4,000, has a bustling, full-service economy with many small
and medium-sized businesses. Gladstone, population approx. 1,000, has
basic services and commercial activities suited to the area
