The community
of Lundar is a regional service centre supporting the agricultural,
fishing, recreation and tourism industries. In addition to offering
excellent opportunities for fishing and hunting, the area is well
known internationally for its wildlife management areas including
marsh bird nesting and refuge areas.
There are
many organizations and facilities in the R. M. of Coldwell that
residents may patronize to stay busy all seasons of the year.
With a focus on sports, the organizations and activities offer
something for children, young people, and adults.
During the
winter months there are various sports to partake in, such as
hockey, curling, figure skating, ringette, snowmobiling, ice-fishing
and cross country skiing. Different levels of most team sports
exist to accommodate the wide range of ages that play them. Lundar
has an indoor skating rink and a curling rink, both with artificial
ice.
Summer sports
include baseball, water sports and swimming. In addition to the
various team sports, Lundar has a golf course which offers 18
holes of golf with grass greens, watered fairways and a licensed
clubhouse. There is also a Junior Olympic outdoor swimming pool
which offers lessons and public swimming.
Lundar has
a community hall and a Royal Canadian Legion hall that cater to
a wide variety of events and community groups. Wedding socials,
bingos, dances, and Christmas concerts are some of the things
that go on throughout the year.
Secluded campsites, boat launching, and spectacular beaches can
be found at Lundar Provincial Recreation Park located west of
Lundar. Interpretive Walking Paths of the Interlake Marsh are
now open.
During the
month of June the annual Lundar Agricultural Fair is held, at
which time the local 4-H Clubs hold their achievement and cattle
auction. There is also a horse show, live entertainment, craft
displays, a mid-way and the Miss Interlake Pageant.
One can also visit or participate in the Farmers Market which
is held every Friday during the summer. Fresh vegetables, baking,
and produce, as well as crafts, can be purchased. For the sportsmen,
Lundar hosts the "All Canadian Goose Shoot" in October
which attracts hunters from all over Western Canada and the United
States.
