Historic Sites of Manitoba: Little Portage (Saskatchewan Avenue East, RM of Portage la Prairie)This site along Saskatchewan Avenue East in the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie was developed around 1954 as a restaurant, motel, and gas station for the newly opened Trans-Canada Highway around the city of Portage la Prairie. Named Little Portage and featuring an Indigenous man carrying a canoe in neon lights, the facility operated until around 1971. Its paved parking lot and some concrete and steel remnants were still present at a 2018 site visit.
