For over fifty years the Victoria Beach Sports club has been a place of community. Where children have grown up and adults have enjoyed each other's company. The numerous activities and events hosted by the club and its many volunteers has helped to kindle a sense of belonging to the many people in the area. The drawing area of the Sports Club is much larger than the Rural Municipality of Victoria Beach. The club draws in people from Albert Beach, Hillside Beach, Traverse Bay, Belair even as far as Grand Marais and Powerview-Pine Falls.

VICTORIA BEACH AND GRAND MARAIS FAMILIES TO GET MORE ACTIVE WITH $490,000 PROVINCIAL INVESTMENT IN NEW COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTRES
Families and cottagers in the Victoria Beach and Grand Marais areas will benefit from $490,000 in provincial investments in two new community recreation facilities, Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux and Housing and Community Development MInister Kerri Irvin-Ross, announced today.
“The province is strongly committed to working with municipalities to enhance our communities, develop recreational facilities and encourage physical activity among residents of all ages,” said Lemieux. “This is reflected by our support for the Victoria Beach and Grand Marais projects and our commitment to double the level of provincial funding for community-based recreation facilities to over $60 million over four years.”
“Community clubs are extremely important to neighbourhoods and the health and well-being of families, helping us get active and stay active,” said Irvin-Ross. “Manitoba children and youth are leading through activity, and we want to be part of the effort to provide more opportunities for Manitobans of all ages.”
