Schools
Pembina Trails Collegiate
With a majority of households in Prairie Pointe having kids living at home, it’s a great thing there are so many schools offered in the area!
This neighbourhood is located in the Pembina Trails School Division, and the nearby schools are Prairie Sunrise (K-5), Acadia Junior High (6-8), and the newly built Pembina Trails Collegiate for grades 9-12 English.
For French Immersion, Ecole St. Avila is the early years, Ecole Viscount Alexander for middle years, and Institut Collégial Vincent Massey Collegiate for grades 9-12.
Also, soon to be under construction is Prairie Pointe School, built to accomdate the growing population and allow students to attend school in their community. It will be on Castlebrook Drive between Landover and Skyline drives. Construction is to begin early 2026 with a September 2027 opening.
Community Life
Being extremely new areas in Winnipeg, with construction still ongoing, Prairie Pointe doesn’t have its own community centres yet, however, they already offer plenty of beautiful parks and trails to keep the family busy.
Prairie Pointe and South Pointe are both included in the catchment area for the very active South Winnipeg Community Centre, which operates two thriving locations nearby— Richmond Kings Community Centre and St. Norbert Community Centre —both offering all kinds of sports and activities for the whole family.
As well, a new $90M community centre is currently proposed for Kenaston Blvd & Bison Dr [5].
