Sundance, Manitoba
Sundance was a community near the Nelson River in Northern Manitoba that was constructed in the mid-1980s to house the workers (and families) of the Limestone Dam project, who were employees of Manitoba Hydro, GE and other companies. The town was mostly trailers and portable buildings with an elementary school, grocery store, community centre & a few other small stores.
Google Maps satellite imagery shows that the town no longer exists and only empty lots and streets remain. The closest towns are Gillam, Thompson, Bird (Native Reserve), Fox Lake (Native Reserve), Amery & Churchill, Manitoba.
This town is the unofficial "northern" terminus for Provincial Road 290.[citation needed] It continues around 5 km further to the town of Amery.
Henday Converter Station of Nelson River Bipole 2 is also there.
