About Gillam, MB

Gillam is a remote hydro town reached by Provincial Road 280 north from Thompson, about 326 km away, or roughly 1,000 km from Winnipeg via Highway 6 and PR 280. Fuel up before heading north, since gas stations are sparse and EV charging is basically nonexistent this far into the bush. Local trips revolve around the Manitoba Hydro sites and Gillam Airport (YGX), just 1 km from town, which also connects to fly-in communities like Shamattawa and Ilford. Gillam was built for the Kettle Generating Station, one of Canada's largest hydro plants, making it a must-see for anyone curious about where Manitoba's power comes from.
