Online Dispensary in Winkler, MB

Winkler didn’t start as a Mennonite town at all. Lumber entrepreneur and politician Valentine Winkler founded the village in 1892 after persuading the Canadian Pacific Railway to build a spur line through his land, and the earliest residents were a mix of English, German and Jewish merchants running the new settlement’s businesses. Plautdietsch-speaking Mennonite farmers had already been settling the surrounding West Reserve since 1876, land set aside specifically for Russian Mennonite immigrants, but they only began moving into Winkler itself afterward. By the end of the First World War, that Mennonite population had grown enough to outnumber every other group in town, reshaping Winkler’s character for good.

The Jewish and German merchants who founded the village largely moved on in the early 1900s, and Winkler leaned further into its Mennonite identity through the 20th century, incorporating as a village in 1906, a town in 1954, and finally a city in 2002. Floods hit the low-lying town repeatedly, in 1916, 1917, 1933 and 1966, before drainage improvements settled things down. The Pembina Threshermen’s Museum nearby preserves several original one-room schoolhouses and a Mennonite log house from that early settlement era. Today Winkler is Manitoba’s fourth-largest city, with close to 14,000 residents just 22 kilometres north of the US border. Weed Market ships to Winkler addresses the same way it does anywhere else in Manitoba, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
