Business Detail
Altona (2006 population 3,709) is a predominantly Mennonite community in southern Manitoba about 100 km south-west of Winnipeg and 133 km north of Grand Forks, North Dakota.

These co-operative enterprises were a highly effective local response to the devastating impact of the Great Depression on local farmers' incomes. Jake Siemens played an important role in their development, and the growth of the co-operative movement in southern Manitoba.
