Manitoba's highway cameras, from the Perimeter to the Emerson border
At 19:07 local on 2026-11-02 the Deacon's Corner camera had a transport truck stopped at the lights, the level crossing beside it flashing red and blue, and the whole junction shining wet. That is the eastern edge of Winnipeg, where the Trans-Canada meets PTH 207. The picture is 1280x720, in colour, and the junction name and the clock are burnt into the top edge of it.
41 of Manitoba's provincial highway cameras read live on our Manitoba hub on 2026-11-04, beside 36 other live cameras in the province. Those 41 are not spread evenly: 15 sit on the Trans-Canada, five each on PTH 75 and PTH 10, four each on PTH 6 and the Perimeter's PTH 100, three on PTH 16, two on PTH 101, and one each on PTH 2, PTH 5 and PTH 68.
The five on the road to the border
PTH 75 is the road from Winnipeg to the United States, and five cameras cover it. Emerson Hwy 75 sits at the crossing itself. At 19:07:18 on 2026-11-02 it had flipped to night mode, greyscale, a truck's lights blowing out the left third of the frame and the pavement black and wet under them.
Working north from there: Letellier covers the PTH 14 junction, Morris the north side of town, Ste. Agathe the PTH 305 junction, and Hwy 75 south of Hwy 100 the last few kilometres before the Perimeter. Those first four are the same sites the province named when it added 25 cameras in November 2017 and took the network to 33.
Ste. Agathe is the one to open at dusk. At 19:10:46 the northbound lanes were a string of headlights crossing a wet apron of asphalt, the frame tinted purple on one side and sodium yellow on the other, with the junction signs still legible at the right. Manitoba 511 grades every road segment it maps, and two of the six grades it uses are Closed and Reduced Visibility (manitoba511.ca). In January, when one of those two turns up on PTH 75, these five cameras are the picture behind the colour.
What a minute actually buys
Between 01:12 and 01:17 UTC on 2026-11-03 I pulled Emerson, Morris, Ste. Agathe and Deacon's Corner once a minute, five samples each, and every one of the twenty pictures differed from the one before it. On those four, a minute is real. It shows you the road surface changing and traffic as a set of stills, and it does not show you a queue forming.
The clock in the corner is the part worth knowing about, because it lets you tell a live frame from a stuck one without trusting anybody's uptime badge, this site's included. Morris is the exception, and a useful one: its 19:05:09 frame on 2026-11-02 was stamped the year 2000. The camera's clock is wrong, the picture is current, and the date burnt into it is the single thing on that frame you cannot use.
Resolution splits the network in two. Emerson, Ste. Agathe, Deacon's Corner, Hadashville and Minnedosa all came back 1280x720. Morris, West Hawk, Souris River Valley and Arden came back 640x480. All nine measured on 2026-11-03.
The ring road, and then north
The Perimeter's six are the cameras to check before a drive out of Winnipeg. PTH 100 east of PTH 75 looks west down the divided carriageway at the junction, and at 19:21 on 2026-11-02 it had a concrete median barrier down the middle of the shot, headlights streaking on the far side and the near lanes empty and wet. Hwy 101 north of Portage Avenue covers the northwest corner.
West along the Trans-Canada the cameras come at Deacon's Corner, Hadashville and West Hawk towards the Ontario boundary, then east of Brandon and Kirkella near the Saskatchewan line. PTH 10 runs north through the Parkland with Minnedosa, Souris River Valley and Bowsman on it. The Yellowhead has Arden and Shoal Lake. The Riding Mountain National Park camera at Moon Lake, also on PTH 10, is on 511's list but was not live here today; it was serving a rain-flecked frame of the park road at 17:41 when I pulled it.
North of Hwy 6 at Hwy 39 at Ponton, 54.67 degrees north, the highway cameras run out. What carries on past it is aviation: 27 aerodrome cameras in the province on our hub today, at Lynn Lake, The Pas, Flin Flon, Island Lake, Norway House, Berens River, Churchill, Dauphin and Swan River, each pointed at a compass direction off the apron rather than at a road.
We pull every one of these once a day and keep the last eight checks on each camera page, so the uptime line under a frame is our measurement rather than the province's claim.
The ones I have not sampled are the Perimeter, the west end of the Trans-Canada and Hwy 6 at Hwy 101. That is the next thing, a week of one-minute pulls across all 41, to find out which of them move every minute and which are slower than that.
