Editing The Pas (section)

== Culture ==
[[Farley Mowat]]'s ''[[Lost in the Barrens]]'', published in 1956, is the first of two children/young adults novels that are set in The Pas. The story begins at a remote trapping lodge, and then moves into the Canadian "[[Tundra|barren lands]]" further north. The Pas is the main trading centre to which the book's protagonists travel to stock up on provisions and supplies to take back to their homes in the bush. The book's sequel, ''[[Curse of the Viking Grave]]'', makes mention of The Pas.

The Pas is the site of the [[Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival]], which is Manitoba's oldest festival and one of Canada's oldest winter festivals. It has been held every year since 1948 and features winter activities including ice fishing, muskrat skinning, and an annual sled dog race, which is part of the [[International Federation of Sleddog Sports]].

A 1991 [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]] movie, ''Conspiracy of Silence'', is based on the 1971 murder of [[Helen Betty Osborne]] in The Pas.
