Minnedosa is a town in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The name means "flowing water" in Sioux. The first white settler in the area was John Tanner, when he arrived in 1869. Tanner ran a ferry service across the Little Saskatchewan River. Eventually, with the arrival of the railway, the ferry became obsolete, but a small town was started nearby. A dam was built nearby between 1910 and 1912, and this created Minnedosa Lake. The current mayor (as of June, 2005) is Duane Lacoste. Minnedosa was the first site in the Province of Manitoba to generate its own hydro electric power by damning the Little Saskatchewan River. Minnedosa is also the site of an annual event, called the Little River Rockfest.
