Duck Bay is small. It's a Métis community about a hundred and fifty kilometres north of Dauphin.

It's a basic small town of eight hundred people; there's a school, which is run by Frontier School Division, and a community council run by Northern Affairs.

Getting into the economic part of it, there are hardly any jobs around. The only jobs are with the council or with the school and if they don't have available positions then that's it.

There's fishing and hunting and trapping, which can be good money, but it's not always reliable. Finding good, reliable employment is a big issue for a lot of residents there.
