Location of Zhoda in Manitoba

Zhoda—which means 'agreement' in Ukrainian—was first settled mostly by Ukrainian farmers around 1909. Since then, many families have left farming and moved away, and the current residents come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. The area hosts a few businesses, including an auto shop, a well drilling business, a scrap recycling yard, a racehorse stable, several ranches, hobby farms and hog barns.
