Cooks Creek, Manitoba

Cooks Creek is a community in the Rural Municipality of Springfield. A post office was established there in 1873 on 13-12-5E and later moved.

The community is home to the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church which is an intricately designed structure featuring nine cupolas and built almost entirely with volunteer labour. The church was built in 1923.

There is also another church, called St. Michael's and Sacred Heart in town which is in the same property as the Cooks Creek Heritage Museum.
