There have been talks of extending PTH 6 North to Churchill and the Nunavut border. If plans to make a highway in Nunavut connecting from Churchill, and Arviat, Nunavut to Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut go through, then the first ever major road connection to Nunavut will be made.

Route history

PTH 6 was designated in 1928 from Minnedosa to the Saskatchewan border southwest of Benito. In 1938–1939, the section east of Swan River became part of PTH 10. In 1947, the remainder was renumbered as PTH 31 and PTH 49; PTH 6 was designated to its current route.
