2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 5


<strong>Southern</strong> Saskatch<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is the heart of<br />

Canada! Planted proudly midway<br />

between the Atlantic and Pacific, it’s<br />

unique for many reasons: hard to<br />

spell, but easy to draw! Some people<br />

think it’s “flat as a platter”, yet it’s<br />

where you’ll find the highest point in<br />

Canada between the Rocky Mountains<br />

and Labrador!<br />

Although it’s one of only two provinces<br />

(Alberta is the other) with no maritime<br />

coast, <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> has more than<br />

100,000 lakes, and has produced<br />

more than its share of expert sailors!<br />

There’s no better place to experience<br />

the many different aspects of this<br />

unique region than in southern<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, the province’s ‘fun<br />

zone’.<br />

You’ll find exactly what you’re seeking<br />

-- rest, relaxation, fun or excitement –<br />

whether you’re here for an overnight<br />

visit or a full-blown vacation.<br />

If outdoor nature experiences are what<br />

you’re looking for, you’ll find lots of<br />

traditional camping/fishing/hiking<br />

opportunities, especially in our many<br />

provincial parks such as Cypress Hills<br />

Interprovincial Park, on the<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>/Alberta border or others<br />

like Moose Mountain or Katepwa Point<br />

Provincial Parks (tpcs.gov.sk.ca/parks).<br />

You’ll also marvel at Grasslands<br />

National Park, and Old Man On His<br />

Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation<br />

Area.<br />

If stargazing is your outdoor activity of<br />

choice, the Dark Sky Preserves in the<br />

Cypress Hills Inter-Provincial Park and<br />

Grasslands National Park offer some of<br />

the darkest skies in Canada. Whether<br />

on your own, at a Star Party or<br />

observatory, the night skies here are<br />

spectacular and awe inspiring.<br />

Want to see fascinating flora and<br />

fauna? The Great Sand Hills near<br />

Sceptre and the Cypress Hills offer<br />

eco-systems very different than the<br />

surrounding prairies. Travel to<br />

Grasslands National Park to explore<br />

the mixed grass prairie up close.<br />

Another attractive feature of<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is its abundant and<br />

healthy wildlife population. If you’d like<br />

to see burrowing owls, sage grouse,<br />

black-footed ferrets, elk and whitetailed<br />

deer, just to name a few, head<br />

for southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> – and don’t<br />

forget your camera!<br />

If your idea of fun involves something<br />

more active than bird or wildlife<br />

watching, perhaps golf is your thing.<br />

<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> boasts more<br />

than 80 excellent golf courses<br />

designed to please all levels of<br />

enthusiasts.<br />

Challenge your golf skills at Long Creek<br />

Golf and Country Club, set into a valley<br />

east of Avonlea, or take a swing at the<br />

9-hole course at Katepwa Beach Golf<br />

Club, and enjoy the stunning beauty of<br />

the Qu’Appelle Valley.<br />

Active outdoor experiences are<br />

everywhere in the southern part of<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>! Check out spots for<br />

biking, hiking, windsurfing, watersliding,<br />

horseback riding, and kiteboarding.<br />

Join in a game of paintball, experience<br />

a climbing wall, try out a slackline, or fly<br />

through the treetops on a zipline. These<br />

are only a few of the wide variety of<br />

activities available to provide new and<br />

exciting experiences for visitors and<br />

residents alike.<br />

And in several parts of the province,<br />

you can enjoy numerous winter<br />

outdoor experiences, such as<br />

wintertubing, snowboarding, cross<br />

country or downhill skiing, or sleigh<br />

rides – all part of the winter fun in<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>!<br />

Festivals and special events often linger<br />

in the memories for a long time after<br />

the vacation is over. Who could forget<br />

the “Dickens Village Festival”, held in<br />

Carlyle the first weekend of every<br />

December, when the townspeople<br />

recreate quaint Victorian England?<br />

A definite high point in Moose Jaw’s<br />

year is the “Festival of Words” in July,<br />

attracting hundreds of writers and<br />

literature lovers of all genres. The<br />

communities of Consul, Robsart and<br />

Eastend have joined forces to present<br />

the 3-day “South West Quest for Art &<br />

History”, (July 20-22, 2012) which<br />

includes a self-guided tour to meet<br />

artists, view their art, experience music,<br />

history, films from the Yorkton Film<br />

Festival, a parade and fireworks<br />

(including your own hand-crafted<br />

luminary!)<br />

Traditional western prairie festival and<br />

event fare includes a variety of rodeos,<br />

both professional and neighborhood,<br />

like the “Reno Rodeo” in Consul, or the<br />

“Long Creek CCA Rodeo” in Radville.<br />

This part of the Canadian west is an<br />

unforgettable treasure trove for anyone<br />

who is interested in, or fascinated by,<br />

any or all kinds of culture and history.<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 7


<strong>Southern</strong> Saskatch<br />

there are large and small museums,<br />

many devoted to the intriguing and<br />

entertaining mementos and memories<br />

of the original residents and early<br />

settlers of what is now our province.<br />

140,000 visitors each year explore the<br />

Royal <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Museum in<br />

Regina to discover the “big picture” of<br />

the natural, geologic, and First Nations<br />

history of <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. Many visitors<br />

take a trip through the history of<br />

transportation at Moose Jaw’s Western<br />

Development Museum to discover<br />

some of the ways that humankind has<br />

overcome the challenges of space and<br />

distance.<br />

Investigate the early years of prairie<br />

agriculture at the Motherwell<br />

Homestead National Historic Site, or<br />

uncover the early days of prairie<br />

manufacturing industry at the Claybank<br />

Brick Plant National Historic Site.<br />

The proud history of the North West<br />

Mounted Police/Royal Canadian<br />

Mounted Police is brought to life at<br />

Fort Walsh and the Cypress Hills<br />

Massacre Historic Site, as well as the<br />

RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina,<br />

where hands-on displays encourage<br />

families to find out more about the<br />

honour of the force.<br />

As another tribute to our province’s<br />

proud history, <strong>Southern</strong> Prairie Railway<br />

will be “Pulling the Past Into the<br />

Future” when they launch<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>’s first and only Tourist<br />

Train in Ogema during early summer of<br />

2012!<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> has a rich and diverse<br />

history of achievement in the arts,<br />

which means a wealth of galleries,<br />

literary and performance creations,<br />

and unique memorabilia to take home<br />

as a tangible memory of an<br />

unforgettable vacation experience.<br />

In many of the galleries and studios,<br />

you may see the artists at work on<br />

their latest creations. A number of the<br />

venues, like the Sagebrush Studios<br />

near Leader, and Parsons-Dietrich<br />

Pottery in Moose Jaw, are located in<br />

restored churches.<br />

Throughout the southern part of the<br />

province, galleries such as the Yvette<br />

Moore Gallery in Moose Jaw, the<br />

Grasslands Gallery in Val Marie, and<br />

the Letterbox Gallery & Gifts in<br />

Lumsden, display impressive<br />

examples of local and regional work.<br />

One of the chief delights of traveling to<br />

a new place, whether it’s for an<br />

afternoon, a weekend, or a whole<br />

summer, is sampling the culinary<br />

delights and specialties of the area!<br />

<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> has many<br />

tasty treats in store for hungry<br />

travelers.<br />

8 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 2012/2013


ewan<br />

Many of the cafés, restaurants, diners,<br />

eateries or dining spots have built a<br />

solid reputation over the years. Patrons<br />

from near and far swear by the menus<br />

of places like the Rockin’ Horse<br />

Cookhouse & Bar, Redmond House<br />

B&B and Dining Establishment, the<br />

Star Café & Grill in Maple Creek, or<br />

Lumsden’s Brickhouse Bistro.<br />

Others travel equally long distances to<br />

sample the specialties of the Happy<br />

Nun Café in Forget, Hollyhock Market<br />

Natural Foods in Mortlach, or Café de<br />

Paris in Gravelbourg.<br />

And if you’re interested in a closer look<br />

at how delights like wine get from vine<br />

to table, be sure to visit the Cypress<br />

Hills Vineyard & Winery, near Maple<br />

Creek, where you can relax in their<br />

bistro café after viewing the process,<br />

tasting the product, and inspecting the<br />

vineyard gift shop.<br />

There are many other gift shops in<br />

southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> of course,<br />

along with fascinating antique marts<br />

and myriad boutique and mall outlets.<br />

Check out Spruce Creek Antiques &<br />

Collectables near Burstall; in Swift<br />

Current, visit Kokopelli’s: Purveyors of<br />

Neat Stuff (including curios, crystals<br />

and gift items), and Et Cetera Et<br />

Cetera, a gift boutique that’s described<br />

as “a gift boutique that defies<br />

description”!<br />

Distinctly unique <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> gifts<br />

are specialties of Bend in the River<br />

Berries in Moose Jaw, and Prairie<br />

Cherry Corner (Over the Hill certified<br />

organic orchards) in Lumsden.<br />

Many times, half the fun of traveling is<br />

deciding where to spend the night.<br />

That’s certainly the case when you’re<br />

visiting southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>,<br />

whether it’s for a quick overnighter, a<br />

weekend getaway or a major family<br />

holiday (maybe even with the horse or<br />

dogs!) Whoever you are, wherever<br />

you’re coming from, and however near<br />

or far you may be going -- we’ve got<br />

you covered!<br />

If you’re a fan of Bed & Breakfasts, we<br />

have a wide range of B&Bs, each with<br />

their own distinct style. Sleep in an<br />

authentic log cabin, a tipi or teepee, a<br />

homesteader’s cabin or a two-storey<br />

Eaton’s catalogue house! Sleep close<br />

to the beach, on the banks of a river,<br />

or in the centre of the city action – your<br />

choice!<br />

If you’re planning to camp, tent or<br />

bring your RV, you’ll have a long and<br />

varied list of choices at provincial and<br />

regional parks and private venues,<br />

offering full hook-ups right down to<br />

back country camping – again, the<br />

choice is yours!<br />

Those who prefer to be pampered<br />

while on vacation will be delighted with<br />

the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa in<br />

Moose Jaw, a truly luxurious spa resort<br />

featuring Canada’s largest therapeutic<br />

Tunnels of Moose Jaw<br />

geo-thermal mineral water indoor/<br />

outdoor rooftop pool. And for other<br />

‘big city style’ amenities, stay at least a<br />

night or two at the Bear Claw Casino &<br />

Hotel on the White Bear First Nation<br />

near Carlyle. You’ll find additional<br />

casino action at the Living Sky Casino<br />

in Swift Current, or at Casino Moose<br />

Jaw or Casino Regina.<br />

Visiting southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is<br />

almost like taking a trip around the<br />

world, or a scamper back in time. And<br />

yet, when you’re in our ‘fun zone’,<br />

you’re never far from the warmth of<br />

small-town friendliness and big-city<br />

comforts and conveniences.<br />

Everything is an easy drive, to and<br />

from all the things you like best to see<br />

and do.<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is the province that’s<br />

down to earth, where the sky’s the<br />

limit. And as we always say -- you<br />

CAN get here from there. No matter<br />

where “there” may be!<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 9


Cypress Hills/Grassla<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>’s well-deserved tag<br />

line is “Land of Living Skies”, and<br />

anyone who has ever had an<br />

opportunity to watch and marvel at the<br />

constantly changing expanse of wide<br />

blue yonder knows how appropriate<br />

that catch phrase is.<br />

The Cypress Hills/Grasslands region<br />

satisfies just about everyone’s vision of<br />

the range country of the Old West.<br />

Under the never-ending variations of<br />

cloud and shadow are the softly rolling<br />

native grasslands, the rugged cliffs and<br />

deep coulees of our childhood dreams,<br />

where cattle and buffalo roamed and<br />

the winds blew unchecked from horizon<br />

to horizon, just as they did when the<br />

first explorers visited.<br />

Experience untouched prairie when you<br />

visit the Old Man On His Back Nature<br />

Conservancy, located southwest of<br />

Eastend. This 13,000 acre ranch is one<br />

of the best remaining examples of the<br />

semi-arid mixed grass prairie that<br />

originally covered more than 160 million<br />

acres.<br />

It’s a haven for wildlife rarely seen by<br />

most Canadians, including Plains<br />

Bison, Pronghorn Antelope, and<br />

imperiled species such as the<br />

Burrowing Owl and Ferruginous Hawk.<br />

An interpretive centre is open<br />

weekends from mid-May to the end of<br />

September.<br />

The land for this remarkable preserve<br />

was donated by best-selling author and<br />

playwright Sharon Butala and her<br />

cowboy-rancher husband Peter. Many<br />

visitors to the site take home their<br />

memories with a copy of Sharon’s<br />

book, “Old Man On His Back: Portrait<br />

of a Prairie Landscape” with stunning<br />

colour photographs by award-winning<br />

photographer Courtney Milne.<br />

Star gazers create their own<br />

unforgettable outdoor memories in the<br />

Cypress Hills/Grasslands area thanks to<br />

the clear night skies and absence of city<br />

light pollution. Each August, the<br />

Saskatoon and Regina Centres of the<br />

Royal Astronomical Society of Canada<br />

welcome visitors from around the world<br />

for the annual <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Summer<br />

Star Party, with all-night-long observation<br />

sessions in the Centre Block of<br />

Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park and<br />

Dark Sky Preserve. Sky watching<br />

opportunities are also incredible at the<br />

Wilkinson Observatory, south of Eastend<br />

on Hwy #13, .as well as under the dark<br />

skies of Grasslands National Park.<br />

There’s no lack of daytime activities to<br />

enjoy in the area either. Overlooking the<br />

town of Eastend and the beautiful<br />

Frenchman River Valley, the T.rex<br />

Discovery Centre displays the working<br />

science of palaeontology and provides<br />

visitors the opportunity to participate in<br />

hands-on activities and view real fossils<br />

Or, take in the unusual and exciting<br />

activities offered by Cypress Hills Eco-<br />

Adventures Ltd. This new attraction<br />

takes you through the treetops of<br />

Cypress Hills on a zip line canopy tour!<br />

Once your feet touch back down,<br />

check out their climbing wall and<br />

slacklines to challenge your skills,<br />

strength and balance!<br />

10 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 2012/2013


nds<br />

All year round in southwest<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, you’ll be entertained and<br />

intrigued by a wide range of festivals<br />

and events. Here, the arts meet the Old<br />

West, and cowboy poetry sessions are a<br />

feature of many formal or informal gettogethers.<br />

The Cowboy Poetry Gathering<br />

and Western Art & Gear Show in Maple<br />

Creek each September showcases<br />

talented poets and musicians from<br />

Canada and the USA.<br />

South of Maple Creek lies the<br />

community of Consul, home of the<br />

Reno Rodeo, described as the “Biggest<br />

Little Rodeo in the West!” This familyfriendly<br />

event each July has all the<br />

traditional wranglers’ events including a<br />

Kids’ Rodeo and Jackpot Team Roping.<br />

Each summer, Consul joins with the<br />

communities of Robsart and Eastend to<br />

present the 3-day South West Quest for<br />

Art & History, (July 20-22, 2012). Take a<br />

self-guided tour to meet artists, view<br />

their art, experience music, history, films<br />

from the Yorkton Film Festival, a parade<br />

and fireworks.<br />

The past of southwest <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is<br />

lovingly preserved in many<br />

communities throughout the region.<br />

Nowhere is this more impressive than<br />

in Maple Creek, where the Jasper<br />

Cultural & Historical Centre occupies<br />

what was the town’s school in 1910.<br />

Built of locally-made bricks, with the<br />

original molded-tin ceilings, the<br />

museum features an actual railway<br />

station house, a one-room school, a<br />

collection of Heritage saddles and<br />

Charlie Russell prints. Maple Creek’s<br />

Oldtimers’ Museum welcomes summer<br />

visitors to displays of frontier artifacts,<br />

while they restore the log museum!<br />

In Shaunavon, which was a railroad<br />

centre in the early years of the last<br />

century, the Grand Coteau Heritage &<br />

Cultural Centre brings together the<br />

culture, arts, human and natural history<br />

of the area, and provides tourist<br />

information.<br />

From 1875 to 1883, the North West<br />

Mounted Police (now the Royal<br />

Canadian Mounted Police or RCMP)<br />

were headquartered at Fort Walsh in<br />

picturesque Battle Creek Valley. Today,<br />

this is part of the Fort Walsh & Cypress<br />

Hills Massacre National Historic Site.<br />

Through interactive programming in<br />

this living museum, visitors of all ages<br />

can experience the daily life of a 19th<br />

century Mountie. The lawless days of<br />

the whiskey trade which prompted the<br />

creation of Canada’s national police<br />

force have been recreated at the site<br />

of the infamous Cypress Hills<br />

Massacre, a haunting and significant<br />

milestone in our history.<br />

When you visit southwest<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, there are memories<br />

aplenty to take back home with you.<br />

And if you’re looking for something<br />

more tangible to remind you of your<br />

vacation good times, you’ll be glad to<br />

find all kinds of gift shops and<br />

galleries throughout the area. In Val<br />

Marie, a few kilometers from the<br />

Canada/U.S. border, visit the<br />

Grasslands Gallery, marketing beautiful<br />

fine art and crafts inspired by the<br />

southwest.<br />

Grasslands National Park is Canada’s first and largest<br />

preserve of prairie parkland. The West Block, centering on<br />

the Frenchman River Valley, is ideal for Front Country Hiking<br />

on built paths or marked routes. You may see or hear the<br />

rare Black-tailed Prairie Dog on your way! The East Block of<br />

the park, near Wood Mountain and home to the Killdeer<br />

Badlands, offers a challenge to even the most seasoned<br />

hiker, backcountry camping, as well as stunning and<br />

unexpected vistas.<br />

Vacationers, something like armies, tend to travel on their<br />

stomachs, so it’s fortunate there are so many culinary<br />

choices in southwest <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>! Just a few of the<br />

culinary delights are the Star Café & Grill, the Rockin’ Horse<br />

Cookhouse & Bar and Redmond House B & B & Dining<br />

Establishment in Maple Creek. The only commercial vineyard<br />

on the prairies is the Cypress Hills Vineyard and Winery,<br />

located just 20 km south of Maple Creek. The wine they<br />

make from homegrown and imported grapes, plus<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> berries and fruit, wins accolades and awards<br />

The area around Maple Creek offers many attractive options<br />

for day trippers or longer-term visitors, including a variety of<br />

accommodations ranging from cabins at Willowbend<br />

Campground or Eagle Valley Campground, to a Condo at<br />

Cypress Park Resort Inn.<br />

The Crossing Resort near Val Marie welcomes travelers with<br />

tents, RV units, or camper vans, and can provide two<br />

comfortable private suites. Rent a tipi for a truly unique<br />

holiday experience, or bring along your horse and take<br />

advantage of their “bed and bale” service. Or, also near Val<br />

Marie is Rosefield Church Guest House B&B. This selfcontained<br />

“little house on the prairie” is off the grid,<br />

generating its own wind and solar energy.<br />

Give yourself a treat and come visit the Cypress Hills/<br />

Grasslands for an afternoon, a weekend or a full vacation.<br />

You’ll find that your childhood dreams of “the old wild west”<br />

really do exist -- and they’re waiting for you in southwest<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 17


Great Sand Hills /<br />

Southwestern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is a<br />

land of the unexpected, with<br />

remarkable contrasts at every turn.<br />

Within easy driving distance, you can<br />

go from vast expanses of prairie<br />

grassland to gently rolling parkland<br />

dotted with brush and trees, from busy<br />

modern cities to friendly and welcoming<br />

towns and villages, from breathtaking<br />

expanses of sand dunes or hills to<br />

incredibly beautiful river valleys and<br />

some of the finest of this province’s<br />

more than 100,000 lakes!<br />

In Canada’s centennial year, 1967, the<br />

massive earthen Gardiner Dam was<br />

built across the South <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

River to create Lake Diefenbaker, the<br />

largest man-made lake in the province.<br />

More than 800 km. of sandy shoreline<br />

ensure many opportunities for<br />

recreation on the water. World-class fish<br />

have been pulled out of this popular<br />

lake: many species of game fish are<br />

just waiting for your hook!<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is home to some of the<br />

best competitive fishing events in<br />

Canada. Check out the annual Lake<br />

Diefenbaker Walleye Classic, which is<br />

held in May, and the <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

Landing International, held in July.<br />

Several other local fishing derbies are<br />

organized throughout the year,<br />

including ice-fishing events when the<br />

lake freezes over.<br />

Whether you’re fishing, sailing, speed<br />

boating, jet skiing, windsurfing or<br />

canoeing, you’ll find full-service marinas<br />

at <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Landing, Elbow and<br />

Riverhurst for all your boating needs.<br />

There are lots of dry-land opportunities<br />

for relaxation as well. Near Aylesbury, in<br />

the picturesque Arm River Valley, Trails<br />

End Guest Ranch offers cowboy<br />

adventures, trail and wagon rides,<br />

hiking, and riding lessons, along with<br />

modern air-conditioned motel-style<br />

cabins.<br />

The Chaplin Nature Centre, located on<br />

the Trans-Canada Highway near the<br />

town of Chaplin, is a world-class facility<br />

showcasing more than 30 species of<br />

shorebirds. The 2012 Chaplin Shorebird<br />

Festival will take place June 8 & 9.<br />

The Harbor Golf Club & Resort has an<br />

18-hole championship course situated<br />

on the bluffs overlooking scenic Lake<br />

Diefenbaker at Elbow Harbor<br />

Recreational Site. You’ll find another<br />

7000 yards of championship golf at the<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Landing Golf Resort, 15<br />

minutes south of Kyle, also offering<br />

breathtaking views of Lake Diefenbaker<br />

and the surrounding hills.<br />

Sage View Golf Course, located in<br />

Palliser Regional Park just a few<br />

minutes west and south of Riverhurst,<br />

is a beautiful 9-hole grass greens,<br />

natural links-style course, playing<br />

through the coulees alongside Lake<br />

Diefenbaker. Sage View is a “must see<br />

Lake Diefenbaker<br />

and play” for many golfers, because of<br />

its surprising layouts. One of the par-3<br />

holes has an 80-foot change in<br />

elevation from tee to green!<br />

First-rate sports activities aren’t the only<br />

recreational opportunities waiting for<br />

you in the Great Sand Hills/Diefenbaker<br />

area. There are all kinds of festivals and<br />

events as well to delight and entertain<br />

you: on June 23 and 24, 2012, the<br />

skies over Swift Current will be alive<br />

with some of the most unique kites in<br />

the world, during the eighth annual<br />

Windscape Kite Festival. Swift Current is<br />

also the site for the Long Days Night<br />

Music Festival from June 21-23, 2012,<br />

celebrating three of the longest days of<br />

the year with a wide range of music<br />

and lots of fun. July 12-15, 2012 is time<br />

for a return to the 1920s, when Swift<br />

Current’s Lyric Theatre welcomes<br />

Summer Chautauqua. Listen to lectures,<br />

music and story-telling, drink<br />

sarsparilla, eat corndogs, and enjoy<br />

world-class touring theatre artists, just<br />

as local audiences did 90 years ago.<br />

For more examples of western cultural<br />

history, check out the rodeos in the<br />

Sand Hills /Lake Diefenbaker area, and<br />

be sure to visit a Round Dance and<br />

Pow Wow at Swift Current’s Living Sky<br />

Casino. To round off your experience<br />

with a personal touch, drop around to<br />

the Glass Slipper Spa for esthetics, skin<br />

care, laser services or pilates classes.<br />

In this part of southwestern<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, you’re never very far<br />

from the roots of the people and the<br />

history of the area. The Swift Current<br />

Museum showcases a 9,000 year<br />

history of the southwest.<br />

Newly located in a historic<br />

schoolhouse, the F.T. Hill Museum in<br />

Riverhurst has a fine arrray of pioneer<br />

and aboriginal artifacts, plus a<br />

complete collection of <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

license plates! And the Great Sandhills<br />

Museum in Sceptre invites you to take<br />

a stroll back in time down its wooden<br />

boardwalks.<br />

The Art Gallery of Swift Current is both a<br />

museum with a collection of fine art,<br />

and the cultural centerpiece of the<br />

community, showcasing a variety of art<br />

forms including literary, film, music and<br />

dance.<br />

Near the Estuary Ferry, north of the<br />

community of Leader, you’ll find<br />

Sagebrush Studios & Art Galleries. From<br />

the May long weekend to the end of<br />

September, visitors are welcome, by<br />

chance or by appointment, to see<br />

unique oil paintings and clay works,<br />

displayed in two restored church<br />

galleries.<br />

The culinary arts are also wellrepresented<br />

in the Great Sandhills/Lake<br />

Diefenbaker region. The Mainstay Inn,<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 27


Big Muddy<br />

No trip to southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is<br />

complete without a visit to “The Big<br />

Muddy”. This southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

treasure, rich with history and<br />

recreation opportunities, is located<br />

midway between Alberta and Manitoba,<br />

right against the Canadian/American<br />

border.<br />

This extraordinary and remote area,<br />

part of ancient glacial channel, was<br />

attractive to early ranchers and settlers.<br />

Its rugged landscape also attracted<br />

refugees like Sitting Bull, as well as<br />

horse thieves, robbers, and<br />

bootleggers.<br />

Travelers have a wide range of options<br />

for experiencing this unique region.<br />

Wood Mountain Regional Park, situated<br />

amid rolling hills in the heart of ranch<br />

country, features the Old Post NWMP<br />

site, Sitting Bull monument and other<br />

amenities. Near LaFleche, Thompson<br />

Lake Regional Park offers campsites<br />

and facilities for swimming, boating,<br />

fishing, golf, and family recreation.<br />

In the Rockglen district, you’ll enjoy a<br />

truly different vacation experience at the<br />

Effie Mattson Memorial Nature Walk &<br />

Archaeological Centre. Discover semiarid<br />

plant species, native animals, First<br />

Nations artifacts, a paleontological site,<br />

and a regional diorama.<br />

A variety of festivals and events<br />

throughout the Big Muddy will also<br />

provide out-of-the-ordinary vacation<br />

experiences. Culture, heritage and<br />

spirituality blend at the annual Summer<br />

Solstice Festival d’eté in Gravelbourg<br />

(June 22-24, 2012), where you can<br />

experience a weekend of art, music,<br />

dance, literature, drama, international<br />

cuisine, children’s activities and<br />

workshops. For a unique outdoor<br />

musical experience, take in the 2nd<br />

Annual Wood Mountain Folk Music<br />

Festival (August 24-25, 2012) at the<br />

Mergel Ranch Campgrounds.<br />

Thousands of people gather in<br />

Mortlach on the first Saturday in July<br />

continuous rodeo will take place from<br />

July 6-8, 2012.<br />

Several truly indulgent options await<br />

you in Moose Jaw. Choose from one of<br />

the city’s many spas – perhaps the<br />

Sahara Spa, across from beautiful<br />

Crescent Park in the historic CNR<br />

station, offering the world’s most<br />

traditional forms of spa treatments. Or<br />

try the Hibiscus Sun Spa and Boutique,<br />

Purely Pleasure Salon, Wrapture Day<br />

Spa & Salon, and the renowned Temple<br />

Gardens Mineral Spa.<br />

If you’re eager to tour the Big Muddy<br />

Badlands and explore Butch Cassidy’s<br />

Outlaw Trail, there are tours by van, or<br />

private guided tours in your own<br />

vehicle. Many of the sites are on private<br />

land and accessible only on a guided<br />

tour which leaves from Coronach.<br />

The St. Victor Petroglyphs Provincial<br />

Park contains one of <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>’s<br />

most fascinating mysteries. Located<br />

just a short drive northwest of Willow<br />

Bunch, these prehistoric carvings come<br />

from an unknown pre-contact culture.<br />

At the Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and<br />

Museum, 8 miles south of Moose Jaw,<br />

40 acres of authentic pioneer and<br />

historical buildings and artifacts are<br />

lovingly displayed by volunteers from<br />

May to September each year. Visit the<br />

childhood homestead of John G.<br />

Diefenbaker, Canada’s 13th Prime<br />

Minister, or see the “Sontiainen”, the<br />

43-foot ship hand-built in the 1930s in<br />

the middle of the prairie by Tom<br />

Sukanen, to sail home to Finland.<br />

Other forms of transportation are<br />

commemorated in Moose Jaw at the<br />

Western Development Museum –<br />

History of Transportation. In Ogema, a<br />

group of enthusiastic volunteers in the<br />

Ogema Heritage Railway Association<br />

have established the <strong>Southern</strong> Prairie<br />

Motorcycling near Rockglen<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 41


Qu’Appelle Valley<br />

Many things about <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

are often a big surprise to<br />

travelers who come from “away” to visit<br />

us for the first time -- they don’t expect<br />

this prairie province to have more than<br />

100,000 lakes, magnificent forests<br />

or respectable ranges of hills with<br />

the highest point between the Rocky<br />

Mountains and Labrador.<br />

There are other unexpected things<br />

as well, especially in the south! Our<br />

plains are often thought of as being<br />

flat, unbroken stretches of prairie with<br />

nothing to distract the traveler from<br />

keeping right on toward the horizon!<br />

That idea comes to a screeching halt<br />

when the weary wayfarer discovers<br />

the Qu’Appelle Valley, stretched<br />

seductively out from east to west<br />

across the lower part of the province.<br />

It’s one of the most attractive and<br />

most popular playgrounds you’ll find<br />

anywhere, dotted with lakes and<br />

sheltered by treed hills both summer<br />

and winter. The Qu’Appelle River<br />

system is one of the major continental<br />

waterways that served as a highway<br />

and corridor into the Great Plains and<br />

today still attracts travelers from near<br />

and far.<br />

Whatever the time of year, there are<br />

recreation opportunities galore for<br />

families or individual vacationers<br />

looking for rest and relaxation -- or for<br />

excitement and enjoyment! During<br />

summers in the Qu’Appelle Valley,<br />

Explore Sports is dedicated to helping<br />

everyone enjoy kiteboarding and stand<br />

up paddling safely with a maximum<br />

of fun. You can also delight in hiking,<br />

golfing, swimming and other water<br />

sports.<br />

For recreational activities you may not<br />

have tried before, visit Legends Are<br />

Made At Katepwa near Indian Head on<br />

the south shore of Katepwa Lake -- this<br />

eco-friendly company rents canoes,<br />

kayaks and pedal boats for enjoyable<br />

exercise on the water.<br />

In late summer and autumn, Pumpkin<br />

Hollow Corn Maze, Family Farm & Fall<br />

Festival in Lumsden has “Memories in<br />

the Making” with multiple corn mazes,<br />

a Hay Bale Slide, <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>’s only<br />

Jumping Pillow, and a one-of-a-kind<br />

annual Halloween party, among many<br />

other attractions.<br />

Ravine Adventures in Abernethy<br />

provides year-round adventure<br />

excitement, including a 10 foot bubble<br />

ball, mud pit, and pedal go-karts in<br />

the summer. In the winter, try snow<br />

42 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 2012/2013


tubing topped off with a cozy evening<br />

by the fire. You can also go ice fishing,<br />

snowmobiling, or cross-country skiing.<br />

Mission Ridge Winter Park in Fort<br />

Qu’Appelle offers ten dynamic ski runs,<br />

a high calibre Terrain Park, and two<br />

bunny hills for all levels of skiers and<br />

boarders.<br />

The Qu’Appelle Valley is the perfect<br />

spot for Festivals of all sorts. The<br />

premiere event is undoubtedly the<br />

annual Craven Country Jamboree<br />

(July 12-15, 2012), the longest-running<br />

multi-day music festival in Canada. For<br />

a little folk music fix prior to your main<br />

course of country, visit “All Folk’d Up”<br />

in Montmartre (“Paris of the Prairies”),<br />

their popular annual folk music festival<br />

(July 6-8, 2012).<br />

The province’s capital city of Regina,<br />

honoured with the Latin title for<br />

“Queen”, is technically included in<br />

the Qu’Appelle Valley region. It’s a<br />

wonderful spot to experience the arts,<br />

culture and history that this remarkable<br />

province has contributed to the fabric<br />

of Canada.<br />

The Royal <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Museum<br />

displays extensive collections<br />

dedicated to <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>’s natural<br />

and geological history and the First<br />

Nations’ cultures, past and present.<br />

The Government House Museum<br />

and Heritage Property, where the<br />

province’s Lieutenant Governors once<br />

lived, takes you back in time to the<br />

years when the manner of governing<br />

a vast area of western and northern<br />

Canada was being decided upon.<br />

The nearby RCMP Heritage Centre<br />

features state-of-the-art exhibits,<br />

multimedia technologies, fascinating<br />

programming, and tours that breathe<br />

life into the remarkable story of the<br />

Mounties and their accomplishments<br />

to “Maintain the Right”!<br />

In the eastern expanses of the<br />

Qu’Appelle Valley, you’ll find<br />

fascinating glimpses of history both<br />

past and present. Near the community<br />

of Esterhazy, the Kaposvar Historic<br />

Site preserves artifacts and buildings,<br />

including the Kaposvar Roman<br />

Catholic church, honoring early<br />

Hungarian settlement. Modern day<br />

accomplishment is honored at the<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Potash Interpretive<br />

Centre, where intriguing interactive<br />

displays and exhibits explain the<br />

evolution of the potash industry from<br />

early mechanical mining to today’s<br />

high-tech methods.<br />

On the outskirts of historically rich<br />

and picturesquely named Indian<br />

Head, you’ll see a unique and famed<br />

Bell Barn - Photo Credit: <strong>Tourism</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>/Gerard Makuch<br />

Letterbox Gallery & Gifts in Lumsden<br />

features <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> artists and<br />

artisans whose creations clearly<br />

demonstrate the “Wow!” factor. In<br />

Lebret, The Little Glass Hut welcomes<br />

art-loving travelers. This quaint little<br />

house is both a studio and retail<br />

outlet, so you can watch the genesis<br />

of unique stained glass pieces, then<br />

browse the works of talented local and<br />

Canadian artists.<br />

landmark , the Indian Head Bell Barn.<br />

Built of fieldstone in 1882, it has been<br />

restored and rebuilt as a perennially<br />

popular tourist attraction. Another<br />

tourist favorite in the Qu’Appelle<br />

Valley is Motherwell Homestead<br />

National Historic Site, near Abernethy.<br />

Costumed guides provide a living<br />

glimpse of the lifestyle of the early<br />

20th century, and the life and career<br />

of pioneer farmer/politician W.R.<br />

Motherwell.<br />

A “blast from the past” is available to<br />

residents and visitors alike in Wolseley,<br />

named “One of Canada’s Prettiest<br />

Towns”. It’s also the home of one of<br />

Canada’s last remaining authentic<br />

drive-in theatres! From spring through<br />

autumn each year, the Twi-Light Drivein<br />

Theatre screens the latest movies for<br />

carfuls of nostalgic viewers -- “just like<br />

drive-ins used to!”<br />

Wolseley also delights history buffs<br />

with its classic 1906 Town Hall<br />

and Opera House, and a famed<br />

swinging bridge that attracts both<br />

daring pedestrians and discerning<br />

photographers.<br />

To feed the physique as well as the<br />

artistic soul while travelling through<br />

the Qu’Appelle Valley, check out some<br />

of the best-known and most mouthwatering<br />

places to chow down! In<br />

Lumsden, pay a visit to the Brickhouse<br />

Bistro, with an extensive family menu<br />

and some quirky extras like caramel<br />

apples! At Katepwa Beach Resort<br />

Hotel, try either or both Sandpipers’<br />

Restaurant and the Main Beach Bar &<br />

Grill. Visit a while for the beautiful valley<br />

view, but stay a little longer for the<br />

excellent eatables!<br />

One of the best-kept secrets of the<br />

Qu’Appelle Valley is the Resort Village<br />

of Bird’s Point on Round Lake. There<br />

are lots of reasons to pay a visit, with<br />

campsites, cabin rental, a hotel, mini<br />

golf, outdoor adventure areas and<br />

picnic spots. Make sure to stop by<br />

Strasbourg you’re<br />

Find the balance<br />

looking for<br />

Take a drive this summer and explore<br />

“your own backyard.” A scenic drive<br />

through the Last Mountain Valley, north<br />

of Regina on Highway #20, will take you<br />

to Strasbourg – a town that brings to life<br />

the balance that we all seek. A<br />

progressive, thriving town, Strasbourg<br />

strives to keep alive its heritage and<br />

spirit of more than 100 years, by staying<br />

true to its small town roots and its vital<br />

sense of community.<br />

Travelers from all over can expect<br />

friendly faces and an accommodating<br />

atmosphere when visiting Strasbourg.<br />

Take advantage of the beautifully-treed<br />

Lions Park, with reasonably priced daily<br />

camping spots and a children’s Splash<br />

Park, situated in a peaceful, secluded<br />

area. While visiting, make sure to also<br />

stop by the Strasbourg & District<br />

Museum. A renovated train station as<br />

old as the town itself, the Museum<br />

boasts an impressive display of<br />

historical artifacts from Strasbourg and<br />

the surrounding area.<br />

Residents and visitors in need of health<br />

care can expect to be well taken care of<br />

in Strasbourg. The town is home to a<br />

professionally staffed clinic, with the<br />

services of a doctor, nurse practitioner,<br />

dentist, physiotherapist, and mental<br />

health practitioner. Health care continues<br />

into the community with massage<br />

therapists, and a pharmacy open six<br />

days a week. To further ensure the safety<br />

of our area, RCMP, ambulance, and a<br />

well-trained volunteer fire department are<br />

based within the town, and are always<br />

on call.<br />

Four churches provide for the spiritual<br />

Catholic, Lutheran, and United. You are<br />

welcome to join in worship and<br />

experience the inspirational musical<br />

talents from groups such as The Last<br />

Mountain Boys and Spirit Led.<br />

Families, either visiting or residing in<br />

Strasbourg, will find a community that<br />

supports growth and welcomes new<br />

faces. Welcome Neighbour Night is an<br />

annual event, which gives an opportunity<br />

to welcome newcomers to the town. The<br />

K-12 school draws students from a wide<br />

area, boasts a new playground facility,<br />

and provides many extracurricular<br />

activities, both sports and arts-oriented.<br />

Strasbourg is also an excellent place for<br />

businesses and families to grow, offering<br />

choices to the working family, including a<br />

fully licensed daycare. A number of<br />

senior citizen housing rental units are<br />

available, complete with lawn care and<br />

snow removal. A mobility bus, a<br />

volunteer taxi service, and Meals on<br />

Wheels are always available to residents<br />

needing assistance.<br />

There is never a dull moment in<br />

Strasbourg, as events are continually<br />

hosted year-round. Dinner theatres,<br />

drama festivals, dance recitals, fowl<br />

suppers, and haunted houses are just<br />

the tip of the iceberg of events that you<br />

can attend in Strasbourg. A monthly<br />

Farmer’s Market gives residents and<br />

visitors the chance to see what local<br />

artists and producers have to offer. If you<br />

like sports, hockey and curling both<br />

keep the Strasbourg Recreation Centre<br />

busy during the winter months. In the<br />

summer, the Lions Ball Park hosts both<br />

junior and senior ball teams for the<br />

season. Across the road from the ball<br />

diamonds is the beautifully kept, ninehole,<br />

sand green golf course, which<br />

hosts several tournaments, including an<br />

annual Hole-in-One tourney with a<br />

$10,000 grand prize.<br />

Strasbourg has developed a beautiful<br />

green space for the community to enjoy<br />

on Mountain Street. The residents of<br />

Strasbourg are looking forward to having<br />

a place to gather or rest.<br />

A short, 20-minute drive west from<br />

Strasbourg will take you to beautiful<br />

Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park on Last<br />

Mountain Lake, where you can enjoy<br />

fishing, boating, swimming, and<br />

camping. To the north of Strasbourg is<br />

the oldest bird sanctuary in North<br />

America. Last Mountain Lake is a<br />

migratory artery, drawing outdoorsmen<br />

from all over the world.<br />

Strasbourg enjoys its quieter, country<br />

pace, but also has the comforts of a<br />

larger centre. There is no need to leave<br />

town to enjoy great restaurants,<br />

specialty shops, high speed internet, or<br />

banking, including 24-hour ATM service.<br />

A hardware store, lumber yard, post<br />

office, library, liquor store, car dealership,<br />

computer repair and sales shop, service<br />

stations, grocery stores, insurance<br />

agencies and vehicle repair shops are<br />

only some of the many services<br />

available.<br />

Fort Qu’Appelle<br />

An ‘oasis on the prairies’ best describes the community<br />

of Fort Qu’Appelle located in the Qu’Appelle Valley of<br />

southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. Surrounded by a history and a<br />

culture dating back to the late 1700s, the valley community<br />

has been referred to as a recreational mecca.<br />

Within this beautiful valley are four freshwater lakes<br />

which attracted fur traders and the establishment of the<br />

Hudson Bay post in 1864. The North West Mounted Police<br />

established their barracks on the site which is now the<br />

Echo Ridge Golf Course. In 1885 the barracks served as<br />

headquarters for troops under General Middleton prior to<br />

proceeding north to Batoche to deal with the Riel Rebellion.<br />

Over 130 years ago, 32 western prairie First Nations Bands<br />

gathered in the valley near Fort Qu’Appelle to negotiate<br />

and sign Treaties with Her Majesty the Queen. Today, these<br />

traditional lands are the site of The Treaty Four Governance<br />

Centre as well as the site of annual celebrations of those<br />

historic events. Adjacent to the center is the largest<br />

inhabited Tipi measuring 70 feet in diameter, rising 111 feet<br />

above the valley floor with 13 poles supporting the circular<br />

structure of the Tipi. Each pole represents a spiritual or<br />

ethical value of the First Nations Community.<br />

Approximately 45 minutes northeast of our capital city on<br />

Highway 10, Fort Qu’Appelle has become a major tourist<br />

and business centre with all the conveniences of larger<br />

cities. The year round recreational activities include: a<br />

magnificent golf course within walking distance from a<br />

lakeshore campground; hiking and nature trails; access to<br />

Pasqua Lake, Echo Lake, Mission Lake and Katepwa Lake<br />

for fishing or recreational water activities; Mission Ridge<br />

Winter Park for skiing and snowboarding; snowmobile trails<br />

as well as many historical points of interest just to mention<br />

some of the unique attractions within this valley community.<br />

A new “FORT” has been built at the old <strong>Saskatchewan</strong><br />

Environment site beside the Town campground. Phase<br />

Two of the project is taking place with the renovation of<br />

the existing buildings at the site to provide rental space for<br />

cultural activities. The Fort and grounds including washroom<br />

facilities are presently available for rent by contacting (306)<br />

332-5266.<br />

Wolseley<br />

The Town Around<br />

the Lake<br />

Wolseley is an exceptional prairie<br />

community. In 1902 the Canadian<br />

Pacific Railway dammed up Wolf<br />

Creek creating a man-made lake.<br />

Through an underground pipe, water<br />

from this lake was pumped to a tank<br />

next to the railway tracks. The steam<br />

locomotives using the water have long<br />

since disappeared. Fairly Lake, as it is<br />

now called, is one of our many unique,<br />

picturesque features of the town.<br />

Spanning this body of water is a 100<br />

metre long Swinging Bridge. If you walk<br />

across the bridge you will find another<br />

treasure in our community, the oldest<br />

existing Court House in <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>.<br />

This court building was constructed<br />

in 1895 and presently is the only one<br />

surviving from the Territorial Government<br />

days. On Blanchard Street we have<br />

the Wolseley Museum. Attached to this<br />

museum is the first Beaver Lumber<br />

Office which had its beginnings in<br />

Wolseley and its creator E.A. Banbury<br />

formed his idea that launched an<br />

enterprise in our community. His home<br />

“the Banbury House” is one of our<br />

town features and you can spend the<br />

night as it was converted to a bed and<br />

breakfast back in 1985.<br />

The historic “gem” of the community<br />

is the Town Hall / Opera House. Built<br />

Opera House<br />

Perley Block<br />

in 1906 as a facility to house a library,<br />

town office, council chambers, jail<br />

cell, fire hall and opera house, it was<br />

restored to its original glory in 1993.<br />

It is now the community auditorium<br />

for a variety of events from theatre<br />

performances to weddings and dance<br />

competitions.<br />

Court House<br />

Twilite Drive-In<br />

There is more to Wolseley than its rich<br />

heritage of buildings. It is a town that<br />

enjoys significant sports programs,<br />

multi-faceted cultural groups,<br />

progressive businesses and industries.<br />

All these add up to a very attractive<br />

community for both residents and<br />

visitors.<br />

The Town of Wolseley invites you to our<br />

community and to see our historic and<br />

unique places.<br />

For more information, call the Town<br />

Office at (306) 698-2477.<br />

Sunday of each December,<br />

townspeople recreate the Victorian age,<br />

with caroling urchins, Father Christmas,<br />

and even Ebenezer Scrooge!<br />

One of the area’s favorite summer<br />

attractions can also be found in Carlyle:<br />

the Prairie Dog Drive-In Theatre delights<br />

locals and visitors from miles around, to<br />

re-visit the golden days of drive-in<br />

movies.<br />

Weyburn is an excellent spot to learn a<br />

lot about several fascinating facets of<br />

Canadian history. “The roarin’ game” is<br />

arguably the favourite winter sport of<br />

small town Canadians, so you’ll find the<br />

Turner Curling Museum both<br />

entertaining and illuminating. Weyburn’s<br />

Heritage Village is a replica of a prairie<br />

community from the turn of the century<br />

to the 1940s. The Soo Line Historical<br />

Museum has many surprising artifacts,<br />

including one of the largest silver<br />

collections in the world.<br />

National and provincial political icon<br />

T.C. “Tommy” Douglas, the Father of<br />

Medicare, spent much of his early life<br />

as a Baptist minister in Weyburn. Now,<br />

a life-size bronze statue of this<br />

“Greatest Canadian” stands on the<br />

city’s Riverfront Boardwalk. The church<br />

in which he preached is now the<br />

Tommy Douglas Centre.<br />

Estevan is known as the Energy City,<br />

site of two power stations producing<br />

more than half the electricity used by<br />

the province of <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. Take a<br />

tour of the Shand Power Station to see<br />

how the excess heat it generates is<br />

used to warm a greenhouse producing<br />

millions of seedlings for conservation<br />

projects. The Estevan Art Gallery &<br />

Museum is a public facility dedicated to<br />

developing and disseminating artistic,<br />

cultural and historical achievements.<br />

The Roche Percée Rock Formations are<br />

perhaps the most dramatic and<br />

intriguing attraction in the southeast<br />

corner of <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. These<br />

unusual outcroppings, eroded by wind<br />

and water, were once covered with<br />

symbolic First Nations carvings and<br />

later autographs of early European<br />

explorers. South East Tours & Trails,<br />

based in Bienfait, provides guided tours<br />

of the area’s historical and natural<br />

attractions, including sites of the NWMP<br />

(North West Mounted Police), Boundary<br />

Commission, First Nations/Metis, coal<br />

mining history, and more.<br />

At Cannington Manor Provincial Historic<br />

Park, guides in period garb introduce<br />

visitors to the days when the sons of<br />

English gentry were sent to this<br />

Victorian outpost on the Canadian<br />

prairies to learn to become “gentlemen<br />

farmers”.<br />

The Happy Nun Café & Music in Forget<br />

embraces a broad horizon of arts,<br />

including culinary, visual, performance<br />

and literary! Whenever possible, they<br />

use local and seasonal produce, meat<br />

and ingredients, and showcase local<br />

and regional musicians and performers.<br />

Kenosee Lake, nestled in Moose<br />

Mountain Provincial Park, is one of the<br />

most popular recreation destinations in<br />

the area, with a variety of appealing<br />

places to stop or stay: the Kenosee Inn<br />

Resort Hotel has a balcony off every<br />

room, light housekeeping cabins, and a<br />

licensed dining room and lounge. Club<br />

19 Restaurant and Lounge is open for<br />

meals, beverages and a great view all<br />

year round, but during the spring and<br />

summer you can also enjoy Golf<br />

Kenosee, an 18-hole course with bent<br />

grass greens.<br />

Close by, also on Kenosee Lake, is the<br />

Moosehead Inn, a restaurant, lounge,<br />

and nightclub with an unusual twist –<br />

it’s reputed to be haunted! There are no<br />

guarantees you will witness paranormal<br />

activity of any sort, but your spirits will<br />

definitely be raised once you try their<br />

“world famous” pizza!<br />

No vacation is ever truly complete<br />

unless it involves some serious<br />

shopping for those “what did you bring<br />

me?” homecoming moments! If your<br />

southeastern wanderings take you by<br />

the village of Fairlight, be sure to check<br />

out the gifts and gourmet foods at<br />

Home Sweet Home Tea Room & Gift<br />

Shoppe. The name itself will brighten<br />

your day! And for more wonderful<br />

small-town customer-friendly shopping<br />

experiences, browse King’s Department<br />

Store in Carlyle.<br />

In the Estevan Shopper’s Mall, visit the<br />

Solar Studio Art Gallery, a unique<br />

co-operative created and managed by<br />

local artists. Then enhance your<br />

shopping trip – and your vacation --<br />

with a little well-deserved selfpampering<br />

at Dolly Sue’s Salon, Day<br />

Spa & Boutique.<br />

Many visitors find that there’s so much<br />

to see and do in the Souris and Moose<br />

Mountain regions of southeastern<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> that they just can’t fit it<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 67


all in to one trip! So if you plan to stay a while, be sure to<br />

look around and see what accommodations might be exactly<br />

right for you.<br />

Near Midale, like an oasis dropped from the sky among the<br />

level grain fields, rocky grasslands and numerous pumpjacks<br />

dotting <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>’s oil patch, you’ll find Mainprize<br />

Regional Park and Golf Course. There are housing and<br />

camping lots, a restaurant and fully-stocked Pro-Shop. Also<br />

at Mainprize Regional Park is wheelchair-accessible Harbour<br />

View Bed & Breakfast, with high-speed wireless internet,<br />

located close to the beach and boat launch.<br />

Other B&B options are Antler Creek Bed & Breakfast in<br />

Wawota, a livestock farm offering spacious, comfortable and<br />

relaxing surroundings. Carnduff’s Orioles Paradise Bed &<br />

Breakfast is quiet and comfortable, within walking distance to<br />

every part of town.<br />

Near Moose Mountain Provincial Park, White Bear Lake<br />

Resort and the town of Carlyle, the 36-room Bear Claw Hotel<br />

has indoor access to the Bear Claw Casino gaming floor and<br />

full-service restaurant. There’s free wireless internet, and<br />

convenient RV and bus parking.<br />

Whenever you come to visit southeastern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, in<br />

whichever season, and whatever your interests may be, you’ll<br />

find a warm welcome waiting for you, with plenty to see and<br />

do, and more options and opportunities than you’re likely to<br />

be able to fit comfortably into your plans. That means just<br />

one thing – you need to plan a return visit…soon.<br />

Redvers<br />

A<br />

Centennial<br />

Community<br />

In 1870, at the time of the Red River<br />

Rebellion, companies of British<br />

soldiers and Ontario residents were<br />

sent to quell the rebellion.<br />

Young Captain Buller was in charge<br />

of one such company. Twenty-eight<br />

years later, he was General Sir Redvers<br />

Buller, Commander in Chief of the<br />

British forces in South Africa. In 1897-<br />

98, surveyors arrived at the point where<br />

Redvers now stands and were called<br />

upon to give it a name. The headlines<br />

in the newspaper that night carried the<br />

news of the Boer War and mentioned<br />

the name of Generals Sir Redvers<br />

Buller, Warren, Rhodes, Methuen and<br />

Wauchope. Our town was given the<br />

name of Redvers and our streets the<br />

names of the other generals. The town<br />

was incorporated in 1904 and such is<br />

our history.<br />

Energy City<br />

Photograph courtesy of Melanie Hiske<br />

Why Estevan?<br />

Located in the South East corner of<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>, Estevan is a corridor<br />

for travel to and from the United States.<br />

Hustling and bustling with economic<br />

activity, the city has solid foundations of<br />

a vibrant community. Estevan has<br />

something for everyone, whether a pass<br />

by traveler with only a couple of hours to<br />

spend or the traveler with a couple of<br />

days to take it all in, the young and the<br />

young at heart will find different aspects<br />

of the city, which will appeal to them. A<br />

variety of attractions, events,<br />

accommodations, restaurants and retail<br />

shopping are bound to keep you<br />

captivated.<br />

Motor Sports<br />

With 3 forms of motorsports, the Energy<br />

City is the most appropriate title for<br />

Estevan. These motorsports are a<br />

testimony to the love affair the residents<br />

of Estevan have with automobiles and<br />

racing. Between the Estevan Motor<br />

Speedway, Estevan Drag Racing<br />

Association and Trackside MX, the races<br />

provide a wide variety of options for<br />

racing enthusiasts. For the ones who<br />

haven’t been to races before, the<br />

experience can be exhilarating.<br />

Arts and Culture<br />

In the midst of all the economic activity,<br />

Estevan boasts of an arts scene which<br />

is not to be missed. The Estevan Art<br />

Gallery & Museum (EAGM) is a public<br />

gallery that offers a free exchange of<br />

ideas and perspectives to reflect<br />

Estevan’s rapidly expanding social and<br />

cultural diversity. The North West<br />

Mounted Police (NWMP) museum is<br />

located in close vicinity to the art gallery<br />

and documents artifacts which hold<br />

significance to the Mounted Police who<br />

arrived in Estevan in 1874.<br />

The Souris Valley Museum houses<br />

various exhibits that reflect the rich<br />

heritage and history of Estevan. The<br />

museum provides guided tours of the<br />

exhibits which include a cook cart and a<br />

school house, dating back to the 19th<br />

century.<br />

Hunting & Fishing<br />

The Estevan and surrounding area<br />

boasts great opportunities for anyone<br />

with the outdoors in mind. Hunting,<br />

fishing and hiking are among the most<br />

popular.<br />

Each fall finds hundreds of area hunters<br />

taking to the fields in pursuit of Whitetail<br />

deer, Mule deer, Antelope, Moose and<br />

Elk. There is also excellent water fowl<br />

populations due to the healthy<br />

watershed area and larger lakes like<br />

Rafferty, Boundary and Alameda dams.<br />

Fishing is also a favorite pastime in the<br />

Estevan area. Rafferty, Boundary and<br />

Alameda dams are excellent fishing<br />

water bodies in the immediate area.<br />

Northern Pike, Walleye and Yellow<br />

Perch are abundant in each water<br />

body. Boundary Dam is also very well<br />

known for it’s Largemouth Bass fishery.<br />

This is the only location in Western<br />

Canada where you can fight the mighty<br />

Largemouth Bass and fishermen travel<br />

for hours to enjoy the experience.<br />

2012/2013 <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Vacation Guide 79


Kipling<br />

“Preserving our past, aspiring<br />

ipling was named for the great English author,<br />

“KRudyard Kipling. The town was born of the great<br />

migration of people from Europe and North America at the<br />

turn of the century. The Canadian West offered free land. The<br />

railways transported settlers coming in and products going<br />

out. Settlers from many lands came together to build homes<br />

and to form communities. Kipling became a trading centre<br />

and a community when a mix of British, German, Hungarian,<br />

and Scandinavian pioneers settled, built homes, schools,<br />

churches, and worked together.<br />

Kipling’s history is typical of many <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> local<br />

histories. But each history is different, although the<br />

environment, the hardships, and the challenges are much<br />

alike. Kipling’s history is unique because so many major<br />

strains, people from many different nations, came together,<br />

accepted one another, worked together and built a thriving<br />

community.” Quoted by Dr. John Archer (Kipling & District<br />

History Book).<br />

Kipling was incorporated September 11, 1909 and attained<br />

town status on January 1, 1954. According to the health<br />

region statistics, Kipling’s population covered by<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> Health Care in June 2010 was 1,236. Kipling<br />

also supports a sizeable trading area. The Town of Kipling is<br />

a 1½ hour drive from the cities of Yorkton, Regina, Estevan<br />

and Weyburn, located in the Rural Municipality of Kingsley<br />

which borders with the RMs of Hazelwood, Silverwood, and<br />

Chester.<br />

Kipling is based on an agricultural economy of grain,<br />

livestock and mixed farms, as well as an ever-increasingly<br />

strong oil exploration and service sector. The livestock<br />

industry boasts several large hog operations, which includes<br />

two of the world’s leading companies conducting research<br />

on swine genetics. Kipling has also become the centre for<br />

health care and youth education in the area.<br />

Golf Course<br />

The watered greens and fairways make the Kingswood Golf<br />

Course a lush playable surface. Reasonably priced at $12 for<br />

9-holes or $21 for 18-holes, the par 35 (men) and 36 (ladies)<br />

challenges golfers with abundant water hazards, hidden<br />

holes and plenty of trees. Power carts are available for rent<br />

and there are no booking requirements. For special golfing<br />

packages and rates, please call the clubhouse at (306) 736-<br />

8220 mid-May until mid-October or Kipling Recreation<br />

Programmer at (306) 736-8440 in the off season.<br />

Swimming Pool<br />

From June to August, the Kipling and District Swimming Pool<br />

staff offer lessons for Red Cross and diving, scuba diving<br />

clinics, aquasize. A variety of pool parties, and many other<br />

activities are also offered. Certified lifeguards supervise all<br />

swimming activities. For pool hours and events, call (306)<br />

736-2707 or the Recreation Programmer at (306) 736-8440..<br />

Kipling Arena<br />

Our arena season runs from November to mid–march, with<br />

all levels of minor hockey, three Adult Rec. Hockey teams, a<br />

figure skating club, and a very active curling club. For more<br />

information on tournaments, regular season game<br />

schedules, figure skating, or curling bonspiels, call our<br />

Recreation Programmer Susan Hengen at (306) 736-8440.<br />

Campgrounds<br />

Stay at our modern, fully serviced campground, with 37 sites<br />

(both full service and tenting sites available) located in an<br />

urban park. The sites are centrally located, adjacent to the<br />

heated outdoor swimming pool and the 9-hole grass green<br />

at Kingswood Golf Course. Other recreational facilities and<br />

all commercial and retail services are within a kilometer.<br />

Heritage Walking Tour<br />

Guinness World Record<br />

“Largest Paper Clip”<br />

In 2006, Kipling made national headlines for its trade in the<br />

“One Red Paperclip Story”, and is now home to the famous<br />

house at 503 Main Street and the Guinness World Records<br />

Largest Paperclip. Located in Bell Park on 6th Avenue, the<br />

giant red paperclip stands 15’2” tall, 3’2” wide and weighs a<br />

whopping 3,043 lbs. It was built by Ardel Steel in Regina,<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong>.<br />

503 Main Street<br />

In 2006, Kipling traded a house on Main Street to Kyle<br />

Macdonald (“The Paperclip Guy”), in exchange for a movie<br />

role. Much has happened to Kipling as a result. An<br />

entrepreneurial mother-daughter team opened the “Paperclip<br />

House” as a quaint restaurant now known as the Paperclip<br />

Cottage, which is open to the travelling public. They are<br />

cooking homemade goodness into all of their menu items,<br />

which includes coffees and baked goods. The Cottage is<br />

also the towns information center offering souvenirs of<br />

Kipling and <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>. They also display works by local<br />

artisans..<br />

Downtown Saturday Night<br />

In honor of our town centennial, a mural from days gone by<br />

was painted by Janet Blackstock and Sharon Armstrong to<br />

capture a moment of our past forever. The mural is located<br />

on the side of Balfour’s Drug Store.<br />

Old Bekevar Presbyterian Church<br />

The twin-speared church in Debrecen, Hungary influenced<br />

the style of the Old Bekevar Church. Built largely with<br />

volunteer labour, the cost of construction was $8,000. Today<br />

the century old church has been fully restored. For tours of<br />

the church, contact Garnet Smalley at (306) 224-2006.<br />

Museum<br />

The Kipling and District Historical Society Museum, located<br />

at 4th Street and Centennial, is open from 2-4pm on<br />

weekends during July and August. Development of this<br />

project, which began in the 1970’s, is ongoing. The<br />

Museum’s main building, the restored Pipestone School,<br />

Ovans’ House, and Edenland Church are some of the main<br />

features. You can also visit the blacksmith shop, service<br />

station, dental office and Dalzell Elevator engine, or stop by<br />

the Inchkeith Women’s Institute and Royal Canadian Legion<br />

rooms.<br />

CNR Station<br />

The original Kipling CNR Station with the unique<br />

‘Kashabowie’ design was built in 1908 at a cost of $8,274. In<br />

1993, the station was designated as a Municipal Heritage<br />

Property, and is still being used today.<br />

Shopping<br />

Kipling has a bustling main street that can meet all of your<br />

travel needs. Grocery Stores, Pharmacies, Banks, Hardware<br />

Stores, Service Stations and much more are available to you.<br />
