Why Murals Matter Across Southwest Saskatchewan
“Building Communities Together” — on the north side of the Gull Lake Curling Rink, looking out over Little Green on the Prairie Park. A mural that reflects the work, pride, and cooperation that shape every community across Southwest Saskatchewan. In every Southwest Saskatchewan town, stories are told in unique ways: through museums, landmarks, and the character of main streets at dusk.

The Years Gull Lake Became a Town: 1911–1912
A Short History Story Some years leave only faint traces in history. For Gull Lake, 1911 was nearly one of those years, but change was quietly gathering. The records from that year are sparse: routine business, familiar local names, and just two notable decisions—the first grading of Proton Avenue , then the town’s emerging main thoroughfare, and the purchase of a hose cart.

Two 18‑year‑olds from Waterloo, Ontario, Dennis Bonn and Brian McLennan, were hitchhiking west toward British Columbia. Near Whitewood, a new Mercury Cougar pulled over. The driver introduced himself only as “Knobby,” said he was heading for Calgary, and offered them a ride. He was fri

What Holds a Small Town Together Isn’t Viral Noise—It's Us
A viral video and a wave of outside commentary can travel far faster than the truth, and this week the Lyceum Theatre found itself at the centre of a story that doesn’t reflect who we are or how we treat one another. In that video, the theatre, its volunteers, and several local residents are spoken about in ways that are unfair, inaccurate, and unworthy of the place we call home.
