Seager Wheeler's Maple Grove Farm

Seager Wheeler's Maple Grove Farm is a National Historic Site of Canada. Seager Wheeler's Maple Grove Farm was a farm owned and operated by agronomist Seager Wheeler (1868–1961) "Wheat King of the Prairies" or "The Wheat Wizard of Rosthern" who developed dry land farming techniques as well as fruit and wheat strains which could grow in a short prairie growing season followed by harsh winters. Seager came to Canada in 1885 and applied for his own homestead in 1890. His original homestead was located at NE Section 16 Township 38 Range 4 West of the 3rd Meridian, and he was aided by a loan from the Temperance Colonization Society Limited - Toronto Whereas the nearest present day town of Rosthern, Saskatchewan is located at Sec.35, Twp.42, R.3, W3. To get to the restored Seager Wheeler Maple Grove 185-acre (0.75 km2) Farm travel 7 km east of Rosthern. Five separate entries of wheat which were grown at this farm location during 1911 to 1918 won World Wheat Championships. Morris Bodnar, Member of Parliament for Saskatoon—Dundurn, commemorated Seager Wheeler's Maple Grove Farm as a National Historic Site of Canada on August 3, 1996 The site is honoured as the location where hardy wheat and fruit strains were developed which were well suited to the prairie climate and growing season. History Seager Wheeler developed many dryland farming techniques, invented equipment as well as winning numerous awards for developing wheat strains and fruits which would grow in the short prairie season, seeds which would survive over winter and many other practises which helped develop a sustainable agricultural economy in Saskatchewan. Seager Wheeler's brother, Percy Wheeler, also homesteaded in the area successfully proving his land at SW section 2 Township 43 (A) Range 2 W of the 3rd Meridian in 1884. Seager and Percy jointly developed the three point seed cleaning system which present day farmers still use. The Seager Wheeler Historic Farm Society purchased the farm and opened it up in 1996. The farming techniques, implements, and pursuit of prairie wheats and fruits by Seager Wheeler, are presented on the restored homestead by the Seager Wheeler Historic Farm Society. Sheila Copps, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Canadian Heritage, presented the 1996 Parks Canada Award to the Seager Wheeler Historic Farm Society.

Shand Power Station

Shand Power Station is a coal fired station owned by SaskPower in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, near the city of Estevan. Description The Shand Power Station consists of: one 279 net MW unit (commissioned in 1992) advanced environmental controls through a LIFAC (Limestone Injection into the Furnace and reActivation of Calcium) system The boilers are supplied by Babcock & Wilcox and the turbines/generator are supplied by Hitachi. The site is sized to also support a second unit. A single 148 m (486 ft) smokestack is located at the plant, the tallest freestanding structure in Saskatchewan. SaskPower opened its Carbon Capture Test Facility at Shand in 2015 as a joint venture with partners Mitsubishi and Hitachi to research carbon capture and storage technology that was later implemented at the Boundary Dam Power Station. The Shand test facility has been vacant since 2021. The unit at Shand was slated for retirement by 2030 under federal regulations unless it was converted to natural gas generation or a full scale carbon capture system was installed, which a 2018 feasibility study estimated would cost around $1 billion. But in June 2025, the Saskatchewan government announced plans to refurbish its coal power plants, including Shand, to extend their lifespans to 2050. Shand Greenhouses Shand Greenhouse was built in 1991 near the power station and is part of an initiative to offset the environmental impact of burning coal. The greenhouse grows and distribute seedlings free of charge to schools, communities and individuals for conservation and wildlife habitat projects. The species of trees that are grown and given to the communities include: buffaloberry, bur oak, choke cherry, Colorado blue spruce, eastern red cedar, green ash, jack pine, lodgepole pine, Manitoba maple, pin cherry, plains cottonwood, red alder, red-osier dogwood, Saskatoon berry, Scots pine, sea-buckthorn, shrub willow, Siberian crab, Siberian larch, trembling aspen or white poplar, villosa lilac, western sandcherry, white birch or paper birch, willow, and Woods' rose. SaskPower began a major renovation project at the greenhouse in 2026, with no new seedlings planted during the construction work. Plans are in place to resume seedling distribution in March 2028.

Primera Nació Sturgeon Lake

Sturgeon Lake — en cree: ᓇᒦᐏ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᓂᕽ, namîwi-sâkahikanihk, Sturgeon Lake First Nation (anglès) — és un govern de banda de la primera nació cree a Saskatchewan, Canadà. La seva ubicació és a la riba est del Sturgeon Lake, a uns 30 km al nord-oest de Prince Albert. El territori de la Primera Nació consta d'una reserva, Sturgeon Lake 101. Està situada a la zona de transició entre els biomes d'aspen parkland i el bosc boreal. La reserva limita amb els municipis rurals de Shellbrook núm. 493 i Buckland núm. 491, així com amb Little Red River 106C. La Primera Nació Sturgeon Lake governa cinc reserves: Sturgeon Lake 101 Sturgeon Lake 101A Sturgeon Lake 101B Sturgeon Lake 101C Sturgeon Lake 101D Història El 23 d'agost de 1876 el cap Ah-yah-tus-kum-ik-im-am (cap William Twatt) amb altres quatre caps ratificaren el Tractat Sis a Fort Carlton i triaren la seva reserva. La primera nació és culturalment sobretot cree, però també té alguns membres saulteaux. En un principi era era anomenada Banda William Twatt pel cognom provinent de les Òrcades del cap del tractat, que era el net de Magnus Twatt, que va venir de les Òrcades (davant la costa nord escocesa) el 1771 per treballar per a la Companyia de la Badia de Hudson, però va canviar el seu nom el 1963 a Banda Sturgeon Lake i, més tard, a Primera Nació Sturgeon Lake. La resolució del 2001 d'un greuge entre la banda i el govern federal sobre la pèrdua d'ingressos de la fusta que es remuntava al 1906 permeté a la comunitat ampliar les seves oportunitats econòmiques. Infraestructures La comunitat gestiona directament diverses infraestructures com ara una oficina de la banda, una escola, un gimnàs, una caserna de bombers, una sala de la banda, una clínica de salut comunitària i una caseta de curació . Avui dia 1.578 dels 2.188 membres de la banda viuen a la seva reserva de 9.209,5 ha. Referències
Sturgeon Lake First Nation

The Sturgeon Lake First Nation (Cree: ᓇᒦᐏ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᓂᕽ, namîwi-sâkahikanihk) is a Cree First Nation band government in Saskatchewan, Canada. Its location is on the eastern shore of Sturgeon Lake about 30 km northwest of Prince Albert. The First Nation's territory consists of one reserve, Sturgeon Lake 101. It is located in the transition zone between the aspen parkland and boreal forest biomes. The reserve borders the Rural Municipalities of Shellbrook No. 493 and Buckland No. 491, as well as the Little Red River 106C. History On August 23, 1876, Chief Ah-yah-tus-kum-ik-im-am (Chief William Twatt) and four headmen signed Treaty Six at Fort Carlton and selected their reserve. The First Nation is today predominantly Cree culturally but also has some Saulteaux members. [1] It was originally known as the William Twatt Band after the Orcadian surname of the Treaty Chief, who was the Grandson of Magnus Twatt who came from Orkney (off the North coast of Scotland) in 1771 to work for the Hudson's Bay Company, but changed its name in 1963 to the Sturgeon Lake Band, and later to the Sturgeon Lake First Nation. [2] The 2001 settling of a grievance between the band and the federal government concerning a loss of timber revenue that dated back to 1906 has enabled the community to expand its economic opportunities. Reserves Sturgeon Lake First Nation has reserved for themselves five reserves: Sturgeon Lake 101 Sturgeon Lake 101A Sturgeon Lake 101B Sturgeon Lake 101C Sturgeon Lake 101D Infrastructure The community's infrastructure includes a band office, school, gymnasium, fire hall, band hall, community health clinic, and a healing lodge. Currently 1,578 of the 2,188 band members live on their 9,209.5-ha reserve. [3] People from Sturgeon Lake First Nation Belinda Daniels, language teacher References
TCU Place

TCU Place, formerly known as the Saskatoon Centennial Auditorium, is a 104,000-square-foot (9,700 m2) convention and arts centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Situated in the Central Business District it is located next to Midtown Plaza. The Saskatoon Centennial Auditorium was opened April 1, 1968, and was designed by Kerr Cullingworth Riches Associates. Its first performance was a performance of Orff's Carmina Burana by the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra. It was named in honour of Canada's recently completed centennial celebrations. It was part of a major redevelopment of Saskatoon's downtown following the closure of its CNR station; the project also saw the construction of the Midtown Plaza mall. In 2006 the centre underwent major renovation with funding from TCU Financial Group, giving it naming rights for 10 years as TCU Place Arts & Convention Centre. In 2013, TCU renewed the naming rights until 2026. The Sid Buckwold Theatre, located within TCU Place is a 2,003 seat performing arts theatre. The theatre is home to the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra and aside from hosting major arts performances and conventions, the venue alternates with Regina's Conexus Arts Centre as host of the Telemiracle telethons. Future A 2018 study recommended the construction of a new arena and convention centre in the downtown area to replace TCU Place and SaskTel Centre. Both venues were stated to be "quickly approaching their end-of-useful life" and not meeting standards in comparison to venues in equivalent markets, with TCU Place in particular "[falling] behind current industry standards for flexible/adaptable spaces, acoustics, exhibit spaces, kitchen service, and typical convention requirements".

Lawson Heights Mall

Lawson Heights Mall (formerly branded The Mall at Lawson Heights) is a shopping centre located at the junction of Warman Road and Primrose Drive in north Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the Lawson Heights Suburban Centre neighbourhood. It is currently anchored by Canada Safeway and London Drugs, and has almost 100 shops and services. A third anchor bay housed a Zellers department store from the mall's opening until October 2012; it was later replaced by a Target store until the Canadian Target chain closed in 2015. The mall opened in October 1980 during a period of rapid growth in the city's north end subdivisions. On opening it covered 23,225 square metres and had the first enclosed food court in Saskatoon, along with many independent and franchise chains (including the city's first purpose-built mall video arcade) and was promoted as one of the province's largest suburban malls; it also boasted the largest Safeway store in Saskatchewan. Future plans for the mall at the time were for a second department store to join Zellers in a future phase, but ultimately Zellers (later Target) remained the only department store in the mall. The mall underwent a major expansion in 1990 that nearly doubled its footprint, though in lieu of a new anchor tenant, a new food court was built. A further expansion in 2002 added London Drugs as the mall's third anchor. In September 2011 it was reported that Target Canada, as part of its takeover of the Zellers chain, had purchased the leasehold for the Lawson Heights location with the possibility of it being converted to a Target store in the future. This was later confirmed and the Zellers location closed in October 2012 to permit an expansion of the location to the west and south to accommodate the larger Target store. The Target store opened in the summer of 2013, but closed in early April 2015, leaving the mall's third anchor location vacant until the Safeway store relocated to the old Target location in 2018. Motion Fitness now occupies Safeway's original location.
