All dog owners should have, under bylaw, a license for their pet. For a one-time fee of $3 per tag, these licenses provide benefits in the form of identification of both pet and owner in case loss.

Any concern over stray or aggressive dogs is up to the individual to report to the dog catcher. All dog bites that scratch or penetrate the skin should be treated at the hospital and reported to the R.C.M.P. More information on dogs as well as licenses are available at the village office.


Sewage gathered by your contract hauler is deposited in a lagoon, where a treatment process is initiated to render the liquid safe.

PARCS is short for Provincial Association of Resort Communities of Saskatchewan.

This Association is comprised of an Executive and two Directors from each of the 5 regions the province is divided into.

The mandate of PARCS is to work for the betterment of Resort Villages. It is a melting pot to exchange ideas, seek solutions to common problems and lobby the Government for changes beneficial to all.

As Government rules & regulations are constantly changing PARCS is playing a more prominent role in determining the future of Resort Villages. Our Village is actively involved in PARCS.
