When you walk the streets of Wolseley, Saskatchewan, you will immediately sense the joy and pride that its 850 citizens feel every day. Pleasant homes are surrounded by well-tended yards and charming plots and pots of flowers, as well as thriving gardens. Our public spaces boast award-winning floral beds tended by local volunteers. Our downtown businesses have recently subscribed to an initiative that resulted in a wholesale facelift of Wolseley’s pioneer-era buildings.

Agriculture is, of course, the backbone of Wolseley’s economic life, but service and retail businesses also thrive. A lively arts group supports a gallery, and dance, music and drama performances are presented at the historic Town Hall/Opera House each year.

Wolseley’s vintage architecture has always been as source of pleasure for locals and visitors alike. Two buildings, the Town Hall/Opera House and the territorial Courthouse, have been designated as Provincial Heritage sites. The Town’s devotion to its varied and fascinating history is evident in its promotion of a local archive, historical projects and guided tours.

Sports and recreation facilities abound in our Town. Take a walk on our Swinging Bridge that spans scenic Fairly Lake at the Town’s center. Our sand green Golf Course hosts several tournaments, including a fun “night golf” event. A spring soccer program keeps youngsters busy, while winter sports enthusiasts can join the active curling club or enjoy hockey as a participant or spectator from the smallest tots to our popular junior Wolseley Mustangs or our recreational team.

Wolseley has become known as a hidden gem on the Canadian Prairies, and its citizens have taken it upon themselves to not only make it a wonderful place to live, but a vibrant destination for visitors.
