RM of Canwood’s story

The Rural Municipality of Canwood No. 494 was first incorporated on January 1, 1913, under the name RM of Thompson No. 494. On April 29, 1916, the name was changed to the RM of Canwood No. 494, which it has carried ever since.

The RM lies in north-central Saskatchewan, west of Prince Albert, and surrounds the town of Canwood and the village of Debden. Other communities within its boundaries include Hawkeye, Mont Nebo, Ordale, Pebble Baye, Stump Lake, Victoire and Wrixen. It also surrounds the Ahtahkakoop and Mistawasis Indian reserves, in whole or in part. Today the Carlton Trail Railway, a shortline of the Canadian National Railway, serves the area.

One of its best-known spots is Canwood Regional Park, in a forest of jack pines about 5 kilometres east of the village of Canwood. Development began in 1959, and it became a regional park in 1961. It now has a nine-hole golf course, a campground, a picnic area, ball diamonds and hiking trails.
