Wolseley Saskatchewan Information

Wolseley (Canada 2011 Census population 864) is a town in southeast Saskatchewan, Canada, approximately 100 km east of Regina on the Trans-Canada Highway. _x000D_ Wolseley’s Provincial Court House building was constructed in 1893, and is the oldest surviving court house building in the province. The Town Hall and Opera House, built in 1906, is a classic building and is used for many community events. Canada’s first Beaver Lumber was opened in Wolseley by co-founder E. A. Banbury in 1883. Beaver Lumber is now protected by Heritage status. The Banbury House Inn, which was originally built in 1905 as the private home for E. A. Banbury, was moved from its original location on the north bank of Fairly Lake to the west end of Wolseley to allow expansion of Lakeside Care Home in the 1980s. The Banbury House Inn now serves as a bed and breakfast. _x000D_ Two private residences are also on the Canadian List of Historic Places. The Perley Residence, located at 206 Front Street, is a two-storey brick house which was the home of several prominent Wolseley residents, including the first miller in town, as well as A. A. Perley. _x000D_ The home of Wolseley’s first mayor, R. A. Magee, is another heritage property. It remains a private residence, and is situated immediately south of the Town Hall and Opera House. _x000D_ It has two schools, Dr. Isman Elementary School and Wolseley High School. The recently rebuilt “swinging bridge”, has been a feature of Wolseley since 1905. It has a twelve-bed hospital, an eighty-bed nursing home, and two resident doctors. _x000D_ The town is served by three weekly newspapers: The Wolseley Bulletin, The Indian Head-Wolseley News and The Grenfell Sun. A tourist information radio station, CISE-FM, is based out of Wolseley. _x000D_ Wolseley has a modern artificial ice arena, a curling rink, a nine-hole golf course, and a public swimming beach which is located on the shore of Fairly Lake, the town’s most distinguishing feature. This body of water was formed when the Canadian Pacific Railway dammed a creek in order to obtain a water supply for its steam engines. The town was named one of Canada’s prettiest, most historic towns by Harrowsmith Country Life in 2000. _x000D_ Wolseley is home to a thriving arts community and in the downtown area there is an art gallery which is the meeting place of the Wolseley Writers Group, the Wolseley Photography Club, and the Ellisboro Artisans Guild. The Twilite Drive-In Theater in Wolseley is one of the few left in Saskatchewan. The others include the Jubilee Drive-In Theatre in Manitou Beach, the Clearwater Drive-In in Kyle, the Moonlight Movies Drive-in in Pilot Butte, and the Prairie Dog Drive-in Theatre in Carlyle. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Wolseley had a population of 852 living in 360 of its 392 total private dwellings, a change of -0.2% from its 2016 population of 854.
