Glen Ewen Saskatchewan Information

Glen Ewen (2016 population: 154) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Enniskillen No. 3 and Census Division No. 1. The village is located on the Canadian Pacific Railway just south of Provincial Highway 18. The towns of Carnduff and Oxbow are nearby. _x000D_ The community was founded March 24, 1905 by a rail worker and Glen Ewen’s first postmaster (Thomas Ewen).

The school closed in November, 1989, and is now the Glen Ewen Communiplex. _x000D_ In 2011, the new Glen Ewen Hotel opened, replacing the old hotel that had burned down in 2007. _x000D_ Glen Ewen incorporated as a village on March 24, 1904. _x000D_ In 1959, the now defunct Glen Ewen Eagles were among the four founding teams of the men’s senior Big 6 Hockey League.
