Zelma Saskatchewan Information

Zelma (2016 population: 35) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Morris No. 312 and Census Division No. 11. The village is located along Saskatchewan Highway 763. _x000D_ Zelma incorporated as a village on August 10, 1910. _x000D_ The Zelma Church was built in 1909 with a load of lumber for $500 and volunteer labour. Initially a Presbyterian Church, it was reorganised in 1917 as the Zelma United Church. _x000D_ Until 1912, students were required to attend school in the neighbouring communities of Stonemount or Golden Wheat due to reluctance of many of the farmers (who were bachelors) in the area to vote in favour of spending tax money on a school. In 1912 the school district was established, originally using the church for classes until a one-room school house was constructed in 1925. The school closed in 1969, with students bussed to Young. _x000D_ During the early years following the establishment of Zelma, the village had a thriving business community with a general store, lumber yards, a hotel, bakery, flour mill, and grain elevators; most of these business had disappeared by the end of the 1940s. _x000D_ In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Zelma had a population of 28 living in 10 of its 12 total private dwellings, a change of -20% from its 2016 population of 35.
