The Long Fight to Build Highway 37 (1924–1937)
If you’ve ever driven Highway 37 north toward Cabri or south toward the border, you’re travelling a road that didn’t just “happen.” It was fought for—repeatedly—by a town that understood how vital good roads were to the survival of rural Saskatchewan. The campaign began as early as 1924, when the Gull Lake council formally petitioned the provincial government to build a proper highway north from town. At the time, roads were little more than rutted trails, often impassable in

The Youngberg Block today — a cornerstone of Main Street and the focus of Gull Lake’s heritage renewal efforts. A new wave of prairie revitalization is emerging in Southwest Saskatchewan—rooted in history and powered by community.

Wells, Wallets, and the Workings of a Town
Teaser Line Some weeks, Coffee Row’s news reads like a ledger—numbers on one side, roots (and stories) on the other. The Hook—News Lands Before It’s Official A warm gust of early spring air drifted in as Mabel topped up the cups—the kind that carries a hint of thaw and a bit of Main Street dust. She slid a fresh pot onto the table just as Edna tapped her For Posterity notebook. “$293,660,” she announced, tapping the page. “That’s our revenue‑sharing check—up 8.6 percent from

🏆 February Showdown Verdict: Pig Spleen vs. Supercomputer
Running Score: Pig Spleen 2—Weather Supercomputer 1 A frost‑covered prairie under a restless sky. On one side, a digital thermometer climbing into record territory. On the other, a humble pig spleen sitting beside a parka and a raincoat—because this is Saskatchewan, and we prepare for everything. After a February that felt like three seasons in 28 days, it’s time to settle Round Two of our winter weather showdown. We saw record‑breaking warmth, a polar vortex, and wind gusts

How Two Hitchhikers and a Gull Lake Constable Averted Highway Tragedy
On a cool Friday evening in September 1968—a Friday the 13th, no less—a routine patrol on Highway 1 turned into one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Gull Lake RCMP detachment. Two 18‑year‑olds from Waterloo, Ontario, Dennis Bonn and Brian McLennan, were hitchhiking west toward British Columbia. Near Whitewood, a new Mercury Cougar pulled over. The driver introduced himself only as “Knobby,” said he was heading for Calgary, and offered them a ride. He was fri

What Holds a Small Town Together Isn’t Viral Noise—It's Us
A viral video and a wave of outside commentary can travel far faster than the truth, and this week the Lyceum Theatre found itself at the centre of a story that doesn’t reflect who we are or how we treat one another. In that video, the theatre, its volunteers, and several local residents are spoken about in ways that are unfair, inaccurate, and unworthy of the place we call home. Gull Lake isn’t perfect—no community is—but we are not a town where people are reduced to insults
