Gull Lake had plenty to cheer about this past weekend as hometown forward Jamie Kirwan delivered a standout performance at the Telus Cup Western Regional in Regina. Held April 2–5, the tournament featured top U18 AAA teams from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.

A warm slice of early Main Street life Long before Main Street took its modern shape, Gull Lake had a little bakery that left a lasting mark on the town’s early years. Shilling’s Bakery — located on the south side of Main Street, midway between Proton Avenue and Rutland Avenue — entered a new chapter in October 1910, when it changed ownership and was soon rebuilt after a fire just six weeks later.

In the Southwest, communities are always on the lookout for ways to grow and support one another. Good ideas travel fast here. They move from rink to rink, council table to council table, and along every gravel road that connects our towns. When one community tries something new, others take notice—not out of competition, but out of genuine regional pride and a desire to see everyone succeed.

How Gull Lake Built a Town with a Well, 200 Trees, and a Lucky Census: 1910 If you could walk down Conrad Street in 1910, you wouldn’t see the sidewalks or hydrants we know today. You’d see a young prairie settlement still finding its footing — muddy streets, scattered buildings, and a council learning, meeting by meeting, how to turn a cluster of shacks into a community. But 1910 was the year something shifted. It was the year Gull Lake began to act like a town long before i
