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

The People Who Keep This Town Going
Coffee Row was buzzing that morning—the usual gathering spot where news travels faster than the percolator—and today the talk had turned to the people who keep Gull Lake running: the volunteers. Edna finally broke the ice, flipping open her For Posterity notebook. “I’ve been tallying things up,” she said. “Do you know how many volunteer hours this town puts in every year?” Earl leaned back in his chair, already grinning. “Enough to qualify us for the Olympics?” “Enough,” Edna

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

🏆 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
