Gull Lake Ambulance — From Station Wagons to Modern EMS
Before Gull Lake had a formal ambulance service, emergencies were handled by neighbours using trucks and station wagons. When time allowed, Swift Current’s ambulance made the trip west. That changed in 1975, when the Town of Gull Lake purchased its first dedicated ambulance — a used 1968 Dodge station wagon with a raised roof, bought from the Swift Current Union Hospital. Volunteers stepped forward as drivers and attendants, forming the backbone of a true community‑run servic

Some things stand because people refuse to let them fall.
The Round Table was louder than usual—the kind of morning where the coffee hadn’t even settled and already three stories were competing for space.

With its community hall, rink, post office, school, and library, the village continues to hold its place on the map. Much of this is made possible by the volunteers who support local clubs, facilities, and community programs. Tompkins School is a central part of community life. As a Kin

How Gull Lake’s Hospital Endured the Hardest Years of the 1930s
When Gull Lake’s new hospital opened on August 13, 1930, it stepped into a decade marked by uncertainty. The board had appointed the staff earlier that summer, and the opening team included Mrs. Kathy Bushell, Margaret Maloney, and Miss Rogers. With the building ready and a full staff in place, the hospital quickly became part of the community’s daily life. The years that followed were lean ones. Budgets tightened, and wages were reduced more than once as the Depression wore
