Have you noticed something different about this popular landmark building..?? The Warden's Residence got a facelift with a return to its original paint colours!! Be sure to take a look and see this beauty in person! Photo credit: Cindy Leclair

Remember when we did this little project opening last year? The weather is great and our platform is big enough for you to physically distance while you learn about the history of Fort Sask. Be sure to check it out. Located in the Fort Historical Precinct next to the Peter T. Ream park.

Great guy, and good work

Some great information to check out!
