The scenic community of Weyburn is located at the junction of highways 13, 35 and 39 in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan.  The city is just 75 km (46 miles) north of  the American border at Fortuna and only 115 km (72 miles) southeast of Regina. Our rich prairie soil has produced a substantial share of western Canada's exportable wheat making Weyburn the country's highest volume inland grain handling center.  From this foundation a major farm service and supply center has grown. As one of the largest Saskatchewan cities near the Williston Basin's vast oil deposits, Weyburn has become an oilfield service center.  More than 600 wells operate in the immediate area.
