part of the Weyburn character. Accompanying commerce, shopping and
industry is a family oriented lifestyle. This is evident in our
21 churches, amateur sports, music, art, theatre and cultural
services. We also boast several senior centers and
services.

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.
