Welcome

We are a progressive municipality which serves a population of 1,351 people (2021 census) and includes 27 townships with a strong agricultural base. Our boundaries begin approximately 50 km northwest of the City of Prince Albert. The Rural Municipality of Canwood No. 494 was initially incorporated as The Rural Municipality of Thompson in 1913. The name was changed from Thompson to Canwood on May 1, 1916.

We border the Prince Albert National Park and are surrounded by many beautiful lakes. The Canwood Provincial Forest is in the southeast of the municipality, and the Big River Forest is in the northwest part of the municipality.

First Responders Bonspiel.

If you’re a first responder (Police/Fire/Ambulance/ER Nurse/ER Doctor/Batman), you’re invited to participate in the Debden Curling Club’s First Responders Bonspiel

Friday, November 21 – 7-9pm
Saturday, November 22 – 10-4pm

We’re looking for teams of 4. We’ll be putting together the tournament play order once we have the teams. Teams of 4 would be great, but if you have an odd number, we’ll help round out the team. I believe the games will only be 4 ends so the curling skill required will be novice or “never played before”.

Every curler will be sponsored for their play and everyone who plays will receive a coupon for lunch on Saturday. Our lounge will also be open for the event and we’ll be encouraging the locals to come out and cheer!

This is your opportunity to kick some butt of your fellow heroes (cops/fire/emergency).
