"Town of
Craik"
Town of Craik
Craik is a vibrant, progressive and friendly “small town” community located in the heart of the prairie grain belt in south central Saskatchewan. It was agriculture that brought settlers to the area in the early 1900’s and Craik was incorporated as a town on August 1,1907, well over 100 years ago!
Agriculture remains the driving force to
the town’s economy but other
industries are contributing as well to
maintain a strong economic base.
Over the past 10 years Craik has grown in
population after many years of declining numbers making it an exciting
place to live, work and raise a family. In 2010 alone there were 5 new
housing starts, a sign that the economy is moving forward and more
people are making Craik their home!
The Craik and District Eco-Centre has
brought great interest and notoriety to the community from all around
the world. It utilizes the newest and most innovative principle of
ecology and sustainability to lessen the “footprint” we have on our
environment. With a beautiful 9 hole golf course located on the property
and the Craik Regional Park nearby, it’s become a wonderful place to
spend some some quality time with friends and family.
An hours drive from Regina or an hour and
a half from Saskatoon along Highway 11 will find you in Craik, SK. Stop
in and enjoy our local hospitality. We’d love to have you!

Tree Chipping
The Town of Craik offers a tree branch

program generally runs through the summer months starting around May 1st
and ending around September 30th, depending on the weather each year.
For the most part chipping will be done
each week on Tuesday, but some exceptions may occur over the summer.
Please be patient, there is usually a long list of people waiting!
Things to remember about our town

the chipper.
