"This little CN train station built in 1917 helped connect Kuroki to the larger communities of Wadena, Invermay and the rest of Saskatchewan and Canada at a time when road travel was difficult, but many new Canadians were moving to this area to call it home. It continued to serve this purpose of community gathering place and the main way to receive and send goods until the mid-1960s when passenger and freight service were discontinued.

We have had the building declared by the province as a heritage structure and formed a non-profit group of community members to bring it back to life." 

"By supporting individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities in living meaningful lives centered around community, wellness, and health, this organization helps foster inclusion, strengthen local connections, and contribute to Wadena’s economy by ensuring that money earned stays within the community."

"We are a volunteer-led, non-profit organization committed to protecting the environment, the health and providing means for safe and responsible snowmobiling within and around our communities of Endeavour, Preeceville, Ketchen, Sturgis, and Reserve.

"The Sturgis Arena Board is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and affordable space for recreation and community gatherings, and is currently raising funds to replace the worn and unsafe ice surface boards and glass—an upgrade that will enhance safety, extend the life of this vital facility, and continue supporting wellness, health, and connection across Sturgis and the wider Crossroads Country."
