Preeceville's 100th Birthday

Check out our Facebook page for new photo's

Preeceville is a town I am proud to call home. It is  an excellent place to raise a family, retire or own a vacation cottage. The town has a number of fun events each year and with the abundance of lakes, rivers, parks and outdoor adventure in the area it's a great family attraction. Whether you're here on business or visiting friends and family, check out our Main Street and our many events over the summer. Preeceville is a small but progressive community with a strong volunteer base, generous friendly people and a strong business and service core. Working with our neighboring communities we hold a number of events each year showcasing our hospitality while raising funds for our health care facility. Our funding campaign has met with huge success in the past 12 years and with our hospital building project now finished, I invite you to take part in the fun, attend, donate or support our efforts. Our other focus as a community is recreation and activities for our youth. How we provide for our seniors and how we teach our youth, balanced with quality of life for the rest of our population, is what Preeceville and area is all about. We are proud to be a community in Saskatchewan.

This summer join us in Preeceville for our 100th Birthday, July 6th and 7th.

It’s about the visiting

A warm welcome to everyone from the town of Preeceville and the Preeceville Centennial Committee. We hope you have an enjoyable weekend. Let’s create happy memories and surround ourselves with laughter and friendship-reacquainting with old friends and making new friends.
It’s all about the visiting. Take a wander or a drive around the town-say hello to the friendly people. See the info about the past of Preeceville and see what Preeceville is today. We think there is no better place to live.
Have fun and thank-you for coming and joining us as we celebrate this special occasion.

     "Happy Birthday Preeceville"

Ten new story boards have been installed by the town works department. Check them out in person or visit our facebook page for photo's. Residents are also being requested to raise and fly a Saskatchewan flag if you own one this summer. Benches and bird houses are a theme which we hope residents will use. The benches are reminiscent of front porches inviting friends, family and guests. Welcome signage of any kind will make our guests feel at home. Bird houses reflect our community's love of nature. If you or you know of someone that is 90+, please contact one of the birthday committee members or phone us for reserved seating at 547-2295.
