onecrazycanadian: Hi,

This cache has been missing or in need of maintenance for an extended period of time. Due to the lack of response toward the needed maintenance since my last contact, I am archiving the cache. If you do happen to complete the maintenance required and wish to activate the cache again just let me know and I will consider unarchiving it once the issue is resolved.

Thanks!

Congrats to 3PollyC for FTF!

The Town of Watrous is 110 km southeast of Saskatoon and 175 km northwest of Regina and is in the center of the Canadian grainbelt. Well-known for the healing waters of Lake Manitou, for CBK Radio, and for Camp Easter Seal, it's also known as a center for agricultural implements and automotive dealerships. Watrous is a thriving economic center based upon agriculture, tourism, mining, and industry. The Town of Watrous has a population of 1,808. The Town of Watrous is an administrative center for a number of various government departments. These include: Federal Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Association Office amd the Head Office of the Saskatchewan Water Corporation. Three potash mines located near Watrous are also major employers of residents. The Town came into being in 1906, when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was established a divisional point at the town site. The community was named after Frank Watrous Morse. Watrous was incorporated as a village in 1908 and as a town in 1909. The people soon realized the medicinal properties of Manitou Lake, and today, thousands of people visit Watrous and Manitou Beach to test the mysterious waters of Little Manitou Lake.
