Population: 49 (2006 Census) - With a town name like Findlater, why not find it now instead of later?! A small camouflaged container.
There is an interesting brick building across the road to the east. This was the old Findlater one-room schoolhouse. Thanks to Houlagans for clearing up this mystery!
The one room school house of the late 1800s of the NWT and early 1900s provided education to a burgeoning population. Before the advent of large administrative units in the middle 1900s, Saskatchewan had small school districts every 4-6 miles apart. Most districts consisted of a single 'One Room School.' The Dominion Government made provisions that Sections 11 and 29 of each township were school sections. In an era when transportation was via walking or horse and no roads, travel was difficult. When hauling grain to elevators with horse and wagon, approximately seven miles was considered to be a convenient distance.
Good Luck!
