Colonsay /kəˈlɒnziː/ is a town in the rural municipality of Colonsay No. 342, Saskatchewan, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Colonsay is located on Highway 16 (the Yellowhead Highway part of the Trans-Canada Highway) running east-west in central Saskatchewan near the intersection with Highway 2.
Colonsay derived its name from the Inner Hebrides Scottish island of Colonsay [5] All the streets in the village are also named after islands located along the west coast of Scotland.
Colonsay experienced a record setting 167-day-long frost-free period in 1978, which was, to the dismay of a number of residents, still not a long enough growing season for yams or sweet potatoes .[
