About Fort Qu'Appelle
Fort Qu'Appelle was established as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post in 1852, and developed into a service centre for area settlers.

Fort Qu'Appelle maintains cross country ski trails and a snowmobile trail system. Opportunities for ice fishing are also available. The current site is the third Fort Qu'Appelle.
