If you are in the area you really need to go through this church to see how magnificent it is! Louis is an awesome tour host and told us many neat things about it.

Located just north of the Montana boundary, this vast region is known for its outlaw history and its classic Old West landscape.

The informative interpretation of our outlaws and Lakota traditions by our tour guide Leanne. The scenery was fabulous and who says Saskatchewan is boring? The only thing missing was traveling on horseback like the outlaws. We enjoyed the Coulees and hills so Saskatchewan is not all flat. We traveled back roads gravel and dirt so bring a good vehicle and be prepared to wash afterwards.We only did the short tour but would like to go back and finish the other half.The Grand kids had a blast and learned of the wild west.

Now open to visitors, this was once home to lieutenant-governors of Canada's Northwest Territories.

There is not very many historic buildings in Regina, but Government House is definitely one of them. The building was restored and preserved as it was 1900s. They have afternoon Victorian tea party once a month, which is worth visiting. However you need to register for it in advance.
4. Tunnels of Moose Jaw

The Tunnels is a year-round attraction where guests are entertained with unique theatrical presentations of Canadian history. Beneath the streets you relive Al Capone's bootlegging days on the Chicago Connection and experience first-hand the hardships of early Chinese immigrants on the Passage to Fortune. At the Tunnels we have intrigue and history all rolled into one fabulous time. For an unforgettable experience bring all the family to relive the past at The Tunnels of Moose Jaw.

We had an unexpected visit to Moose Jaw, I had never been to the tunnels so we were lucky to catch the last show of the day. What a great surprise, our two hosts Fanny and Gus, were lots of fun and engaged with all of us. We all enjoyed it from beginning to end and likely urge anyone travelling through to take the time to enjoy!

We arrived in time for the 10am tour. No backpacks are allowed and there is security scanning before proceeding. Our tour guide, a young man that I can’t remember his name, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable. Tour took about 40 minutes and gave a fair bit of history of Canada that I wasn’t up to date with. Magnificent building.

It's not easy to get to Fort Walsh even if you're visiting the somewhat nearby Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. However, the roads are very much passable and the destination well worth the journey. Fort Walsh was the first NWMP fort and was constructed in 1875. The location was important - the nearby hills offered sweeping views of the prairies and it was located along an important supply route which came up from the U.S. It was also the area that the Lakota settled after the Battle of the Little Big Horn. There are very few original structures here but those that do exist have been built with authenticity and include many historic artefacts. It's a bit of a walk down from the visitors' centre (where most of the exhibits are closed due to COVID) and there are some long walking trails which will take you to the site of the Cypress Hills Massacre.

Any student of Canadian history will recognize the name Batoche as the decisive battle of the North-West Rebellion which took place in May 1885. Batcohe was the site of a Metis settlement (all but gone now) perched on a bluff overlooking the South Saskatchewan River. Parks Canada has done an excellent job with the visitors' centre (most of the displays are open and contain a balanced view of the battle and events leading up to it plus plenty of artefacts - you must wear a mask) and some of the restored buildings including the Catholic church. Bring comfortable walking shoes as the distances between the buildings, cemetery and river overlook are somewhat lengthy. Parks Canada does offer a guided tour via shuttle and it runs a few times a day - check for times. There is a secondary site - the East Village - which can be accessed by car along a dirt road. Best to visit last. Give yourself a minimum one hour and ideally two.
