Archerwill

Archerwill (2021 population: 153) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Barrier Valley No.

The community is named, in a syllabic abbreviation, after the secretary-treasurer and two councilors of the executive governing council of the RM of Barrier Valley in 1924.

The Archerwill Café (probably built in the late 1920s),[8] most recently operating as Diner Thirty Five, burned down in a fire on June 23, 2016.

The actions of the Archerwill Volunteer Fire Department, along with the Rose Valley Volunteer Fire Department — who arrived from 17 kilometres (11 mi) away — saved the adjacent Archerwill Hotel and the post office.

[12] Archerwill has a post office,[8][13] an indoor ice skating rink with attached curling sheets,[14] a community hall[14] with an attached small public library, and a "Senior Citizens' Centre" social hall.
