Due to the proximity between these two communities, there is a high level of cross-border service sharing.

Due to the small population of Creighton, the Government of Saskatchewan permits its residents in Creighton, Denare Beach, Sandy Bay, and Pelican Narrows to use the basic and emergency medical services of Flin Flon.

The nearest Saskatchewan medical centre is in Prince Albert, 400 kilometers southwest of Creighton.

In addition, though not legally exempted, Creighton and neighbouring Denare Beach informally observe Daylight saving time despite Saskatchewan's prohibition on its official use, thus keeping in sync with the community that is its primary public service resource.

Flin Flon's radio and TV outlets are available in Creighton.
