Lake Saskatoon, Alberta

Lake Saskatoon is a locality in northwest Alberta, Canada, within the county of Grande Prairie No.

[1] The southwest shore of Lake Saskatoon was a natural meeting place as it had plenty of water, grass, an abundance of wild berries and sheltering poplars.

[2] The area chosen for the community was the south half of the northwest quarter of section 2, township 72, range 8, west of the sixth meridian.

At one point, Lake Saskatoon had a number of businesses including a Bank of Commerce, a trading post, a flour mill, a blacksmith shop, a hardware store, a pool hall and a telegraph office.

[2][3] In 1924, when it became certain that the railway would not link the community, shops and offices were moved to a new site, namely Wembley.
