Pinehouse

'at pine house') is a northern village located in the boreal forest of Saskatchewan on the western shore of Pinehouse Lake within the Canadian Shield.

Some survivors moved up the Churchill River towards Patuanak and downriver to Stanley Mission further depleting the area population.

[12] The 1906 Canada Census uses the name Serpent Lake on the Churchill[10] to describe the community that then had about 11 people which included the family of Samuel and Veronique Misponass.

A townsite was established in the 1940s and a Roman Catholic church (St. Dominic) was built in 1944 followed by a store and in 1948 a school.

Eighty houses were built between 1967 and 1980 and Pinehouse was connected to the power grid in 1984 replacing a diesel generator set up around 1970.

[14] Pinehouse is home to a store, a gas station, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police detachment, the northern village's office and a health clinic.
