Punnichy

Punnichy /ˈpʌnɪtʃaɪ/ (2016 population: 213) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Mount Hope No.

Punnichy derived its name from panacay, "fledgling bird with few feathers", a Saulteaux joke referring to the appearance of a pioneer merchant.

Punnichy is along Highway 15 in the heart of the Touchwood Hills between Quinton and Lestock.

It is surrounded by four First Nation reserves: Muskowekwan, Kawacatoose, Daystar and Gordon.

The facility assists First Nations students to return to school or pick up extra classes to move into post-secondary or job training.
