St. Laurent de Grandin

St. Laurent de Grandin is an area of Métis settlement along the South Saskatchewan River.

It is just east of Duck Lake, and at present is the site of the St. Laurent Ferry, as well as the Roman Catholic Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes.

[1] The shrine is a popular destination for Catholics in central Saskatchewan, and was historically associated with the Métis and Cree people of the area.

St. Laurent's picturesque scenery continues to attract tourists to the shrine along the Louis Riel Trail today.

St. Laurent, the oldest, was originally the wintering home of Métis buffalo hunters (hivernants).
