Gravelbourg
Gravelbourg was founded in 1906 as a francophone town which is now multicultural. It is located just west of the Wood River. The region served as a path for First Nations peoples many years ago, and was integrated into the Redcoat Trail.
The town is well known for College Mathieu, a francophone boarding school for boys and girls. The school has attracted students from throughout the southern part of the province as well as other areas of Canada and overseas. Great Plains College operates a satellite campus in Gravelbourg.
The town was for many years the cathedral city of the Roman Catholic diocese of Gravelbourg and there was a francophone bishop in residence. As of 1998 the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption has been designated a "co-cathedral" of the archdiocese of Regina.
Gravelbourg is very rich in culture and proudly showcases this with their “Touch of Europe” theme.
