Gravelbourg has been dubbed the ‘Cultural Gem of Saskatchewan’. Thanks to its remarkable bilingual heritage, regal architecture and rich culture, Gravelbourg is A Touch of Europe on the Prairies.
It is here you will find culture and closeness of community, and an easy, human quality of life. Gravelbourg is a place where everyone can be a citizen.
Community strengths include well-maintained municipal infrastructure with community parks and green space. There is an ongoing commitment to enhance ecological and environmental initiatives at local and regional levels.
Heritage homes predominate in the community and our new sub division provides an unobstructed view of the Saskatchewan prairie.
The community's "Keep Gravelbourg Beautiful" and "Touch of Europe" committees are busy with projects to enhance the entire community with new parks, floral landscapes, street and building improvements.
Today's Gravelbourg is a focal point for the surrounding prairie region. The town is an important regional service center, home to an integrated business sector including a weekly newspaper, community radio and over 100 businesses spanning the retail, manufacturing and service sectors. The community retains a health, education and spirituality orientation with a regional hospital, three physicians and several complementary health practitioners.
Gravelbourg has an abundance of educational institutions to serve the needs of the community and surrounding area.
The major employers in the area are Fike Corportation and City of Blue Springs. We are heavey with an industrial based economy with huge opportunites in other industries as well.
