Citizens of Wynyard – Have a Say In the Future Planning of Your Community
The Town of Wynyard’s Official Community Plan
The plan will guide growth and change over the next 20 years in alignment with the Town’s Vision to be “a sustainable, diverse and vibrant community that is an economic and social hub for the region and provides a high quality of life for everyone.”
What is an official community plan?
Under provincial legislation, every community in Saskatchewan must have its own official community plan. This long-range plan provides direction about how the community will grow physically; how it will accommodate population growth; how it will manage issues such as the provision of municipal services and environmental impact; and even how it can enhance its social and cultural development.
A new plan for Wynyard
It’s time to develop a new plan that provides guidance to decisions relating to growth and development in the community. This is vital to ensure the Town can offer the highest quality of life to its current and future residents, ensure opportunity for businesses to locate and grow, promote opportunities to learn and play in the community and facilitate sustainable growth and development.

Wynyard happens to be located on a major migratory bird path and as a result has become a bird-watcher’s Mecca and a hunter’s paradise. Various types of geese, ducks, swans, cranes, and other migratory birds use the Quill Lakes as a major stopping point both on their way to the summer breeding grounds or from their way to winter feeding areas. For the bird-watching enthusiast, the endangered Piping Plover uses the Quill Lakes as one of only two nesting grounds in Saskatchewan.
Wynyard is also home to a vibrant retail and home based business sector. There are over 100 retail, service, and home based businesses located within the borders of the community. When you take into account all the business located in the surrounding areas, there is very little that you cannot find in Wynyard.
