Our Story
Located along highway #3, between Prince Albert and Melfort, Birch Hills is nestled in one of the finest regions in North Central Saskatchewan. It offers a stable economy and combines the amenities of rural life with the conveniences of urban nearness. The proximity of Birch Hills to larger centres provides for a variety of recreational, entertainment and cultural activities. The community takes its name from the Hills in the area, which were once heavily treed with birch trees that were used in manufacturing birch bark canoes during the fur trade era of the 18th century. For well over 200 years the hills to the south of the townsite were called the birch hills and had tremendous stands of large birch trees.
