Chamberlain (2016 population: 90) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Sarnia No. 221 and Census Division No. 6.

Contents

Chamberlain is notable for being the last community between Regina and Saskatoon that Highway 11, the Louis Riel Trail, still passes through. The highway narrows to two lanes and its speed limit is reduced from 110 km/h to 50 km/h. A number of small restaurants and gas stations benefit from having traffic pass through at slow speed. The village is only about half an hour drive from Moose Jaw, an hour from Regina and one and a half hours from Saskatoon. Highway 11 has been realigned around all other communities along its route.

History

Chamberlain incorporated as a village on January 31, 1911. [2]

Findlater, Saskatchewan Special service area in Saskatchewan, Canada

Findlater is a special service area in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality (RM) of Duffering No. 190 and Census Division No. 6. It is 75 km northwest of Regina, Saskatchewan's capital, on Highway 11, and 15 km from the Town of Chamberlain. The original settlers had been looking for the neighbouring community of Chamberlain but, due to fatigue amongst the tribesmen, decided to rest at the site. They quickly settled and developed basic living amenities despite promises from the tribe leaders that they would soon move on and "find the new village". This continued for several months as the settlement evolved – tribesmen receiving the same responses to questions of the new community; "We'll find it later", or simply, "findlater". After a year the community was a well established populous and the name "Findlater" had been adopted fondly as homage to the promised community that had brought them there. It is believed (inaccurately) by some that the name comes from Findlater Castle in Banffshire, Scotland.
