Geography

The land was annexed from the rural municipality of Corman Park between 1975 and 1984 and 1990-1994. In 2005 land was annexed for Akzo (Marquis Industrial). [1] The Marquis Industrial subdivision is along two major trucking routes. Sk Hwy 11 to Prince Albert via Warman, and Sk Hwy 12 to Blaine Lake via Martensville mark the western boundary. Commercial and industrial enterprises along both sides of 71st Street are the northern perimeter of the industrial park.

From the 1980s until recently, the portion of Marquis Industrial east of the rail line and north of the Silverwood Heights community was demarcated as Silverwood Industrial.

Economy

The Marquis Industrial park is a mix of commercial and industrial concerns.

Transportation

Until recently, the area was primarily accessed via Wanuskewein Road and Miller Avenue from the south and north and 71st Street from the west. An extension of Marquis Drive has now provided the region with its major road access, and in 2013 the city approved plans for a north commuter bridge off the east end of Marquis to connect to an extension of McOrmond Drive from the east, providing a major commuter link between Marquis Industrial and the residential communities in northeast and east Saskatoon. The bridge is not, however, being considered a truck route. This new route opened to traffic in the fall of 2018.

History of Saskatoon

The history of Saskatoon began with the first permanent settlement of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in 1883 when Toronto Methodists, wanting to escape the liquor trade in that city, decided to set up a "dry" community in the rapidly growing prairie region. As of 1882 this area was a part of the provisional district named Saskatchewan, North-West Territories. Their organization, the Temperance Colonization Society, first examined this area in 1882 and found that it would make an excellent location to found their community based on the ideals of the temperance movement. The settlers, led by John Neilson Lake, arrived on the site of what is now Saskatoon by traveling by railway from Ontario to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and then completing the final leg via horse-drawn cart. The plan for the Temperance Colony soon failed as the group was unable to obtain a large block of land within the community. Nonetheless, John Lake is commonly identified as the founder of Saskatoon; a public school, a park and two streets are named after him.
