The community of Red Deer Lake was established by the Red Deer Lumber Company to house workers for their sawmill. The mill and the community were located on the south shore of Red Deer Lake, and were connected by rail to another Red Deer Lumber settlement known as Barrows.
The sawmill closed in 1926, and was then purchased by The Pas Lumber Company. Much of the mill equipment was taken to mills around The Pas to be reused, and the rest of the mill site was salvaged for scrap metal during World War II.
Even after the mill closed, people stayed and lived in the houses left behind by the company. Today, Red Deer Lake is a Métis community with an economy focused on trapping and fishing. [2] [3]
