REGIONAL PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
The Northern Lakes Economic Development Corporation was developed in 2010 to assist and identify needs to support business growth
among their region. The communities that are included within this Region are: The Village of Glaslyn, the Village of Medstead, Shell Lake,
Town of Spiritwood, Resort Village of Chitek Lake, Village of Leoville and Rabbit Lake, Pelican Lake First Nations, Witchekan Lake First
Nations, Big River First Nation, Ahtahkakoop Cree Nation, the RM of Spiritwood, RM of Parkdale, RM of Medstead, RM of Roundhill and
Meeting Lake.
This Region is famous for its outdoor activities, proximity to the forestry belt, small-town hospitality and First Nation partnerships. It was
with these assets that the Town of Spiritwood realized that there are many opportunities available in this Region, but has been kept secret
from the rest of the country. For instance, you hear about the auto industry in Ontario, or the oil industry in Alberta, but many people do
not know about the oil opportunities that are becoming available in Glaslyn, the regional parks/tourism opportunities that surround Rabbit
Lake/Shell Lake or the animal genetics industry that is based in Spiritwood. With the recent success that Saskatchewan is having it was
time to bring this Region to the forefront, so they brought together a group of surrounding communities to explore a regional strategy to
attract new partners that could cluster with the existing businesses or new industries that could take advantage of the opportunities that
are available.

To identify the strengths of the demographic review, a statistical analysis was done of the combined
Municipalities, Rural Municipalities and First Nations groups. The following communities were
included in this analysis*:
As per the chart the population for this region is over 9000 and is quite stable with a 98% retention
rate. The communities that have seen growth within this Region is the Big River First Nations, the
Village of Rabbit Lake and the RM of Parkdale. These numbers also do not take into consideration
that it is centrally located in the middle of three major urban centres including North Battleford, Prince
Albert and Saskatoon, which adds an additional market of 284,936. Largely because of the regional
parks and lakes that are found within this region this area grows considerably during the summer
months.

SHELL LAKE
Located just off of Memorial Lake, lies Shell Lake. The main drivers of this economy is the agriculture industry and the servicing of the lakes for all their needs.
During the summer months this community is buzzing with activity from campers and those who own cabins in the northern lakes region. They offer everything
from a home-building supply business to a full18-hole golf course.

GLASLYN
Located on the edge of the Northern Lakes Region and on a major trading route lies the town of Glaslyn. Due to the forest fringe being fifteen minutes away, it’s
another village that relies on the forestry, agriculture and tourism industries for their economic well-being. There are currently discussions about the potential of
oil that lies underneath this area and the opportunities that this might bring.
