Welcome to Manitou Beach! On behalf of Council and all

surrounds us.
We are truly a unique community. Unique therapeutic water in
our lake, the only one in North America and one of three in the
world. A unique dancehall with a horsehair cushioned dance floor.
Manitou Beach is also very proud of the many talented artists and carvers who produce
amazing pieces and host a ‘Spirit of Manitou Studio Trail’ the first weekend of July. Be sure
not to miss the Street Fair and fireworks on Canada Day and check out the Flea market
across from the Village Hall every Sunday during the summer.
Our proud business community provides a wide range of lodging, from hotels and motels
to B&Bs and a wonderful campground.
This will be my last year on council, as I will not be running again. I would like to thank
all residents, seasonal and full time, for their support and understanding; we have gone
through trying times over the last seven years. I feel very honoured to have served this
wonderful village, as it is a spiritual and peaceful piece of earth.
Manitou Beach is a special place, we invite you to enjoy our community on a vacation or by
making it your home and we will continue our commitment to keep improving our Village
for everyone to enjoy.
The water is high but our spirits are higher.

Welcome
LEGEND OF THE LAKE OF THE
HEALING WATERS
Long before white settlers emigrated
to Canada and the western territories,
Saskatchewan was designated as part of
the Great Plains of western Canada. A
variety of Canadian First Nations tribes
traveled throughout the land, utilizing
the available resources for their survival
while still respecting the land from which
it came.
The arrival of the European settlers
impacted the tribes in a variety of ways.
One of the most devastating effects
settlers had upon the First Nations people
was the introduction of foreign diseases
such as small pox. The Cree people
who populated the land area known as
Saskatchewan were exposed to small pox
and suffered devastating losses. When
traditional medicines and remedies proved
ineffective against this new disease, the
Cree did the only thing they believed they
could, move away from the site of death
and destruction.
According to legend, some young
braves fell ill during their tribe’s move.
Fortunately the tribe’s choice of camp
was in the vicinity of what is now known
as Manitou Lake. The braves were too
weak to continue the journey so the tribe
built a shelter for them before continuing
their journey. It is said the afflicted braves
were overcome with fever and thirst and
crawled their way to the lakeshore where
they slaked their thirst and immersed
themselves in the cool water. Spent from
their efforts, it is said they remained on
the beach overnight. In the morning, the
braves experienced some relief from their
symptoms. The braves attributed the
respite to the water and remained on site,
consuming and immersing themselves into
the liquid medicine. Within days of their
arrival at the lake, the braves regained
their previous state of healthfulness and
continued on their tribe’s journey. Upon
reuniting with their tribe, tribe members
were astounded by the braves’ seemingly
miraculous return to health.
So was born the legend of the healing
waters of Manitou Lake. Medicine men
named the lake Manitou in reference to
the Great Spirit, which is the equivalent
of God. As the legend of the lake with
healing powers spread via word of mouth,
First Nations tribes later followed by the
settlers and then visitors from all parts
of the world, traveled to the Lake of the
Healing Waters to experience relief from a
number of maladies. An entire industry of
healing and therapeutic products sprang
up from the lake resources, an industry
that is still strong and vibrant today in
the new millennium. How effective the
healing waters are can only be determined
through first-hand experience. Experience
the Legend of Manitou for yourself!

HISTORIC CHURCH WINDOWS
The All Saints Anglican Church was
established in 1910. Rev. King, the first
vicar of the church, brought with him a
stained glass window over 500 years old. It
was removed from the Church of St. John
the Baptist in England and buried to protect
it against Puritan vandalism. It was placed
back in the church after the restoration,
but then replaced to make way for another
memorial window. The window was
presented to Rev. King and transportation
was paid to Watrous. The window arrived in
16
See & Do
2000 parts and was assembled into the
fabric of the All Saints Anglican Church.
The window is characteristically medieval
in design and colour; the colours being dark
definite shades of blue, purple, red, green
and yellow. The ancient art of making the
special dyes for the glass has since been
lost. Visitors are encouraged to stop and
take a look at this rare piece of history.
Located on the corner of Main St. and 4th
Ave. in Watrous.
