Mortlach

Looking for respite from the crazy world out there?  Mortlach welcomes you- it's one of those special rural villages in Saskatchewan making a strong 'comeback'.

Come check out our cool shops!  Mortlach is just off the TC Highway, 22 minutes west of Moose Jaw, 55 minutes west of Regina, 70 minutes east of Swift Current.

 

It's a thriving, charming village of 340, just west of Moose Jaw, with a modern K-12 school, horsemanship riding  & instruction facilities (MRAA),  hockey & curling rink and all kinds of interesting things going on!  A safe, secure haven  to raise a family in.

Photo right: Dale Walde of the University of Calgary opens a drawer of Casey Jones artifacts at University of Calgary. He has just provided us with a current archaeological description of the "Mortlach Phase" for our website history section. The research into the whereabouts of Casey Jones' massive artifact collection led us to Dale and we are so happy it did. Turns out, Dale is someone who is particularly  fascinated with the "Mortlach Phase".  Click here to go directly to the description page. We hope to hear more from Dale and learn more about Casey's collection in 2010.
