Springside is a great place to call home – you can enjoy the peace and serenity of small town life right along a major travel route. We continue to grow and prosper and welcome new residents and new business interests.

Springside has so much to offer. We are less than a 20-minute drive from the City of Yorkton, which has a wide array of stores and services. 

We have easy access to the Good Spirit Provincial Park with all its summer and winter recreation opportunities. It’s a short trip to the Whitesand River, which has the Whitesand Regional Park alongside its shoreline and the Theodore Dam on the southern end of the lake. Both the lake and the river are home to some great fishing for walleye, perch and pike.

Our town hall was recently renovated and is a wonderful location for wedding dances, community meetings or family get-togethers. 

The Springside Community Centre is our natural ice arena and as such is the hub of activity in the winter months. 

Springside has businesses, clubs and organizations that can meet your needs and interests.

Other amenities include a school with Grades K-8, senior and low cost housing lodging, library and day care as well as a variety of business from plumbing, heating, electrical, building contractors and an auction house.

 We are very thankful to have a team of volunteers in the community who have come together to help out during this difficult time. If you are in need of assistance, please call the town office (306) 792-2022 or email: kathy.springside@sasktel.net and we can connect you with a volunteer.  Outside of regular office hours please feel free to reach out directly to the Springside Baptist Church.   The Springside Baptist Church has mobilized volunteers to help out if you are in need of childcare OR grocery pickup please contact the Springside Baptist Church by email: office@springsidebaptist.com or call Pastor Mike: 306-621-9622.  This offer of assistance is open to everyone in our community not only the adherents of the Baptist Church. 

Released on September 14, 2021

Starting today, daily case numbers will include ages 0-11 in the "COVID-19 new cases and vaccination status" table available at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-cases.  This data will be updated seven days a week and will be integrated into the COVID-19 dashboard in the coming weeks.

Note that, as of September 14, two residents ages 0-11 are in hospital; neither of these are in ICU. The Ministry of Health is working on providing hospitalization by age and vaccination status as part of the daily dashboard reporting.  That information will be posted to the COVID-19 dashboard when available.

Test to Protect - Symptomatic Residents Prioritized

Saskatchewan residents may be asked to provide negative COVID-19 test results for the purposes of travel or event admittance.  Note that the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is prioritizing processing symptomatic test results in order to support contact investigations and preventing further transmission.

If you are seeking asymptomatic testing for non-essential purposes, test results may not be available within a specified timeframe.

If you require a negative test due to being unvaccinated/only partially vaccinated, private lab services are available as an option for asymptomatic testing.

Residents and businesses who are interested can learn more by searching "private labs offering COVID-19 testing in Saskatchewan."

Vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19. All residents born in 2009 or earlier are now eligible to be immunized.  Safe and effective, COVID-19 vaccines are available throughout the province.

COVID-19 Summary for September 14, 2021: 

• From September 8 - 14, 12,972 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given in Saskatchewan, bringing the total number of vaccines administered in the province to 1,503,385.
• As of September 14, 78 per cent of those 12+ have received their first dose and 70 per cent of those 12+ are fully vaccinated.
• There were 2,842 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan from September 8 - 14, bringing the provincial total to 59,673 cases.  Two thousand and seventy-six recoveries were recorded during the same period.
• The seven-day average of new COVID-19 cases in Saskatchewan is currently 406 (33.7 per 100,000).

• There was one (1) case confirmed as a Variant of Concern between September 8 - 14.  As of September 13, 2021, the province of Saskatchewan has ceased testing for variant type on all new cases using SNP.  The Delta variant has become the dominant variant in the province of Saskatchewan and maintaining SNP testing on all positive cases reduces the speed at which test results are available.  Whole genome sequencing will continue to identify any emerging variants.
