About the Creighton–Buffalo Narrows area
The area
This page covers Statistics Canada's Census Division No. 18, the northern half of Saskatchewan: forest, rock and lakes from Green Lake north to Lake Athabasca. It spans about 262,300 km² of land and had about 36,000 people in 2021. La Ronge and La Loche (about 2,500 each) are the largest places, then Île-à-la-Crosse and Air Ronge (about 1,400 each), Creighton (about 1,200) and Buffalo Narrows (about 1,000). Outside its 24 towns, northern villages and hamlets, the province governs the land as one municipality, the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District.
History
The Lac La Ronge Indian Band and the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation, based at Pelican Narrows, joined Treaty 6 through an 1889 adhesion at Montreal Lake; Treaties 8 and 10 cover much of the rest. Fur posts made the oldest settlements, Cumberland House (1774) and Île-à-la-Crosse (1776), both Métis communities today. Creighton grew from the 1930s along a road out of Flin Flon, Manitoba, and became a town in 1957 on the mines there.
Services and access
La Ronge Health Centre, St. Joseph's in Île-à-la-Crosse and La Loche Health Centre and Hospital have 24-hour emergency departments. Flin Flon General Hospital, run by Manitoba's Northern Health Region, serves Creighton as a Saskatchewan satellite site. Highway 2 reaches La Ronge 237 km north of Prince Albert, Highway 155 serves Île-à-la-Crosse, Buffalo Narrows and La Loche, and Highway 106 (the Hanson Lake Road) reaches Creighton. Rise Air's scheduled flights link Saskatoon and Prince Albert with La Ronge, Stony Rapids and other northern communities. Government services, mining, forestry, tourism, fishing and wild rice carry the economy.
Land and climate
The southern edge is Boreal Plain forest on deep glacial deposits; most of the rest is Boreal Shield bedrock under black spruce, with Taiga Shield and long, very cold winters in the far north. Lac la Ronge, with more than 1,300 islands, is the province's fourth-largest lake.
Before you buy
Most District land is Crown land, and its properties include leases as well as titled lots. Outside its communities, the Ministry of Environment handles Crown land and generally sells only to existing lessees in set categories. Government Relations approves subdivisions, including leases over 10 years. Northern Municipal Services in La Ronge issues development permits only in the Lac La Ronge Planning Area; elsewhere the District has no zoning bylaw, and towns, villages and hamlets set their own. The District has no building permit, though the National Building Code applies. Lake beds and shores are Crown land, and altering a bank needs a Water Security Agency permit. For wildfire, burning in or within 4.5 km of the provincial forest from April 1 to October 31 needs a Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency burn notification, and whoever starts a spreading fire can be billed for fighting it.
