Hawarden
Hawarden is a village located in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, within the Rural Municipality of Loreburn No. 254 and Census Division No. 11. As of the 2016 census, the population was 52. The village is situated on Highway 19, north of Strongfield, Loreburn, and Elbow.
Named after Hawarden Castle in Flintshire, Wales, which was the country home of British politician William Gladstone, the village features several key facilities, including a post office, Hawarden Hall, a playground, and a bar. Over the years, it has housed an elementary school, Perry Industries, an indoor skating rink, a bank, gas pumps, an arcade, two churches, two convenience stores, a surplus store, four grain elevators, and a café. Hawarden incorporated as a village on July 16, 1909.
The Canadian Bank of Commerce opened in 1909 but was destroyed by fire on December 12, 1911, along with much of Gladstone Street. A new building was erected in 1922 and remains one of only two known structures of its architectural type in Saskatchewan.
On July 5, 1988, a tornado caused significant damage to the village, uprooting trees and knocking boxcars off the railway. According to the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Hawarden's population decreased to 50, residing in 30 of its 33 total private dwellings, a decline of 3.8% from the 2016 population of 52. With a land area of 1.12 km² (0.43 sq mi), the population density was 44.6/km² (115.6/sq mi) in 2021.
The 2016 Census reported a population of 52 living in 33 of its 36 total private dwellings, reflecting a 3.8% increase from 50 in 2011. Since 2001, the Hawarden Winter Warriors have organized the Annual Hawarden Vintage Snowmobile Rally, featuring a 97 km (60 mi) trail for newer snowmobiles and a 32 km (20 mi) trail for vintage models. The event begins at Hawarden Hall and includes many vintage snowmobiles, snow planes, and various prizes and raffles.
Additionally, since 2001, the Bert's Boxing Day Classic, a recreational hockey tournament in memory of Brendan Ringdal, was held annually in Hawarden until 2010 when it moved to Kenaston due to the closure of the local rink. The village celebrated its 90th Anniversary in 1999 with a parade, local talent performances (including the Whistlers), and fireworks.
