EASTEND — Are you looking for a safe and thriving community to call home? Look no further than Eastend, Saskatchewan. Rosa Vazquez, a representative of Eastend Tourism and Economic Development, knows firsthand why this town is a great place to live. She moved to Eastend 10 years ago and has fallen in love with the community.
"Eastend is a diverse and welcoming community," Vazquez says. "It offers a great quality of life and a friendly atmosphere." This is likely why the town has experienced significant growth, from 503 residents in 2016 to 607 in 2021. Vazquez believes there may be even more residents now, thanks to the influx of health-care workers and other new residents.
As more people move to Saskatchewan, they realize how important it is to find a safe and friendly community. Eastend fits the bill, offering a secure environment and a wealth of amenities. With a daycare centre, K-12 school, swimming pool, golf course, and rink, the town provides a wide range of activities for all ages throughout the year. Whether you're looking to stay active, explore local culture, or simply enjoy the friendly atmosphere, Eastend has something for everyone.
Variety of events
Vazquez also appreciates the town's beautiful hills and scenery. However, what truly makes Eastend stand out is its active community volunteer groups, which help manage recreation facilities and organize events that draw more visitors to the town. In addition, Eastend thrives on strong regional cooperation, working closely with neighbouring communities and businesses to foster growth, development and immigration.
Another perk of living in Eastend is its affordable housing. As living costs rise, it's more important than ever to find a community that fits your budget. And with tourism on the rise, some visitors have fallen in love with Eastend and decided to make it their home.
When you visit Eastend, be sure to try some of the local cuisine, which includes traditional and diverse options. The town has plenty to offer, from the famous Scotty the T-Rex Centre to its many festivals like the Annual Dino Days and the second edition of the Big Flat Folk Festival, which has grown to a two-day celebration of music and culture since it began last year.
As Vazquez puts it, "You never know what you're going to find here." Whether you're looking for a safe place to live, a beautiful view, or a community that's full of life, Eastend has something for everyone.
