Planned move from Hague to Denare Beach Monday: Sask. highways

A major move will begin Monday morning starting from the Hague area (north of Saskatoon) to Denare Beach, so pack your patience and allow extra time for travel.

The first of 35 modular homes are being sent to Denare beach… and the width of the highways won’t allow space for traffic to pass.

Saskatchewan motorists taking highways 120, 106 or 167 should expect some wait times.

In the ministry’s press release, it said, “there will be a few pullouts to allow vehicles to pass, but they will not be frequent because the road is narrow.”

“Pilot vehicles are there for your safety — follow their directions to help support this move safely,” read the statement.

Motorists are also advised to keep an eye out for the indicator “!” sign on the highway.

Earlier this month, 650 CKOM had reported the Government of Saskatchewan was providing up to 35 temporary modular homes for Creighton and Denare Beach residents who lost their homes in the Wolf Fire this summer.

The Wolf Fire destroyed more than 400 structures, including more than 200 homes in the village of Denare Beach.

The province said the housing units will be available for residents in October.

At that time, Denare Beach Councillor Karen Thomson said the announcement was very welcome news, especially with winter looming.

She said said around 35 families and or individuals have been identified for support, and most of them will be situated in Creighton.

Recently, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe made a surprise visit to visit Denare Beach. Thomson said they were only expecting cabinet ministers to attend the scheduled update meeting.

At that meeting, she said Moe talked about how the province can support mental health needs for residents, along with financial assistance to help with the rebuild.
