BLAST FROM THE PAST!
BLAST FROM THE PAST! With the amount of trees, shrubs, and critters that call it home, you may assume that the Motherwell Reservoir has always been there. Plot twist – it’s actually a human-made area. These photos go waaaaay back to Motherwell Reservoir when it was in the process of being constructed. The construction began in 1912, you can see some more modern looking equipment, but back then, the best way to get things accomplished was with the use of horses. The Motherwell was originally used in order to have a water source for the Town of Kindersley. Once it was no longer necessary for drinking water, it was turned into a more recreational area. Trees were added and the first trails were created. Later, credit was given to Bill Linfoot for the planting of some of the trees in the area (Pope’s Photography). Please click to enlarge the photos!

THE MOTHERWELL RESERVOIR IS GETTING AN UPDATE! 
This project will provide an outdoor recreational upgrade to the Motherwell Reservoir. This recreational upgrade is intended to provide a space for our community and visitors to enjoy in the great outdoors. The area will be a great place for all ages to have the opportunity to experience a no cost recreational activity. It will be perfect for picnics, activities for children such as sand castle building and will also provide water access for non-powered water sports such as paddle boating, paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking, etc.
We are working towards providing better water quality and working to ensure the aquatic habitat is well taken care of. This includes different species of fish and aquatic plants.
Permits for this project have already been obtained from the Water Security Agency (WSA) Aquatic Habitat Protection and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The project is highly regulated and ensures that the upgrades taken will protect and provide a better environment for our natural body of water and all aquatic species.
Many families do not have the opportunity to leave Kindersley and travel to outdoor recreation areas and this will provide them that opportunity […]
