Kenaston

Kenaston is a village in the Rural Municipality of McCraney with residential areas and small businesses positioned along Highway 11. The settlement serves the surrounding farming region and provides basic services to residents and travelers passing through.

The settlement was originally called Bonnington Springs before being renamed Kenaston in 1905 when Saskatchewan became a Canadian province. This change reflected a shift in the community's identity during the early days of the province.

The settlement reflects the heritage of Croatian, Slovak, and Scandinavian families who farmed the land and built community bonds that persist today. Visitors can sense this multicultural foundation in how the village functions as a tight-knit community.

The village office provides information and assistance for visitors exploring the area. Main facilities are located close to each other and are easily accessible on foot.

A snowman structure standing 18 feet (5.5 m) tall sits in a dedicated park as a marker of the region's severe winter conditions. This towering figure serves as a symbol of the harsh snow seasons that define the area.
