Vanscoy

Vanscoy is a rural village in Saskatchewan located approximately 29 kilometers southwest of Saskatoon along Highway 7. The settlement sits within an agricultural landscape of farms and open land typical of the Canadian prairies.

The settlement was named after Vern Vanscoy, an early homesteader who established himself in the area. The community adopted its current name in 1934 after developing from the Rural Municipality of Loganton.

The community center and ice rink serve as gathering places where residents and visitors experience local social life. These facilities host events that bring people together throughout the year.

The village sits directly on Highway 7, making it straightforward to locate and visit by car. Nearby Saskatoon offers additional services and amenities for those needing supplies or accommodation.

A major potash mining operation near the village forms an important part of the regional economy. The presence of this industrial facility has shaped the long-term development and stability of the community.
