Downtown

The peaceful community of Assiniboia invites and welcomes you to the "Heart of the Golden South". Assiniboia is rich with heritage, resource and a strong sense of community. It is the service center of the south. The residents and tourists enjoy a rare freedom only the vast open plains can offer.

The original Northwest Territories' District of Assiniboia, which encompassed Southern Saskatchewan from south of Saskatoon to the U.S. border, was named after the Assiniboine Indians. The word Assiniboia is Saulteaux (Plains Ojibwa) meaning "One who cooks with heated stones." It is from this rich dowry the town of Assiniboia adopted its name.

Hunting & Fishing

Assiniboia and the surrounding area is noted for good hunting, particularly ducks, upland game and deer throughout the year. For more information on any of these places please contact Assiniboia Tourism at (306) 642-5553 or any Saskatchewan Tourism Office.
