Welcome to Fort Battleford, an easy day trip from
Saskatoon. Uncover the central but little-known role of Fort Battleford
in the 1885 Resistance. Discover the stories of the First Nations,

Fort Battleford is an early North West Mounted
Police post located on the edge of the town of Battleford at the
junction of the Battle and North Saskatchewan rivers. The designation
refers to the site and its historic resources, which extends in a
diamond shape from the river terrace above the junction of the rivers.
Built resources include several small wooden buildings within a
stockade.

journée facile depuis Saskatoon. Découvrez le rôle central, mais peu
connu, joué par le fort Battleford dans la Résistance de 1885. Découvrez

Fort Battleford est un des premiers postes de la
Police à cheval du Nord-Ouest (PCN-O), situé à la périphérie de la ville
de Battleford, au confluent des rivières Battle et Saskatchewan Nord. La
