Weyburn Information

Weyburn is a city in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. Weyburn is located on the Souris River 110 kilometres southeast of the provincial capital of Regina. It is only a short 70 km north of the border with the United States.

Weyburn is the largest inland grain gathering point in Canada. Well over half a million tons of grain pass through the Weyburn terminals each and every year. Weyburn is also home to the world's only curling museum, the Turner Curling Museum. Weyburn is also home to the Souris Valley Mental Health Hospital (which was closed as a health care facility and sold in 2006). When opened in 1921, it was the largest building in Canada and was considered on the cutting edge of experimental treatments for people with mental disabilities. The facility had a reputation of leading the way in therapeutic programming.
