RM of Arlington’s story

The Rural Municipality of Arlington No. 79 took shape as a rural municipality on January 1, 1913. It lies in the southwest of the province, east of Shaunavon, and its municipal office is in Shaunavon. Dollard and South Fork are the unincorporated localities within its boundaries.

Long before the municipality was organized, the naturalist John Macoun, an Irish-Canadian working with the Geological Survey of Canada, camped extensively in the area during the 1880s. In the 1950s Everett Baker began developing a spot beside Swift Current Creek as a place where people could go to appreciate nature.

That work grew into Pine Cree Regional Park, officially founded as a regional park in 1970 and named in memory of both Baker and Macoun. It sits just north of the Highway 13 and 633 junction between Shaunavon and Eastend. Today it offers 27 campsites, a picnic area, a camp kitchen, hiking and wildlife viewing.
