Shell Lake Pastoral Charge was formed sometime between 1926 and 1932, part of Prince Albert Presbytery and consisting of preaching points at Shell Lake, Avebury and Hawkeye. Around 1936, Mildred was also moved from Spiritwood Pastoral Charge and added to the charge, alongside Camp Lake and Paddling Lake, while Avebury moved to Rothermere Pastoral Charge (Battleford Presbytery). By the mid-1950s, the charge was not listed in Prince Albert Presbytery.

Leask Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church charge in 1925, part of Prince Albert Presbytery and consisting of Leask, The Reserve, and Kilwinning. As of 1932, the re-named Blaine Lake and Leask Pastoral Charge (just Blaine Lake Pastoral Charge by 1936) included Craigmore, Mt. Olive and Carleton Union points. By 1958, the name had returned to Leask Pastoral Charge and by 1962, it had become Leask - Shell Lake Pastoral Charge, with Blaine Lake, Craigmore and Mildred appointments.

Around 1965, the charge returned to the name Leask Pastoral Charge, with points at Blaine Lake and Craigmore. The point at Shell Lake moved to Spiritwood Pastoral Charge. By 1972, Leask joined the Shellbrook and Craigmore points to form Shellbrook-Leask Pastoral Charge.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are a professional Canadian football team based in Regina, Saskatchewan. The Roughriders compete in the Canadian Football League (CFL) as a member club of the league's West Division.

The Roughriders were founded in 1910 as the Regina Rugby Club. Although Saskatchewan was not the first team to play football in Western Canada, the club has maintained an unbroken organizational continuity since their founding. The Roughriders are the fourth-oldest professional gridiron football team in existence today (only the Arizona Cardinals, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Toronto Argonauts are older), and one of the oldest professional sports teams still in existence in North America. Of these teams, the Roughriders are both the oldest still in existence that continuously has been based in Western Canada (as well as the oldest surviving team in the CFL's present-day West Division) and the oldest in North America to continuously have been based west of St. Louis, Missouri. They are also the continent's oldest community-owned professional sports franchise, older than every American professional sports team outside baseball other than the aforementioned Cardinals (who, unlike the Roughriders, no longer play in their original city, and have moved twice in their history) and older than every Canadian sports team outside football except the Montreal Canadiens, who were founded about nine months prior to the Roughriders. The team changed their name to the Regina Roughriders in 1924, and to the current moniker in 1946. The Roughriders played their home games at historic Taylor Field from 1936 to 2016; in 2017, the team moved to the newly constructed Mosaic Stadium at Evraz Place.

Lions Clubs International was founded in Evansville, Indiana, on October 24, 1916 by William Perry Woods. It subsequently evolved as an international service organization under the guidance and supervision of its secretary, Melvin Jones.

In 1917, Jones was a 38-year-old Chicago business leader who told members of his local business club they should reach beyond business issues and address the betterment of their communities and the world. Jones' group, the Business Circle of Chicago, agreed. After contacting similar groups around the United States, an organizational meeting was held on June 7, 1917, in Chicago. The Business Circle subsequently joined one of the invited groups, the "International Association of Lions Clubs" and at a national convention held in Dallas, Texas, later that year, those who were assembled: (1) adopted a Constitution, By-Laws, Code of Ethics and an Emblem; (2) established as a main tenet "unselfish service to others", (3) unanimously elected Woods as its first president, effectively securing his leadership for the first two years of the existence of the International Association of Lions, and (4) selected Jones to serve as the organization's secretary-treasurer.

The Lions motto is "We Serve". Local Lions Club programs include sight conservation, hearing and speech conservation, diabetes awareness, youth outreach, international relations, environmental issues, and many other programs. The discussion of partisan politics and sectarian religion is forbidden. The LIONS acronym also stands for Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nations' Safety.

The Qu'Appelle, Long Lake and Saskatchewan Railroad and Steamboat Company (QLSRSC) was a railway that operated between Regina, Saskatchewan and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada via Craik, Saskatoon and Rosthern.
Augustus Meredith Nanton was an earlier financier who helped raise the funds to establish the railway. Construction began on the line 1883 but ran into financial problems. By 1886, only 25 miles (40 km) had been built, and the line was not finished until 1889.
Work on the first branch line of the QLSRSC began in 1885, from Regina to Craven, Saskatchewan. This permitted the settlement of the area, resulting in the creation of communities as Sunset Cove. The Regina-Prince Albert line was constructed by 1889 and 1890.
In 1889, the company's railways were leased to the Canadian Pacific Railway and finally taken over by the Canadian Northern Railway in July 1906. The railway also operated steamboats on Last Mountain Lake. Through its land holding company, the railway sold off its 1,000,000 acres (400,000 ha) of farmland to early settlers.
