Our History...

The settlement of Theodore started in the late 1800's two miles east of it's present location. It was named after a member of the Seeman family which were the original settlers at that location. Most of the settlers in the early days were of Scandanavian descent, and were later joined by Polish and Ukrainian settlers. As it was 100 years ago, agriculture is still the main industry. Theodore has been situated on the CP main line since 1904. The original CPR station which was built in 1902 is still functional in the community and now is a museum and senior citizens drop-in centre. Our population in the mid 1950's peaked at close to 500 residents. We have maintained our population at around 380 for several years due to the constant infulx of new residents from the westerly provinces.

Welcome to the Village of Theodore...

Theodore was incorporated as a Village in 1907 and in 2007 we have celebrated our centennial. Our population consists of approximately 380 friendly residents. We are situated on the Yellowhead Highway #16, which runs from Manitoba to the West Coast. We are in a mixed agricultural area known as the Parkland Region which is geographically in one of the best regions in the province, close to all the big city amenities and still able to benefit from all the advantages of a small town lifestyle. We enjoy an abundance of sunshine and clear skies.

We have all the modern conveniences of many larger centers such as shopping, recreation, camping, golf, fire protection, garbage pick-up, 911, first responders, cable TV and more. We have a K-8 separate school in our community and a public school just 15 minutes away. The high school and post secondary education facilities are just 23 minutes away. We have close access to churches, health care, restaurants, recreation, cultural and historical facilities. We are fortunate to have one of the lowest real estate prices in the province. Our property taxes are at the lower end of the scale and have remained that way for the past several years thanks to a very efficient local government.

Our closest city of approximately 20,000 residents is Yorkton, which provides us with other necessities not found here, including large malls, a casino, theatres, a modern hospital and doctors, and a large industrial base. Within an hours drive of Theodore we have access to major industries such as oil and gas, exploration, mining, manufacturing, agricultural operations, intensive livestock operations, and food processing facilities.

We have an extremely good water supply being only four miles from the Theodore Reservoir and about 40 to 60 Km (25 - 40 miles) from two of the largest underground aquifers in the Province. Our geographical location is excellent for access to the major traffic infrastructure routes as we are situated on the main CPR line and on highway #15, which crosses Western Canada and connects us directly to Eastern and Western Canada as well as the North.

 
 

Theodore is located on the Yellowhead highway and forms part of a triangle bounded by highways #1, #16, #10 and #11, which are some of the busiest highways in the Province. The Trans Canada highway #1 crosses Canada from coast to coast and the Yellowhead highway #16 crosses the 4 Western Provinces and is the connecting link to Northern Canada. Saskatoon and Regina are the 2 largest cities in the Province, and Yorkton is the hub of one of the largest trading areas in Saskatchewan and Western Manitoba.
