YTC lends name to mill green space

Yorkton Tribal Council made a major donation Jan. 25 to support the Yorkton brick flour mill project. The donation of $100,000 will mean the green space surrounding the mill will be known as the Yorkton Tribal Council Gardens. 


Chief Isabel O'Soup and many  employees and volunteers of the YTC have invested their own time and labour over the past several years to rehabilitate the grounds surrounding the mill building.

Preserving an important part of our history

The Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society Inc. was formed in early 2012 by individuals interested in encouraging the preservation of the oldest surviving brick flour mill in Saskatchewan.

What

What

Constructed in 1898 by John J. Smith to support the new settlement's agricultural base, the mill was reinvented a number of times by changing ownership and needs until falling into disuse in the late 1980s.
