Wakaw Amenities

Given its popularity with the cottage and camping communities, Wakaw has many amenities to offer right in town. These include restaurants, groceries, gas, hospital, K-12 school, and a hotel, as well as several lifestyle and recreation amenities, including a golf course, boat launch, arena, museum, and even an excursion train!

Founded in 1911, the town of Wakaw has a rich history of eastern-European settlement and was even home to Prime Minister John Diefenbaker.
