History of the RM of Torch RiverThe RM of Torch River No. 488 was organized in 1949 and held its first meeting on January 4, 1950. The area was formerly under the L.I.D. Branch of the Department of Municipal Affairs and the establishment of the Municipality was an experiment in a larger area of local government. The late Hon. L.T. McIntosh encouraged the establishment of larger areas of local government as he felt that they could be administered more efficiently and give better service to rural people.
The RM of Torch River No.488 is located north of Nipawin, Saskatchewan. The Municipality includes all the lands lying on the north side of the Saskatchewan River in ranges 13 to 21, to the northerly boundary of Township 55. The total area of the Municipality is 60 townships (some partial) of which approximately 28 are settled. The settled portion of the Muncipality is almost entirely surrounded by forest. There are 3 provincial forests within the RM; Provincial Forest, Torch River Forest and Fort a la Corne. Included under the administration of the RM of Torch River No. 488 is the Hamlet of Garrick, Hamlet of Snowden, Hamlet of Shipman, Scot's Landing and Pruden's Point. Municipalities within the RM of Torch River No. 488 are the Village of White Fox, Village of Love, Town of Choiceland and the Village of Smeaton. |
