Furdale, Saskatchewan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Furdale, Saskatchewan is an unincorporated village adjacent to the southern city limits of Saskatoon, west of Highway 219 and on the east bank of the South Saskatchewan River. The population of the community is approximately 1,300.

Furdale primarily consists of acreages and luxury homes, and is considered a major bedroom community of Saskatoon. A similar unincorporated bedroom community, Grasswood Park, lies immediately to the east. Furdale is also the location of many of the Saskatoon area's major horse stable and breeding facilities. The province is planning to build a Perimeter Highway through Furdale in the coming years, which has sparked controversy among residents. Similarly, there has also been a call to upgrade Hwy. 219 (also known as Lorne Avenue) in order to improve access to the area, as well as to a planned First Nations casino planned south of Furdale.
