Prud'homme, Saskatchewan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prud'homme is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Formerly reknowned as Howell, it was later named after the bishop Msgr. Joseph H. Prud'homme. This community is mostly based on agriculture.

The population is mostly made up of Ukrainian, Hungarian, Polish and Fransaskois communities. French is widely spoken among many of the older generations. There has been an increase in French speakers among the youth due to the francophone school of École Providence, in the nearby town of Vonda. They also have an amazing hockey team called the SVP Mad Dogs, which features such players as Dion Cordes and Stephan Hounjet.
