Community Information
Making the decision to move to a new place is complex, but learning about what kind of life looks like in a different location can help you assess whether you and your household will be able to thrive and enjoy living there. Moving to and living in Saskatchewan, and more so rural Saskatchewan is not for everyone, but for many it is a lifestyle they wouldn’t give up for all the attractions of city living. Below you will find high level information to give you a sense of what living in the Three Points region, whether Abbey, Hazlet, or Cabri or the surrounding RMs (Rural Municipalities), looks like, to help you decide whether relocating is a good move for you.
Three Points Economic Partnership is an initiative from six participating municipalities: the Town of Cabri, the Villages of Hazlet and Abbey, and the RMs of Pittville, Miry Creek and Riverside. Each has its own council to govern local affairs. Additionally, these communities are governed at a higher level by the provincial Government of Saskatchewan.
