Only 30 minutes south of Saskatoon off Highway 11, the Resort Village of Shields can be found along the north-west shoreline of Blackstrap Lake. This bedroom community with just over 200 families, either full-time or part-time, enjoy what this small community and lakeside living offer to them. Many residents speak of the 30-minute drive home that allows them time to unwind after a busy day or week at work and once they arrive at ‘the lake’ they are in their happy place!
The Village boasts a nine-hole grass greens golf course with very reasonable rates and a Community Centre where many Village functions are held which is also available for rent by residents. There are multiple green spaces including Generations Park which has a children’s playground, outdoor adult fitness stations, walking path, and the soccer field. A sandy beach area perfect for sandcastles can be found at Pioneer Point Beach where you will also find a beach volleyball court. In 2020 the Village will have a new multi-sport court that will provide opportunities for new recreational activities in the community such as pickleball, tennis, badminton, and other sports.

Every year the Village calls for nominations for the Spirit of Shields Award. This award recognizes an individual who has made an exceptional contribution to their community. The contribution could have occurred over a significant number of years, be a project of significant benefit to the community, or represented an activity that touched those within the community.
Nominations for the Spirit of Shields Award for the 2024 year is open until August 1st.
