Yorkton is a city of about 15,000 people in the south-east of Saskatchewan, Canada, near the Manitoba border. The story of Yorkton goes back to 1882, when a group of settlers from York County, Ontario, established a settlement. They had been recruited by the York Farmers Colonization Company, and originally founded York Colony about two miles north of the present-day city, on the banks of a small river. Present-day attractions include the Western Development Museum, the Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival held annually since 1947, the Painted Hand Casino, and the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
