Zenon Park Map

Tucked within the Rural Municipality of Arborfield No. 456 in Census Division No. 14, Zenon Park is a small bilingual village in the province of Saskatchewan, where both English and French are used in daily community life. The village sits on a compact land area of just 0.53 square kilometres and is served by the Thunder Rail short-line railway. Residents can also tune in to CKZP-FM, a local community radio station that broadcasts out of the village itself.

The roots of Zenon Park stretch back to 1910, when French-American settlers first made their home in the area. They were followed by immigrants arriving from Quebec and the northern United States, gradually shaping the community’s distinct francophone character. The village received its official name in 1913, honouring Zenon Chamberland, who served as the local postmaster. Early livelihoods depended heavily on agriculture, including alfalfa farming and lumber production. The village formally incorporated on July 28, 1941. One of its most notable landmarks is the Paroisse Notre Dame de la Nativité, a designated heritage property and Roman Catholic church constructed between 1930 and 1931 by Filion and Sons Co. The 2021 census recorded a population of 176 residents living in 82 of 100 private dwellings, reflecting a modest decline from the 194 residents counted in 2016.
