Findlater (2016 population:45) is aspecial service area in theCanadian province ofSaskatchewan within theRural Municipality (RM) of Duffering No. 190 andCensus Division No. 6. It is 75 km northwest ofRegina, Saskatchewan's capital, onHighway 11, and 15 km from the Town ofChamberlain. The original settlers had been looking for the neighbouring community of Chamberlain but, due to fatigue amongst the tribesmen, decided to rest at the site. They quickly settled and developed basic living amenities despite promises from the tribe leaders that they would soon move on and "find the new village". This continued for several months as the settlement evolved – tribesmen receiving the same responses to questions of the new community; "We'll find it later", or simply, "findlater". After a year the community was a well established populous and the name "Findlater" had been adopted fondly as homage to the promised community that had brought them there. It is believed (inaccurately) by some that the name comes fromFindlater Castle inBanffshire,Scotland.[7]
