Weyburn summary
Weyburn is a city in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located on the Souris River 110 kilometres (68 miles) southeast of the provincial capital
of Regina and is 70 km (43 mi) north of the border with the United States. The name is reputedly a corruption of the Scottish "wee burn," referring to a
small creek.
Weyburn is the largest inland grain gathering point in Canada. Well over half a million tons of grain pass through the Weyburn terminals each and every year.
Weyburn is also home to the world's only curling museum, the Turner Curling Museum. Weyburn is also home to the Souris Valley Mental Health Hospital. When
opened in 1921, it was the largest building in Canada and was considered on the cutting edge of experimental treatments for people with mental disabilities.
The facility had a reputation of leading the way in therapeutic programming. At its peak, the facility was home to approximately 1,500 patients. The history
of the facility is explored in the documentary Weyburn: An Archaeology of Madness.
