It was an idea that started back in 2009, but now you can see 50 windmill-style turbines towering over the Town of Assiniboia. 

Assiniboia Mayor Sharon Schauenberg gave Discover Moose Jaw an update on the project. 

“There are 50 windmills up now. Most of them are running and operational. I think we're still missing a few transformers, but the majority of them, I would say 90 per cent of them, are up and running,” she said. 

The project, headed by Potentia Renewable, broke ground five kilometres south of Assiniboia in August of 2019. 

Despite a few delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic for materials that were shipped from overseas, the project is, more or less, completed and the vast majority of the workers have moved on to other projects.
