One of the first things you need to know about Cabri is how to say the name. It's pronounced Kay' bree (with the accent on the first syllable). According to folklore, the name originated from the early explorers' pronunciation of an aboriginal word for antelope. Recent research indicates it may have been derived from the Latin name for the pronghorn (Antilocapridae). An e-mail recently received from Laval University in Quebec suggests that the Voyageurs and the French Metis thought the animal looked a bit like a goat and ''cabri'' is the French-Provincial word for goat.

The Town of Gull Lake is a progressive community, located 56 km SW of SWIFT CURRENT at the junction of Highways 1 and 37 in the heart of oil country. Today, farming, ranching, oil, and gas still form the basis of the local economy; there are two inland grain terminals; and numerous oil businesses, pump jacks, gas wells, and battery sites which dot the landscape. Wind power is another important energy resource that is being developed in the Gull Lake area; and the view south of Gull Lake toward the giant windmills of the Bench Hill, Saskatchewan's first wind farm, has often been photographed and painted by visiting artists and tourists.Local residents are justifiably proud of this wonderful achievement.

The Village of Beechy is located 48 kilometers east of Kyle on highway 342. It is snuggled on the north side hills of a flat valley floor. The west end of the valley is the beginning of the Snakebite Coulee that drains all the flat land and ends its life in the South Saskatchewan River. Beechy is 18 kilometers north of the shore of Lake Diefenbaker, the lake that was formed by the construction of the Gardiner Dam. The village sits in an area shaped by the elbow of the river. This part of the world was surveyed in the 1890s, and it wasn't settled until much later when the homesteaders moved in.The ranchers came first. Robert Cruickshank has been acknowledged as the first Beechy District settler. At the turn of the last century, Cruickshank acquired 50,000 acres of lease on the Beechy side of the water where he set up a home for his family.
