Highway 201 (also known as Chief Kahkewistahaw Way) is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway runs from the Trans-Canada Highway near Broadview north to the Highway 247 / Highway 638 intersection in the Qu'Appelle Valley. Connecting to Highway 247 provides access to Crooked and Round Lakes of the Fishing Lakes in the Qu'Appelle Valley. En route, Highway 201 passes through the Kahkewistahaw First Nation. It is about 19 kilometres (12 mi) long.[1]
On 26 September 2025, Saskatchewan Highways Minister Dave Marit announced the dual designation of Highway 201 as 'Highway 201 Chief Kahkewistahaw Way' to honour Chief Kahkewistahaw, one of the original signors of Treaty 4.[2][3]
Route description
Hwy 201 begins in the Rural Municipality of Elcapo No. 154 at a junction with Hwy 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) just east of the town of Broadview, with the road continuing south as Range Road 2045. It heads north past the Trans-Canada's Broadview Rest Area to travel through rural farmland for several kilometres to have an intersection with Jacob Bear Road, which provides access to the Ochapowace Nation Ochapowace 71 reserve, as it enters the Kahkewistahaw First Nation, forming the main thoroughfare for their Kahkewistahaw 72 reserve. The highway now winds its way down into the Qu'Appelle River valley, crossing the river halfway between Crooked Lake and Round Lake as it enters the Rural Municipality of Grayson No. 184 and comes to an end shortly thereafter at an intersection with Hwy 247, with the road continuing north as Hwy 638. The entire length of Hwy 201 is a paved, two-lane highway.[4]
