Martensville

Martensville is a town located in Saskatchewan, Canada, just north of Saskatoon. It is the fastest growing town in Saskatchewan, with the population growing 25% between 1996 and 2001.

Martensville's population exceeded 5,000 in 2005 which makes it eligible to apply for city status under Saskatchewan law. It is not known if the town will immediately seek city status.

Places of interest in Martensville include a golf course, a bowling alley, a BMX track, and the Chrome Dome, where the Martensville Marauders play hockey.

The town is currently "rebranding" itself as the community of lakes. As of 2005 the town has 5 large lakes that are connected through a series of canals. The lakes and creeks are part of the Opimihaw Creek system. The recreational potential of this concept will completely remake Martensville.

The town also holds its annual Buster Days festival every June, usually in the first or second week. Buster Days is a 3 to 4 day festival that includes a parade, dances, and a small exhibition.

Martensville attracted national media attention in 1992 because of a reported incident of abuse at a day care centre.
