"Bringing Biggar to the World"
Woman on a dock at Skinner Lake, near Biggar
Biggar, Saskatchewan... the land beckoned and the railway brought them!
Biggar was named by William Biggar, a lawyer for the company which built the first tracks through this area, Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. As the tracks were established and the train station was built, the people came from all over the world for the “free land” promised by the Dominion Government. They came to farm, to open shops, to provide services. By 1909, Biggar became a village, and by 1911, a town. The forefathers of this town were forward thinking. They knew to provide services for the people of the area and build Biggar into the community it is.

Since 2003, The Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation has been dedicated to collaborating with both private and public organizations. Our mission is to humanize the fallen, provide a glimpse into our soldiers’ lives, and preserve their memory through memorials. We’ve crafted oak-framed and metal art prints that are now on display in over 500 communities across the nation, with thousands more recognized and accessible through our online database, found by visiting “In Memoriam.” Here, you can search for these heroes by their name or the town they once proudly called home.
