- Nipawin is located in north-east Saskatchewan, Canada, on the Saskatchewan River portion of Tobin Lake. Nipawin is near the Fort à la Corne Provincial Forest, location of the world's largest diamond bearing kimberlites and intensive diamond exploration activity. Other industries in the area include: agriculture, tourism, canola oil processing, honey production, candle manufacturing, forestry, and commercialization of second-generation biofuels. The town lies between Codette Lake, created by the Francois-Finlay Hydro Dam (built in 1986) and Tobin Lake, created by the E.B. Campbell Hydroelectric Dam (built in 1963, renamed from "Squaw Rapids"). This resort community has become a destination for fishing, camping, boating, golfing, hunting and outdoor recreation. Nipawin hosts several annual fishing events, including, the Great Northern Pike Festival, a summer-long event offering prizes for catching tagged fish. Other annual fishing events are the Codette Walleye tournament, Ladies Fish for Freedom Tournament, and the Vanity Cup Walleye tournament running the last weekend in September and the first week in October. Nipawin is also home to a landscaped 18-hole golf course. It has been rated as one of 100 public courses in Canada and one of the top five in Saskatchewan. Annual events held at the Evergreen Golf Club are Bob Dow Memorial Golf Tournament and the Evergreen Classic Golf Tournament along with many other tournaments through out the golf season. Nipawin is also home to golf pro Tyler Baker. Nipawin is located along the Trans-Canada Snowmobile Trail. There are many other groomed trails that run around Nipawin along with snowmobile rallies. Curling is also found in Nipawin for the young and old. Nipawin hosts the Ladies, Mens and Seniors Bonspiels and the Evergreen Curling Classic. Nipawin is a Cree word meaning "a bed, or resting place" which referred to a low-lying area along the river now flooded by Codette Lake where First Nations women and children would camp and wait for the men to arrive. The first permanent settlement of Nipawin occurred in 1910 with the establishment of a trading post. In 1924 the Canadian Pacific Railway passed nearby, and the settlement was moved, building by building, to its current location to be closer to the railway. The name Nipawin was also given to Nipawin Regional Park, a large recreational a few kilometres northwest of the town. One of the major forms of entertainment in town is the Nipawin Hawks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. On April 18, 2008, a downtown meat shop exploded, destroying three buildings as well as damaging several more. The explosion killed two and injured five. The explosion is suspected to have been caused by a backhoe that snagged and sheared a natural gas riser from the main line. The explosion prompted the implementation of a state of emergency by the mayor. The explosion received extensive national news coverage.
