Kyle is a town in the Rural Municipality of Lacadena No. 228 in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The town had a population of 423 in the 2006 Census. The village was named for its original settler, Jeremiah Kyle, in 1923. Kyle is 72 kilometres (45 mi) north of Swift Current, and is situated along the remains of the historic Swift Current-Battleford Trail, 201 kilometres (125 mi) south-west of Saskatoon, 320 kilometres (200 mi) west of Regina and 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park on Highway 4.

Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Kyle had a population of 413 living in 216 of its 241 total private dwellings, a change of -8% from its 2016 population of 449. With a land area of 1.16 km2 (0.45 sq mi), it had a population density of 356.0/km2 (922.1/sq mi) in 2021.[5]

Attractions

The town is well-known locally both for being the site of a 12,000-year-old woolly mammoth discovery during road construction in 1964 (the bones of which are now on display at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina), and being the nearest community to La Reata Ranch, a working cattle ranch that doubles as a resort allowing guests to experience a real cowboy lifestyle first-hand.

Near the town of Kyle is the Clearwater Lake Regional Park. On the road to it stands one of the last few drive-in theatres in Western Canada, which remains a very popular evening attraction for both young and old in the summer months. That drive-in is one of the few remaining in Saskatchewan. The others include the Jubilee Drive-in Theatre in Manitou Beach, the Prairie Dog Drive-in Theatre in Carlyle, the Moonlight Movies Drive-in in Pilot Butte, and the Twilite Drive-in Theater in Wolseley.[6]
