Alsask, Saskatchewan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alsask (2006 Population 129) is a village in west central Saskatchewan, Canada, 60 km west of Kindersley and just east of the Alberta border. Highway 44 runs to the east of Alsask, and Highway 7 lies a few kilometres to the north. Its name combines the names of Alberta and Saskatchewan, although it is a misconception that it straddles the border between the two provinces (it is actually adjacent to the border). Its most notable landmark is a radar dome used for many years by the Canadian Forces to aid in national defense.
