Has anyone visited or lived in kindersley sask? I'm heading out there (might be moving) and I'm just looking for any info on the area, things to do, what you might like about it..anything helps!

I have been to Kindersley many times as my aunt and uncle used to live there. Always loved going to visit. It has grown a lot in the time that I have known it. Has a small mall, Wal-Mart, hotels, a variety of your basic restaurants. If you are into sports, they have a very nice baseball facility where they have hosted the Junior World's, I believe it was. They also have a nice swimming facility and a golf course. Last time I visited, many new houses were going up. Only a small hospital, but very one-on-one, at least when I had to visit it.  
 
ChrisDA is right though, it is approximately 2 hours to Saskatoon and any other larger centre. Not sure about now, but there was a lot of oil in that area and was classified as a "richer" town what with all the oil money surrounding it. Not sure what businesses may be hiring out there.  
 
It has been a few years since I have been able to visit, so this may no longer be the case.

Thanks for the reply. Yes it would be for work and it is well worth it to go.  
I'm aware it's small and that its 2+ hours to a bigger city similar to Brandon to Winnipeg driving.

I got moved out there for work too. I lasted 6 months before I demoted my self at my job and moved back! Yes they have some nice stores that most small towns don't have (Walmart, DQ, McDonald's, ECT) but be prepared that if your not in the oil industry your really a nobody to the locals. There's not much for entertainment there other than one movie theatre. And because it's a small town businesses fight over employees cause there isn't enough workers to go around. Yes great for the employee but most then do a really crap job!
