Business

The Melfort and region business community is diversified and growing. The region has long been sustained by some of the best farmland in western Canada and from these roots has grown a manufacturing cluster the envy of the province. Melfort is ideally situated in the centre of this cluster with over 1,000 employees in manufacturing or processing within 60 kilometres of the city. Just visit our job opportunities links included in this business section and see a sampling of some of the larger employers. 
 
The city is strategically located on the intersection of Highways 3, 6 & 41 and serves as the major retail and service centre of northeastern Saskatchewan. With over 115 billion dollars in annual retail sales, Melfort has one of the strongest retail sectors per capita in Saskatchewan. Click here for a full Community Profile.
