Weldon is a small community in the mixed wood central farm belt of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. The area is part of the aspen parkland biome. The village is located {{Convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Highway 3 at the midway point between the cities of Prince Albert and Melfort, Saskatchewan. The village is just {{Convert|20|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of the Weldon Ferry linking it to Highway 302 and is often used as an access point to the historic Saskatchewan River Forks where the North and South Saskatchewan rivers join just {{Convert|25|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the northeast.

History

Weldon is historically recognized in that the first Canadian grain ever shipped through the port of Churchill, Manitoba and sent via freighter through the Hudson Bay was grown in the Weldon area. Of some note is the fact that hundred of thousands of bushels of grain from the area was sent via that port to Britain during {{nobreak|World War II}}.

The village has seniors citizens lodge, a seniors club, a riding club, a winter recreation centre, an auditorium/gymnasium complex, a public library, a furnished summer sports field and worship centres for one denomination as well as a non-denominational assembly. The community is known for its old growth tree-lined streets and the natural environment of the farmland in the parkland region.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}

Attractions

Weldon has modern amenities and services, and its population of approximately 200 enjoys a quiet, relaxed lifestyle reminiscent of another era. Many of the residents trace their lineage back to their Norwegian forebears who first established the community just after the turn of the previous century. Weldon's senior residents hold strong links to their roots in Norway and every May 17 a large "Syttende Mai" celebration is a significant cultural event in the village. The village's population grew fivefold during its 2005 Homecoming Celebrations held during the Canada Day weekend.
