Sceptre is a village in southwestern Saskatchewan, with a population of 99 as of the 2006 census.[1]
The former school was reopened in 1988 as the Great Sandhills Museum, with exhibits showcasing the area's natural and human history.[2]
The village is home to various works of public art, including cartoon-like fire hydrants, murals, and the world's largest metal wheat sculpture.[3] The latter was created in 1990 and stands 33 feet (10 m) tall.[4]
Sceptre is situated just north of the Great Sand Hills, a vast area of arid grassland and sand dunes. One of the more easily accessible parts of the dunes is located about 10 km south of the village.[5] Though located on private land, the public is permitted to enter the area.
It is the birthplace of Bert Olmstead, a five-time Stanley Cup winner.[6]
