Haultain Crescent:

This crescent honours the memory of Sir Frederick William Gordon Haultain. In 1937 Sir Haultain was fortunate enough to celebrate four anniversaries within a few days of each other. These were his 80th birthday, the 50th Anniversary of his election to the North West Territories Council, his 30th year as a member of the University of Saskatchewan Senate and his 25th anniversary as Saskatchewan’s Chief Justice.

Sir Haultain began his law practice in 1884 at Fort Macleod, Alberta. He was first elected to the Territorial Government in 1887 and he served as Premier of the North West Territories from 1887 to 1905.

Following Sir Haultain’s death in 1942 the former Lieutenant Governor Archie McNab gave the following tribute:

“…for more than 50 years he gave single and selfless service to this Western land. His was the hand that piloted the country through its adolescent and formative years… he was not only a great public figure, but a man of delightful and lovable personality. His memory will be kept green as long as the records of this great province endure.”
