By laws

Cupar was established in 1905. Here are the first 7 by laws I found in the Cupar Herald dated 1909. Made me laugh. Somethings have changed and some things haven't. Hopefully not to be sent to the gaol (jail ) for now anyways.

Early sports : baseball 1909 -10

Almost all small rural communities not long after establishing themselves played several different sports. Here is an early baseball team, not all names are listed. Many were prominent business men in town.

Cupar’s brick school

Cupar's brick school was built in 1907. The original didn't have the side extensions most people remember. One of the photos shows the teacherage to the left of the school. Later the elementary school was there. Later it became the school board office.All these buildings are now gone but we do have a "new" K to 12 school near the old site. iv class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Cupar Herald

Small town newspapers are critical to research by community members and others. The Cupar Herald began 6 November 1906 and continued into the early 1950's. Not all issues exist. The Saskatchewan Archives has the remaining issues on microfilm. The Cupar Museum houses the existing paper copies although they are quite fragile we handle them with care.
