Pasqua 79 is an Indian reserve of the Pasqua First Nation in Saskatchewan.[1][4] It is about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) west of Fort Qu'Appelle. In the 2016 Canadian Census, it recorded a population of 517 living in 173 of its 200 total private dwellings.[2] In the same year, its Community Well-Being index was calculated at 56 of 100, compared to 58.4 for the average First Nations community and 77.5 for the average non-Indigenous community.[3]

The reserve is located on the south side of Pasqua Lake in the Qu'Appelle Valley.

Land reductions

The initial reserve allotment was 60.2 square miles (156 km2) but as a result of land surrenders and government expropriations, this has since been reduced by nearly half to about 36 square miles (93 km2)[5]
