Throughout its history, Kipling has faced pressures common to many rural communities in Canada. Declining populations, especially in the towns and villages surrounding Kipling has occurred over the years in response to fluctuations in economic stability. By relying on multifaceted economic inputs, Kipling has been able to establish a lasting presence in the area, with primary industries including swine genetics, oil production and agriculture. As Saskatchewan’s economy continues to expand, attracting and retaining workers has become a priority for employers in the area, with some adding newcomers, particularly those from the Philippines, to their workforce.
Major investment in infrastructure projects in recent years has led to the expansion of Kipling School, serving over 360 students in kindergarten through grade twelve from Kipling and surrounding areas. A new hospital has just opened, combining both long term and acute care.
