Broadview is a beautiful town, which draw tourists with its intrinsic beauty and colorful history.
Broadview is a contender in the nation-wide Communities in Bloom challenge. We invite visitors to come see the natural beauty Broadview holds which is accented by the esthetics of the colors of summer's flowers. The winter months in Broadview are just as beautiful.
This small prairie town keeps active with many recreational events such as snowmobiling, hockey, figure skating and curling. Broadview creates a breathtaking prairie winter scene. The twinkle of the frost can be often seen lining the trees as the sun rises early on crisp winter mornings.

Tourist Attraction: Hang Gliding
Location: Qu'Appelle Valley
One hundred and twenty meters below the level of the prairie lies a Saskatchewan secret. A hidden valley that's enchanting and beautiful.
With a drop of 120 meters (400 ft.), the Qu'Appelle Valley is the best spot for hang gliding from Ontario to the Rockies. The unique landforms that makes the valley such an appealing place is the reason for its suitability for hang gliding.
An abundance of steep hills provide ideal launch sites.
Air currents heated on the valley floor spiral upward allowing the gliders to stay aloft for long periods of time.
Enjoy prairie wildflowers, many varieties of trees, a colorful and peaceful tapestry of sparkling waters, lush meadows, and parklands as you glide across the "hidden valley."

Tourist Attraction: Pow Wow
Treat yourself to the sights and sounds of the old west.
Take in a First Nations pow-wow while in the Whitewood/Broadview/Grenfell/Wolseley district. See the colorful costumes and traditional dancing by First Nations peoples from across North America, to make your trip through the Canadian Prairies one to remember.
There are four First Nation bands just a few miles north of the TransCanada Highway who usually hold pow-wows during the summer.
Routes to the pow-wow grounds are well marked and there are concession booths for light lunches. Tourists are welcome to attend.
The pow-wows are an interesting diversion off the TransCanada and routes through the reserves lead through the glorious Qu'Appelle Valley.

Attraction: Last Oak Golf & Country Club
Location: Qu'Appelle Valley
Last Oak Golf & Country Club is owned and operated by the Cowessess First Nation Indian Band. Set in the beautiful Qu'Appelle Valley about 25 Kms North of Broadview, Last Oak is a full length 6558 yard championship level course. The front 9 plays very long and requires good tee shots, plus even better second shots. The back 9 is shorter and places a demand on sound positional play. With the creek in play on every hole from the 10th onward, you will have to think out every shot and then follow through with great execution.
Worth going out of your way to play, Last Oak easily earns the title of a "hidden treasure."
