Village Of Chauvin
HOME OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOFTBALLIn rolling hills between the Parklands and the Prairies, ten kilometres west of the Saskatchewan border on Highway 610, Chauvin is oil and gas, ranching, and grain country. Come out for the Elks Soap Box Derby, visit Chauvin Greenhouses, experience 114 years of history at the Chauvin Museum, and take a self-guided tour of historical homes and landmarks. Repsol Community Centre hosts individual and family skating, hockey lessons and team games, skating and figure skating lessons, plus a three sheet curling rink, and offers a large arena and commercial kitchen available for rental/events. Chauvin's full-service King's RV Park is close by to a Heritage Rangeland Natural Area and Alberta's Salt Lake. A picture with roadside attraction Suzy, the World's Largest Softball is a must.
