Source-derived summary

Boggy Creek is a river in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It begins north-east of Balgonie and heads in a westerly direction towards Pilot Butte and Regina before turning north-west where it meets the Qu'Appelle River east of Lumsden. Along the river's course there is a reservoir and several tourist attractions, including parks, golf courses, a race track, and a summer camp.

Course

Boggy Creek begins in the Rural Municipality of South Qu'Appelle No. 157 about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north-east of Balgonie near Highway 10. The source of Echo Cteek, another Qu'Appelle River tributary, is a short distance to the east. From Boggy Creek's source, it heads west crossing Highway 364 before dropping south for about 1.6 km (1 mi). It then returns to its westerly flow skirting the northern edge of Pilot Butte. West of Pilot Butte is Murray Parkway Golf Course, Kings Park Speedway, and Tor Hill Golf Course. From Tor Hill Golf Course, Boggy Creek heads in a north-westerly direction crossing Highway 6 then Highway 11 before emptying into Condie Reservoir in Condie Nature Refuge.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Boggy Creek (Saskatchewan)” as watercourse in Lumsden No. 189, Saskatchewan, Canada. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 179-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Boggy, Creek and Saskatchewan can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as watercourse in Lumsden No. 189, Saskatchewan, Canada. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22579463. Authority coordinates are 50.667, -104.834. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
