Replace with image.Redvers is a town in southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. It is surrounded by, but administratively separate from, the Rural Municipality of Antler No. 61. Redvers is at the junction of Highway 8 and Highway 13, approximately 19 kilometres (12 mi) west of the Manitoba boundary and 67 kilometres (42 mi) north of the Canada–United States border. The population was 1,008 in the 2021 Canadian census.
Established during the settlement of the Canadian Prairies, Redvers was named for British general Redvers Buller. Its post office opened in 1902 and the community was incorporated in 1904. The town developed as a commercial and service centre for a surrounding agricultural district; agriculture, oilfield activity, retail and professional services form parts of its economy. Highway 13 is promoted as the Red Coat Trail, commemorating the North-West Mounted Police's 1874 March West. A mounted-police statue, visitor information cabin and campground stand beside the highway on the western edge of town.
