Security Guard Services in Big River

Big River is a northern Saskatchewan community on the shores of Cowan Lake, and Xtreme Security Inc. provides coverage across the town and surrounding lake country. A former lumber mill town turned tourism gateway near Prince Albert National Park, Big River blends forestry heritage with summer lake recreation and the nine hole golf course. We deploy uniformed guards and mobile patrols for tourism operators, forestry sites, rural properties and community facilities. Big River's lumber heritage shaped the town: the mill whistle once set the community's clock, and the forestry industry still defines the region's working character. Cowan Lake's 30 kilometre length makes it one of northern Saskatchewan's great lakes, drawing anglers for walleye and northern pike, while the town's position on Highway 55 puts it on the route to Prince Albert National Park. The nine hole golf course, the regional park campgrounds and the community's recreation facilities give residents and visitors room to play. It is a town where the mill past and the lake future meet. The mill whistle once set Big River's daily rhythm, and forestry remains in the community's DNA. Cowan Lake's walleye waters draw anglers from across the prairies. The Highway 55 route to the national park brings travelers through town. It is a northern community with deep roots.
