Govan Recreation

Hunter's/Fisherman's Paradise!
Govan is a hunter's paradise, for hunters from all around North America come to hunt the wild game. Govan is a community open to many hunters, and many of the local hunters have no problem showing people where the good hunting spots are.
Govan is also 12 miles from Last Mountain Lake, where you can fish Perch and Northern Pike. Last Mountain Regional Park is equipped with camping sites, a boat launch, a new pool, a concession stand, a golf course, a beach and other services.
Please remember to abide by the laws of the province when hunting or fishing. Permits can be purchased at

History
During the winter season a popular place to enjoy yourself is the skating rink. The skating rink was built in 1964 and was opened on Feb. 25, 1965.
In the winter there is always something happening at the skating rink. Whether it is public skating, or shinny (playing hockey with no official team).

Curling Rink

Govan has been a real curling town, every year Govan holds a few bonspiels in which many teams from the local area enter. We also have talented curlers who have competed at provincial levels.
This included a group of young boys who won the Provincial Championship in 1974. The team was composed of Gordon Larson (skip), Fred Puffer (third), Robert Martin (second), Don Dabrowski (lead), and Glen Larson (spare).
In 1954 a new curling rink was built, with better facilities. In 1955 the new rink was opened and the old rink was moved to Duval. An interesting fact about the Govan curling rink is, it was one of the first towns of its size to install artificial ice.

Fiddle Festival

  The Fiddle Festival is a famous event in Govan. People from all across Canada come to compete in the contest, in all the different age groups. Also people from all across North America come to stay for the weekend and listen to the talented musicians. The fiddle festival usually brings approximately 1500-2000 people to Govan.
