Briercrest is a small village in southern Saskatchewan. It is located in the Redburn rural municipality No. 130 at coord|50|10|N|105|16|W|. When the post office formed in 1903, it was a part of the Federal Electoral District: Assiniboia, North West Territories , as well as part of the provisional district of Assiniboia West, North West Territories. The province of Saskatchewan formed in 1905. Briercrest is not far from the cities of Moose Jaw and Regina.

Historical education

Coventry SD 213 North West Territories, was one of the first one-room schools started in 1891. Hipperholme SD 467 North West Territories soon followed in 1899. Many more one room school districts soon followed in the early 1900's to survive until the mid 20th century when they were gradually replaced with the Briercrest Family of Schools.

Briercrest College and Seminary

Although originally founded in the town of Briercrest in 1935, Briercrest College (originally Briercrest Bible Institute), part of Briercrest College and Seminary, moved to the town of Caronport. In 1946, a bigger facility was needed for the increasing number of students, and the airbase at Caronport became the school's new home.
