Mayor Colin Bennett said they have yet to finalize an agenda for the day, but there will be several events. "They haven't really come out with everything yet, everything's still in the planning stage," said Bennett. Gainsborough started their festivities at the curling rink on New Year's Day, with a potluck supper, curling, skating and card games. The Saskatchewan centennial party won't be as large as the village's 100th birthday, which was celebrated in 1994. More than 2,000 people attended that bash. Approximately 300 people call Gainsborough home. The current council features Bennett and Councillors Gerald Reynolds, Vic Huish, Elaine Morgan and Garnet Burke.

However, three retired couples have moved to the community from British Columbia in the past 12 months, Bennett said, due to the lower cost of living. Like many small Saskatchewan communities, Gainsborough is fighting to survive. They do boast several businesses that meet a variety of needs. "The one thing that keeps us going here is the oil business," said Bennett.
