Waseca is a village of 154 residents in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.[1] Waseca is located on Saskatchewan Highway 16, the Yellowhead in northwest Saskatchewan.[6] Waseca is located east of Lashburn and west of Maidstone. It was probably named after Waseca, Minnesota.[7] A former resident of the Waseca area (1923-1942) has stated she was told that Waseca was an Indigenous name meaning "Looking Upwards" and the name was assigned when the CN railway station was built.
