The site of the present village was purchased by the CNR in 1911 about the time the railway line was constructed. Many business buildings and homes were built by 1911. At the time of incorporation as a village in April of 1912, there were over 100 persons residing in the village.
The name Briercrest was given to the first post office that was located on the farm of Captain Charles Jaques in 1902. Mrs. Jaques had chosen the name after the wild roses growing on a ridge nearby and agreed to the use of the name for the village.
Today, almost 100 years later the village remains part of an active community with businesses and community organizations serving the area. About 160 residents currently live in the village.
The village is located about 45 km southeast of Moose Jaw and about 80 km southwest of Regina, Saskatchewan.

Speed Sign on Veterans Drive - Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Grant program
Speed Sign on Veterans Drive - Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Grant program
The new speed sign on Veterans Drive is funded by the Provincial Traffic Safety Fund Grant program, which provides up to $100,000 per location for municipalities and Indigenous lands or territories. This program aims to encourage and support local collaborative efforts to enhance traffic safety awareness. These initiatives are designed to reduce collisions, traffic injuries, and fatalities in Saskatchewan. Thanks to this grant, the village was able to install the speed sign on Veterans Drive. With the speed sign in place, we can have greater peace of mind, knowing that drivers will be reminded to slow down, making our streets safer for everyone.
