Punnichy’s history

Collection

Punnichy sits along Highway 15 in the heart of the Touchwood Hills, about 126 kilometres northeast of Regina. It grew up on the main Canadian National Railway line as part of the original "Alphabet Line," with Lestock to the east and Quinton to the west. Other towns on that line, the M, N and O stops, have long since been deserted.
