Of course, there is more going on in Weyburn than a new coffee shop. It’s well known in these parts—and by MoneySense, which pegs it as the fifth best city in the country. Weyburn lives up to its motto as “The Opportunity City.” Most cities would welcome the sorts of challenges that plague this town of 11,400 less than an hour from the U.S. border.
