RM of Reciprocity’s story
The Rural Municipality of Reciprocity No. 32 sits in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan. It incorporated as a rural municipality on December 11, 1911.
Its name comes from the Reciprocity Treaty, a free trade agreement that was a hot election issue in 1911. The treaty was defeated that year, and Wilfrid Laurier's government went down with it. The name was suggested by J. Adolph Lemay, who was the RM's secretary at the time.
Today the RM surrounds the village of Alida, where the municipal office is located, and includes the localities of Cantal and Nottingham. Its economy is based on agriculture and oil.
