The first board of trustees for the school included: Ben Rush, George Scott, and John Ashdown. The Secretary-Treasurer was Herbert Mansell. Stoney Creek's first teacher was George Mackey who taught a class of sixteen students the school's opening year. The school house was a central part of the community. Often political meetings, concerts, church services, and social event were held there. In 1912 a barn was added to the school grounds and in 1938 a teacherage was built. An icehouse was in use during the school's early years, but was eventually sold in 1935. Stoney Creek school closed in 1964 and students from the district were bussed to Melfort, Saskatchewan to attend classes.

In July of 1902 the Melfort, Saskatchewan town-site was surveyed. Soon afterward, in April of 1904, the first ratepayers' meeting was held to discuss village affairs. The village grew quickly and in 1907 Melfort was declared a town. In the same year, on July 16th, the first local election was held and the following positions were filled: Mayor- G. B. Johnston, Councilors- Dr. Hatton, J. T. Carney, Wm Armstrong, J. J. Greenwood, and Duff Nesbitt. In 1980 Melfort was declared a city under the mayorship of Arnold Orr. Melfort currently has a population of approximately six-thousand people. The city has three standing council committees: Planning & Development, Legislative & Finance, and Works & Utilities and eight departments: Administration, Finance, Planning, Economic Development, Leisure Services, Protective Services, Public Works, Utilities.

The Moose Jaw Co-Ordinating War Services Council was established in 1940. Officers were J.W.A. Poulton, chairman, J.R. Castle, treasurer, and H.C. Morgan, secretary. Records and scrapbooks were kept by Mrs. Olive (Philip H.) West, chairman of the Parcel and Records Committee.
The Council operated the War Services Club for all branches of the armed forces. It was located in the Bank of Montreal Building on Main Street and Fairford Street East. It was established to provide recreation and a social centre for all servicemen, Canadian and those from overseas, who were being trained at the Service Flying Training Schools (S.F.T.S.) in Moose Jaw and area from 1940 to 1944. Through contacting the Club, citizens hosted servicemen for dinners and entertainment on Sundays and holidays.
The Moose Jaw War Service Auxiliary and the Moose Jaw War Services Council Parcel and Records Committee had nearly 2500 names on its mailing list for regular parcel service. They collected goods and money for parcels to be sent to Canadian troops. Much was directed through the Red Cross. Later, the Welfare Committee of the Council would meet “hospital” trains and supply the soldiers with some comforts.
Following the closure of the numerous training camps and the departure of many servicemen, the facility in the Bank of Montreal Building was closed. The Council continued to function, particularly the committees in charge of records, parcels, welfare, and welcoming troops home. The last reports were issued in 1946.
