I posted an update earlier today in the Mid-Canada Superchargers thread about a possible new Supercharger in Davidson, SK. User @1.21 Jiggawatts says the manager confirmed that there is currently an excavator on site and that construction has started. While we are still awaiting photos, it seems that this is now “officially” under construction per Supercharge Info, so as protocol it should have its own thread. Here is the photo (screenshot from Twitter) that I posted earlier in Mid-Canada Superchargers
I posted a note in the Supercharge.info forum, but I'll repeat it here in case it was overlooked and maybe @Mr. PlugShare can fix it: The map location for the Davidson, SK Supercharger is wrong. I think this is correct using the Google Plus code: 72F4+89 Davidson, Saskatchewan, Canada or coordinates: 51.273484, -105.994108
And it’s made the headlines! Snip from a July 22nd article published in the Davidson Leader newspaper. Now it’s official! Updated Supercharge Info as well. Thanks for pointing out the error!

One of our members posted this on the Saskatchewan Electric Vehicle Association Facebook page today. Some good progress being made
That trailer is the same one from the guys doing Brandon and Portage. The fine print says they're based in Prince Albert, for whatever that's worth.
More importantly IMO is whether they’ll put in something West of Saskatoon, or if to go West you have to go Southeast first. That’s a long way around, especially if you’re headed to Edmonton. PS Whoop! It might be feasible to drive home for Christmas now? It’s been over a decade since I’ve been home for Christmas.
Was @InternetDude able to get close enough to make out the marking anywhere to point to V3 or V2? I’m not versed in the ways of conduit counting, are those that we see there in line with Moose Jaw’s? Two clusters, and a third to the side, with 6 stalls, seems like it at a glance?
I was driving through Davidson yesterday and saw them using a crane to bring in some cabinets. These are the first cabinets I’ve seen in Saskatchewan/Manitoba. On the way back through today I snapped a couple pictures of them pulling cable.
I stopped in Davidson site on my way to Edmonton, the crew is pulling cable from the transformer to the switching equipment. Great progress for the site that went up last
