Hague is growing due to its relatively low cost of living compared to Saskatoon. However, the town's connection to the farming community remains strong. It has a school, arena (with hockey and curling), grocery store, hardware store, Credit Union, post office, one restaurant, two gas stations, and a vehicle dealership. Construction on Highway 11 North was completed July 2011, twinning the Highway between Hague and Saskatoon.[citation needed]
