Scope and Content: Excerpt from E.T. Russell's What's in a Name? The information about the source of Wollaston Lake's name - that it was likely named for a township in Hastings County, Ontario - is incorrect. Based on research by Bill Barry, the name honours "George Hyde Wollaston, a member of the governor's committee of the Hudson's Bay Co. at the time the lake was visited and named by Peter Fidler in 1807" (People Places: Contemporary Saskatchewan Place Names, 2003)
