'Prud'homme' is a village in the
Canadian province of
Saskatchewan. Formerly known as Howell, it was later named after the bishop Msgr. Joseph H. Prud'homme. The community is mostly based on agriculture.
The population is mostly made up of
Ukrainian,
Hungarian,
Polish and
Fransaskois communities.
French is widely spoken among many of the older generations. There has been an increase in French speakers among the youth due to the francophone school of École Providence, in the nearby town of
Vonda.
