Gladmar is a Dissolved village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Highway 18 as it runs east from Highway 6 towards Lake Alma. Gladmar is approximately 18.4 kilometres (11.4 mi) north of the Canada–United States border. It is part of the Rural Municipality of Surprise Valley No. 9 and Census Division No. 2.
Gladmar is one of two urban communities within the rural municipality, the other one being the village of Minton. The area was settled around the turn of the 20th century, a period when a large number of Norwegians migrated into Saskatchewan from older settlements in the northern United States. As a result, Norwegian-Canadians still represent a substantial proportion of the population in the area today.
