The Mission Ridge Ski Hill, located just south of the town near the Treaty 4 Grounds, is open during the winter and is patronised by ski-enthusiasts from the valley and environs and from Regina and elsewhere in the region.  On the July long weekend Mission Ridge plays host to Rockin' the Ridge, a one-day country/rock music festival.

Recently, Fort Qu'Appelle and area were host to the 2007 [[Keystone Cup]] during 12–15 April. The Keystone Cup is the Junior "B" ice hockey championship and trophy for [[Western Canada]]. The home town host, Fort Knox hockey club, placed 2nd and won the silver medal in the event. The town accommodated players, coaches, parents, and fans during the event. "The Fort Qu'Appelle Falcons, a midget-level team made up of 16- and 17-year-olds," finished the 2008–2009 season in first place and without any major infractions.<ref>{{cite book
