The highway then heads north to the beginning of Montreal River where the original community of Molanosa was located and then continues north to its northern terminus at Highway 165. Highway 969 comes within a few hundred metres of the exact geographical centre of the province of Saskatchewan, which is near the community of Molanosa.[2]
