The name Tugaske is inspired by a Cree word and ever since the village was named by the CPR railway company, we have proudly heralded this "Good Land, Good Water, Good People". More recently nicknamed "Gateway to Lake Diefenbaker", Tugaske is located on highway 367 which provides a connection from Moose Jaw and Highway 2 for traffic heading to and from the Lake.

A novel point of interest is the village of Tugaske is one of the few Canadian geographical locations to have an impact crater on the planet Mars named after it. The crater is approximately 31 kilometers in diameter; located at 32.1°S, 101.2°W. Its name was approved by the International Astronomical Union in 1991.
