called Beaver Creek House on the Assiniboine River one and a half miles above the mouth of Beaver Creek. (1816-1819) In the same year (1816) the NWC moved its fort to a hill on the south bank of the river 300 yards west of the original site. The post was closed in 1819 and in 1821 whatever was left was taken over by the HBC's Beaver Creek House. The Fort Esperance National Historic Site located nearby () was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1944. The XY post was a mile down river on the south bank. The location of the Qu'Appelle lake site is unknown. One source suggests Round Lake 35 km west.
