Saskatchewan Small Town Road Trip | Dundurn, Kenaston + Corner Gas

[@chrisgray6988]

Drove across Canada once and the Saskatchewan sky was the best part of the trip...will be back again just for the prairie sky

[@tomtheman5154]

So nice you’re able to spend time with your Dad this summer. Nice daughter and nice Dad! We love you more for being a thoughtful daughter, Alina!

[@rahulrasam]

Your small town videos are some of my favorites, and this one's no exception. An excellent and insightful video overall 👏

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw thank you so much!

[@shapeoftimes]

You are right, they're mine too! I live in Toronto and love seeing these!

[@chuckeelhart1746]

I love how you honour and respect your father!

[@wangzh2k]

Saskatchewan is so beautiful in summer.

[@Urbizzo]

I must say thank you Alina. These videos from your home environment are really good. As a viewer, you bring me closer. Hope you understand. Closer to your feeling your upgrowing. These videos are more personal. And I thank you for that. And the music is good. Aspecially thanks for the scene when you fly the drone and the train and the whisseling song. Oh you are good. And thank you. Please go on beeing "the special beautiful you". And many thanks to your dad, for making this possible. Just beeing himself!

[@flightsoflife]

The small towns are the heart of Saskatchewan… they’re a constant wherever you go, and the heart of Saskatchewan would be gone if those towns were ever destroyed. And yes, I was raised and still live in small town Saskatchewan! 😂

[@kwkjag]

Another beautiful portraya of Canada! The music you had here was just perfect too like some of your other Canadian vids! Felt like I was watching scenes from a full feature movie :). Usually I think of mountains as more scenic, but you really captured the beauty of the prairie here. Best part of my day 🙂!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad you liked it!

[@charlesharnois3684]

Always wanted to visit the prairie provinces, I think they are beautiful! Definitely on my bucket list! Life is better on back roads, Thanks for posting this video!

[@goonboknamja]

I am glad I can see you in Saskatchewan again! I am still hauling grains from small towns everywhere in SK:)

[@alang.santos1841]

Thanks for showing the real Canada and not just the famous places and cities. God Bless You always.

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

A Saskatchewan trip small town road trip is a stunning way!❤️❤️

[@pradeepsao4951]

*GOD BLESS MY FAVOURITE TRAVEL KZbinR AND HER DAD!*

[@explorersaskvalley2802]

Really well done. I love when you highlight the small towns of Saskatchewan.

[@davewarren5294]

My father was born in Benito Manitoba. My grandparents had a farm there back then . My grandfather was Polish/ Ukrainian it does my heart good to see these videos . It reminds me of the summers we would visit my great grandparents who lived on the Canadian Prarie

[@pauldumont5625]

A few good places to visit is the great sand dunes south of leader. Also Castle butte and ogema which is south of rouleau. Claybank is near that too

[@NormanF62]

I have lived in small towns since my father passed away. I feel relieved and happy I don’t have to think that I miss my beloved parents and begin shedding tears again over a past I can’t bring back. So I can relate to your growing up in small town Saskatchewan. The best thing about small town life is knowing nothing bad happens living in it and I have no regrets about where I’ve spent a good part of my life. Your video conveys a pastoral delight that’s the opposite of the reality of our world. Its like a dream you never want to wake up from.

[@gkm202]

Beautiful country side blog. Alina, your dad is very gentleman. He is very humble and camera shy.

[@sandralong333]

Love your Dad’s farmer tan. 😀

[@huboftruthbymichael1921]

You were not kidding when you said that you like to go off the beaten path!! Actually, I personally love these video's of small town living just as much as the big city excitement. There is so much of this world that people miss and get the wrong impression of all the different sides of living in the world. I know that you will cover them all, and always make the trip the most interesting. Loved the music you used here, and for sharing what you saw through your eyes. Continue being safe, and enjoy every minute of your time in Canada !! Cheers!!! ❤😊

[@AlinaMcleod]

I’m very glad to hear that. My pleasure!

[@rexradar9297]

Great to see tours of rural Sask. The short & welcoming elevator in Kenaston (your pronounceantion was slightly off, but nobodys going to bother you too much about it.), was tore down shortly after this video was shot. It was used, as pointed out by your dad for the farms' grain storage and as a seed cleaning plant.

[@pawancheekmarican320]

Altough I live in a big town, I enjoy your road trips to small towns with your dad. There is that sense of tranquility present in small towns. Good for a short holiday.

[@grhmnz4648]

Absolutely loved this video showing the small towns . Your Dad is a real star .

[@darellnewsome4459]

Somehow I am catching up watching but another great video Alina. The weather can be so unpredictable everywhere.

[@Musfiq77]

nice to see, I enjoy watching such a small town, very neat and clean. your father is a very gentle and cool person, respect to him

[@naturalexplorer]

You do a great overview of all your travels. Have only travelled through Saskatchewan on the train long ago so really good to get an better idea of the place. Love that you go exploring with your Dad. Fantastic.

[@devaj.singhacaliforniausa9245]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video! Your dad is so cute! And you are so beautiful my sister

[@r_a_]

Your dad's carefree and absolutely normal way of being in the vlog was amusing 😀His no nonsense attitude reminded me of the kid named Luke from Impractical Jokers. In that episode the Jokers have a challenge to leave Luke with a stranger. Your dad gave a vibe like Luke.

[@stevendelavaux1426]

Just discovered you and this channel. Love your content on Canada. Haven't watched any non-Canada content yet. Love how close you are to your parents. Cheers.

[@nature_photography_yukon]

Beautiful road trip, love prarie small towns and the old elevators against the prarie skies. Nice seeing the trains rolling through the farmlands. Thanks for sharing Alina and Gordie. :)

[@AlinaMcleod]

Many thanks! :)

[@D_R_Martin]

I love Corner Gas. Having grown up in small town Idaho, I saw so many parallels in the humor and ways of thinking. Anyway, enjoyable adventure, as usual.

[@karenschneberger2655]

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and Corner Gas was one of my favorite comedies! Appreciated that there was no "canned laughter" imbedded in the show!

[@highway2heaven91]

Small town Canada and small town America are a lot alike

[@garyholt8315]

@@karenschneberger2655 agreed, no laugh track is so appealing!

[@ranhawes]

My favourite little town in Sask is Lumsden just north of Regina. Nice town with a river running through it.

[@roderickmorrison]

Gosh. Getting a little weepy as I watch this remembering my boyhood in SK.

[@chrissvenningson1747]

So much to actually see. I love it. Thank you !!

[@rig4365]

13:57 love the train footage! and the prairie footage.

[@dennismartin7391]

Love your choice of music Alena! Nice to see how you are doing, also. My kids went to school with you in Kinistino. Keep smiling and looking for your rainbow. :)

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you very much!

[@busters299]

missing you Alina followed you Vlogs 26 country already .Thanks for take me to see so many different thing around the worlds Good luck.

[@luke83rj]

This video increases to me the sensation that Canada, being such a giant country in size, is so scarcely populated. I imagine what those roads look like in the winter seeing white snow until the eyes can see.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yes winter driving in SK especially can be crazy with the weather.

[@davidkgreen]

Saskatchewan had more rural population in 1939.Many areas around the world are much the same,Russia and many others.Lately there has been a movement back to the land for obvious reasons.

[@nomadclient4047]

But so many lockdowns for so long, do depressing. Canada.

[@deitrestolbert4442]

How old is your dad? He gets around well and looks healthy living in Sask..👍 and still driving road trips 💪

[@deitrestolbert4442]

Nice flat country site 👍

[@user-deaaa]

Wow, I love Canada so much ❤

[@SufiyaBibi-n1b]

Video so beautiful.Thankyou and your daddy.beautiful view and sing asong by gitterman.congrat your small town.

[@darrellmartin5753]

Excellent trip, glad you're a Canadian resident again. I hope it is temporarily sufficient relative to your wandering nature.

[@AlinaMcleod]

haha it's always nice to come back for a while

[@highway2heaven91]

The towns in Saskatchewan resemble the towns in other parts of Canada 👍 I also love how the landscape shifts from a mix of prairie and forest in the first two towns to almost complete steppe as you go further south, a beautiful natural feature that continues across the border all the way to Western Texas. Thanks for the tours.

[@luizaugusto683]

Nice video. It gives us a glimpse of how a rural part of Canada and its small towns look like. The easy going way as you present combines with the atmosphere existent in the places shown.

[@brianwray4320]

My favorite videos of yours is with your dad in these small towns in Canada!

[@davemagrel3349]

I remember bing in Dundurn 66 years ago when I was 15 training one summer at the military basis as a Cameron Highlanders Cadet from Winnipeg nice video

[@bmurray7248]

My Dad was the CO of Camp Dundurn 1969-1971. I was 6 when we left. Cool to see Dundurn some day I’ll go back for a look. I will definitely check out Big Murr’s

[@AdrianBoyko]

Spent all my time in the area between Edmonton, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, and Melfort, so this is a trip into very mysterious, exotic locations!

[@BaldyMcBaldface]

Wonderful video of small-town Saskatchewan! For the record, it's pronounced Roe-low. I have to travel around the province a lot for my job and I love it!

[@gerrycain7901]

Lived in P.A.,Allan,used to travel every weekend to somewhere different,fished and flew round Central Saskatchewan lakes,East End,Watson,pleasant dale and many more,loved them all especially the people

[@martinvanoene7192]

Appreciate the beauty of the vastness of the prairie. Its a beauty of a special kind. Drove through in 89 .

[@MrJibaro]

Lovely as always. I love road trips and I am trying to convince my daughter to do one with me again.

[@timw4369]

Small town Saskatchewan is the heart of the country. Wonderful video Alina

[@helenforrestal580]

I was raised in Viscount, not far from Dundurn. Viscount is almost off the map now, heartbreaking to see it, not even a cafe left and it was booming when I left in 1956.

[@Triussk61]

Your Pops is way Cool! You always put out great perspective on life no matter what part of the world we find you!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you!

[@sfcpaulfowle1906]

I love small towns - thank you for taking us through them. It’s great to see your dad in the video. Love that region you are in and definitely like to visit that portion of providence. Alina my again your videos are great.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks very much, Paul!

[@chris24j48]

This is what they mean byWide open plains - like the music and tour

[@davidreid3634]

You captured "it".......the feel of Saskatchewan. Saskatoon will always be my home.....TNX

Awe i loveee corner gas!:) wish i could've gone there when the set was still up...

[@ELEcomments]

Our country is awesome and your dad is a straight up sort of guy. I'd like to have a beer with him one of these days. Cheers from The Rock !!!👍

You are a sweetheart. On your last video I requested you a vlog on Regina and here you are on a road trip to Regina. ❤️ Such an adorable darling.. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

When you drive through the small towns of Saskatchewan. They all have a certain charm to them. it all goes back to that notion that if you live in one. Everybody knows your name. Thank you for a wonderful road trip. You too Gordy Magoo. Sending you lots of love 💖💖💖 Harriet, Jim and Yuki . Richmond. Va.

[@AlinaMcleod]

That is very true ☺️

[@sarahtschettter6490]

I lived about 3 miles east of Dundurn on a colony, in the late 60s n middle 70 s till I married away , but still have relatives there , to me it still feels like home ❤

[@martinb8337]

You've taught me almost everything I know about an ever-growing list of places around the world. With Saskatchewan there is no "almost": every town I can name is because of a video on your channel. And every sitcom :) The skies are immensely beautiful, both in good weather and bad...

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw I'm so glad :)

[@gtvezina]

What a lovely daughter to have, you are a lucky man!

[@ronnovak1612]

I concur with many others, love the small town journeys. Another great video!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you!

[@yevhenkalinichenko1983]

Thanks for the video and for reminding me of that great show.

[@samuelrodriguez5033]

Alina and her dad are awesome. Great video. Dundurn reminds me of beautiful Kansas full of cornfields and no mountains but so beautiful in its own way. Many blessings to you both.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks, Samuel!

[@awakensmagadalene3838]

Thank you so much Alina McLeod.

[@nickbakker6963]

Hi Alina and dad! Thanks for taking us along on your travels! Fun! The town where Corner Gas was filmed is pronounced ROW-LOW. I wasn't aware that the gas station and Ruby had been removed! That's too bad because it certainly was a great tourist stop!! I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you and dad on more travels!!

[@mmilk21060]

Enjoy your time with your dad. Great videos of Canada. I know that Corner Gas has an app that would show you all the sites. Take care and keep being who you are.

[@mmilk21060]

Maybe sometime when around Calgary can show us the area Heartland is filmed in.

[@balazs2000]

Loved the video. The countryside in North America with all these peaceful small towns, the grain elevators, long freight trains and of course the tractors 🚜 it's great. Love to be there every time I can.

[@pauldumont5625]

Rouleau is pronounced row low. The hotel and bar used in corner gas is there still. The gas station and police station are gone. A vast majority of the interior shots for the show were shot at the studio in regina.

[@leah436]

My Dad grew up in Arcola, Sask., and we went there every summer (from Alberta) to visit my grandparents. This video brought back so many memories of driving through SK, those small towns and flat prairies. I'm now living in New Zealand and I'm really homesick as I haven't been able to get back there for a few years. Thanks for showing your travels!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw I'm so glad!

[@ebince]

Thanks for sharing this video Miss Alina.Cool 👌 small but very peaceful town (Dundurn) regards to your Dad.👋Kenanston wow only 300's people living there...love the scenic view of canola farm.

[@jerryaschenbrenner712]

I always enjoy tagging along with you Alina. I was born and raised in Saskatchewan and moved to Alberta when I was 18 - 64 years ago. I live in Calgary with a population of 1.4 Million; about 400,000 more than the Province of Saskatchewan. SK definitely has a charm all of its own - a good lot of that because of the great people that call it home.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Definitely a very special place

[@alaysmindow1091]

Always love for you both!

[@TT-zd6nr]

That war memorial in Kenaston shows 6 names. In my English village (pop 450 since the 1100s and not changed much) the cenotaph shows 14 names. Likely a similar proportion of the young men. I took an interest as my Dad fought with the Canadian division in Normandy

[@tml9174]

Alina, I know that history often gets buried in time, but growing up in Saskatoon, whenever people mentioned Dundurn, they mentioned how many men and women were trained there at the Dundurn military base for WWII. I wonder if there are any plaques or commemorative displays showing the strength of the people that trained there to be sent off overseas to fight and fly planes.

[@TheSteveRobinson]

I did some training in Dundurn ( Dirty Deeds Dundurn Cheap) back in the 80's.

[@larrybxl5406]

Did several road trips Edmonton - Saskatoon in the period 1984-87

[@AgeCobra]

Hope you and your dad had a great time.

[@robertgreene7653]

this series is real canada adventure. exploration, discovery and just in general seeing what there is to see in the world around us. great work, more adventure large and small please.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you!

[@cristianalvarez3769]

Good music selection for this video Alina!!! I enjoyed

[@AlinaMcleod]

Glad you liked it!

[@TROTakingitEasy]

It's interesting watching this video from a year ago. I was hoping to see what Rouleau looked like now, since we were there in 2007 and the set was still there. (It is available on google maps) Although we took pictures, I don't think we have any video from back then. It is my understanding the set was destroyed by fire and that is the reason it was removed. We do have various video on our channel during our trips in Saskatchewan. I am an original 1960's Saskatchewan farm boy from the Carrot River area. Love your videos.

[@justdustino1371]

Oh yeah, that is really pretty country! I don't blame you for driving on, tornados are very dangerous. I am sure people will move out of the cities in the future, to places like that. That tavern had a photo of Jack Nicholson in The Shining! When he burst through the door with an ax and said "Here's Johnny!" ....😅😆

[@DavidL23.]

Hi Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a wonderful day! This is really a excellent magnificent super fantastic video! 😄👍❤️👏🇨🇦📹🥇💯💫✨🌟 The town of Dundurn and Kenaston looks really marvelous! Also the scenery view of the land is so magnificent! It is really beautiful! I would definitely like to visit the towns in Saskatchewan one day. They are really wonderful places! Thank you so much Alina to share with us this marvelous fantastic video! You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🧳🗺🥇💯🏆💫✨🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful beautiful marvelous blessed day. Take care and be safe Alina. 😊🙏❤️👋🇨🇦👍✨🌟

[@bobkleinsasser]

Travelled these roads many a time since I lived in Regina for 33 years and brought up on a farm north of Biggar!

[@melsvids73]

Hi Alina I really enjoyed watching your new videos on Western Canada. I am going on my first trip ever to Vancouver in couple of weeks! ..In fact I think your videos on Canada and Europe is your best work. Sask. seems like really nice to visit, I always get comments from my friends here in Toronto, "Oh Saskatchewan there's nothing to see!" well I am certainly going to tell them to watch Alina Mcleod's videos on KZbin! And your Dad seems really cool, very good comedy relief! 👍🏻 p..s I am writing this on Sept 5, day after the terrible tragedy in Sask. I hope your Dad and everyone in Sask. is doing ok from fellow Canadian in Toronto. 😥 ~ Melissa from Toronto

[@johngonzalez4298]

Happy Saturday from Miami, Florida, USA 🇺🇲

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! I'm enjoying the small-town scenic road trip from Saskatoon to Regina with you and your dad! In the day did not frequently travel to Regina. But several times we did venture out to Mount Blackstrap on the outskirts of Dundern. Mount Blackstrap is/was one of world's few artificial mountains (the 'pimple on the Prairie'), originally created as a ski hill for the Canada Winter Games. It's nice to see the wide-open Prairie sky and landscape once again!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Haha nice, I didn’t know blackstrap had that nickname

[@TCXGamer]

Alina Mcleod , I really like your videos , i saw most of them . keep going with this great videos . also you may add more videos about canada for the ppl who are new in it . have a good day .

[@alexykong9378]

Small towns, quaint, interesting, less stressful, getting used to be living in them!# Cool!#

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Just wonderful! Road trips are my passion and this awesome video is amazing and shows the endless panoramas of Canada and this small town is truly nice. Also here in Italy people are leaving big countries for smaller little towns Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with your lovely dad.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Aw thanks so much, Gabriella!

[@NITROUSnBIASPLYS]

My favorite video, there is so many neat things to see right near Blaine lake, I could be your tour guide maybe one day 🇨🇦

[@gd3355]

The town is pronounced a rolo. I used to go there quite often when I delivered pop. I was actually delivering to the fuel station there when 9/11 happened. Never went there after or when Corner Gas was being filmed though. I have a soft spot for that part of the world but don't think I can leave the mountains. If you do another SK vid then there is always Manitou Lake which is close to Saskatoon, a lake with a higher salt and mineral content than the dead sea. There's also the big muddy area in southern SK with the giant metropolitan areas of Willow Bunch and Big Beaver. There's some pretty decent scenery, some really impressive first nation historical spots, and a few caves. Willow Bunch has a Farm Fest music festival which if you're a bit of a burnt out hippy is awesome. Then out west is the Grasslands National Park, Cypress Hills, and East End where the largest Trex in the world was found. The only issues down there are the horrible roads.

[@abderrahimdjaballah8458]

Like Always, good soundtracks choices I would to know what kinde of agricultures they do in thouse areas Keep doing your best, i love your vlogs, thank's

[@briannabee812]

I think the wide open space would be heavenly Alina and it sort of fits you to be a farmer's daughter! 😁💙💙

[@AlinaMcleod]

It sure is :)
