Western Saskatchewan Ghost Towns

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

ghost towns or even single abandoned buildings are absolutely unthinkable here in switzerland, everything gets cleaned, renovated, or demolished and removed here. i wish we had places like these in our country, absolute magic!

[@Ivv93]

Canada is about 242 times bigger than Switzerland, so no place for comparison really, lol.

[@Youtube-Censorship-Police]

@@Ivv93 sure, yeah, but even when you cross the border to italy you instantly see abandoned buildings. my brother lives in the cantone wallis and we went to domossola by train and as soon as we left the tunnel, we were greeted by an abandoned train station, abandoned mining facilities and so on. same in germany but to a lesser extend. switzerland is just sterile.

They are magic, quiet and peaceful places. But they are way out on the prairies. Driving in these areas feels like you are crossing a vast sea. Small towns on the Canadian prairies are shrinking because of the increased mechanization of agriculture. Now to be competitive you need to farm thousands of hectares and have massive machines. Family farms are disappearing. Many of the large farms are owned by corporations (sometimes foreign backed) or Hutterite Colonies. Canada is growing in the cities but these small towns are shrinking. The economies and services are not good enough to convince young people to stay.

Saskatchewan is an interesting place. It always amazes me that people invested millions of dollars into infrastructure such as railroads and grain elevators only to have the rail lines abandoned and the elevators left to bear silent witness to the past. Alberta and Manitoba share a similar story.

[@johnmclaren7059]

Fantastic documentation of those loney towns that once were thriving communities due to farming but as generations pass and people move to the big cities the younger generation can’t afford to take over the family farms and to think of the pioneers that broke the prairie sod and developed those areas such as my grandparents, I can still hear and feel the Saskatchewan wind , the ghosts of the past still remain in those places as time passes by !

it truly is something you have to experience to believe. Some family came to visit us, we tried to warn them that where we live is remote and its a long drive to get anywhere. They are used to living in a big city so it was really difficult for them even though they were only here for a week.

I actually started off on a farm outside of Mantario, Sask. and we moved into the big town of Eatonia when I began school. My dad eventually owned a couple of businesses and was very active in the community his entire life. I loved being a child in that town.

[@islandwills2778]

I live in a town that could easily be on this list, population of about 100. When i moved here there was a small general store, restaurant and laundromat but it burned down. There are lots of old abandoned houses, warehouses and halls in my town. The school was purchased by someone and now used as some sort of a factory to build premade tiny homes. The church is privately owned. I think the town only survives because its a 10 minute drive into a larger town and 1 hour drive to Regina. 2 hour drive to Saskatoon. Still the last couple of houses that went on sale in this tiny town sold relatively quickly.

The brown elevators are really old. My dad worked in one back in 1973 and it was one of the last ones open. The old grain elevators like that often didn’t run on power but used a diesel generator to power the leg (lift for grain) and lights and had wood or oil stoves in the offices.

[@glenmiller3783]

[@katherinehunter9526]

Oh I really enjoyed this video. My mother and father bother grew up in the 30's. Meyronne Saskatchewan. Grandpa Hunter was the Telegraph operator and also the Train Station operator. My Dad his brother and sister lived their til after the Second World War. When my Dad and Uncle returned from fighting in Europe. My mom's dad had the Big Farm Machinery, plus Truck and Car dealership in town. My grandparents bother tried to give work to the thousands of men and families who would be starving, broke and either driving through or riding the rails to find work. My mother's Mom was a gem and excellent cook and baker. So after the drifters had done a days work for one or the other Grandparents they would be sent up to Grandma and she would feed them and pack a lunch for them. There was a Mark outside mom's house for drifters to know they would help and feed you! I went back with mom and the only brother or man of all the family when Saskatchewan had their Centennial Year. Mom bought the old Pipe Organ from the United Church because it was being decommissioned. The top floors of the hotel had blown off a few years back. Unfortunately after Grandpa Hunter picked up and moved to Vancouver when my Dad and his brother came back from the War which my Mom's folks had also done. The Train Station was closed down and the trains didn't stop anymore. So the elevators stopped being used and fell apart. The Hockey arena was still working well. But I've seen other videos that are of Meyronne that sadly break my heart to watch because so much is gone or overgrown. Like in these videos of yours. I remember all the sad and heroic stories my mom and others have told about those Great Depression years. All the desperation and struggles they Endured. The sacrifices they all made and how so many didn't make it. Then the War. Anyway I was hopeful that you might be going through Meyronne, Kincaid and Woodrow Saskatchewan if there is anything left. I personally want to make it out and do some digging around in the libraries in Moose Jaw and Regina to look for more information about my Grandparents and their involvement with Running Whiskey and Rye across the border for Al Capone using Grandpa's Trains! I remember them telling stories about how one Grandpa could pull a full box car from a dead stand still. While the other one could get under a Draught Heavy Horse and Stand up with the Horse on his Shoulders as he walked away with the horse on his back. Bwahahaha! Anyway now my children are all grown up I'd like to come back to where my Grandparents and parents spent those Dirty 30s and do some research and poking around myself! Thanks for this video. I'll be honest it had me tearing up as I watched. Imaging how much different it would have all looked during the Dust Bowl. Peace and Love be with you on your travels and journey 🕊💞🌅🐎🐂🏇🏼🚜🙏🏼

[@37BopCity]

Rural Saskatchewan is actually a very beautiful place, but not many people know it. It's not a major tourist destination. I love driving around it, especially in the warm spring weather. Sad to see all the towns dying off but such is "progress". The peace and quiet, the wide open spaces and rolling hills, and the meandering back roads are part of a unique environment that is very interesting to explore. While driving near Cypress Hills one day, to my amazement I saw a moose running through a farm yard. At first I thought it was a cow, but it was definitely a moose. There's a lot of wildlife and birds, and unique plants and grasses and First Nations sites from long ago. So there is more in that landscape than meets the eye, but very few people really see it.

[@attrell]

Agreed!

I'm living in Kelowna now, but as a boy in the 80's I lived in Morse Saskatchewan, between Swift Current and Moose Jaw on the #1. I used to explore abandoned houses around Morse when I went back in the 90's as a teen. I didn't know the dangers then, adult-me would be a lot more cautious about entering them. I just love imagining the lives of the families that used to live there and wonder if a piece of them still lingered about. You just don't find as many of these types of abandoned towns in BC, but the next time I go back I'd love to take some pictures.

[@rhondahoughton790Canada]

My father worked in those elevators and I spent a lot of time there as a child in the 70’s and 80’s. I can tell you they have huge pits under them for the grain to be dumped and then a mechanized leg took the grain up and into bins. If the floor in there is at all bad you could be very hurt or die. Please do not enter old grain elevators. The pits are full of metal that will be rusted and sharp. Stornoway SK by Wroxton, has an amazing old school and buildings and on HWY 8 east of there is a cool old church with a stone arch.

The concrete pads in Feudal were possibly of the former Co-op store which was the last business to close sometime in the 1990's. At that time I think the elevator had just closed and the only resident in town may have been the elevator agent or the Co-op manager. When the location closed it still had a thriving bulk fuel distribution business so the Co-op relocated to nearby Perdue and built a new Convenience store/Gas station on the highway. It remains to this date a viable business.

[@attrell]

Thanks for letting me know. That makes a lot of sense now.

[@sheikhkhalid5969]

The double rutted road by the elevators are the old train tracks. The rails and sleepers were ripped out. Whats left is just the berm and the ballast on top. North and south Dakotas have hundreds of miles of these old grain train railroads. You can see them southwest of Castleton, North Dakota. Spotted and followed one of those for about 400 miles on Google Earth.....weekend tourister in California Winter 😁 It was right after the 10th train collision at Castleton "bend" between a Nebraska grain train and a BNSF shale oil train.
