Having lived in southern Saskatchewan and seen most of these towns in the mid sixties this really makes me so very heart broken to see this today. The years have taken their toll, life is forever changing. We are only left with fond memories of a the beautiful time we had ... never to come back but forever grateful. Really enjoyed your visits.

My family lived in Kayville in the early to mid-20th century. Everyone there was Romanian - that area housed the largest Romanian population in Canada for a long time. Hundreds of folks lived there, and thousands around that part of the province.

In the 80s we lived in de Sask. and one Sunday we took a ride into the sw corner of Moose Mtn Prov Ark. we came upon an old school house. As there wasn’t a no trespassing notice we ventured. There were still old desks and amazingly many school books. Upon examination we discover that many of them were from Ontario School Districts. No doubt they were sent during the 30s Great Depression as Sask schools couldn’t often pay the Teachers let alone buy books. Everyone interested in Sask history during that period should read Max Braithwaite’s book “Why Shoot the Teacher” as it’s a true journal of teaching in one room school’s during the depression.

Sadly, most of the smaller farms and land have been bought out by larger farms or taken over by corporations. You used to see a farm or two every couple miles, I was there driving around last year and now it's one every 5 miles, and often no one lives there anymore, the yards are full of granaries. That's what happened to the farm where I grew up, the farms where my grandparents and cousins and friends lived, and around the town just 7 miles away. There are a few small hamlets and villages that are being populated again, by people who just want to get out of the cities. No kids though, schools are too few and far between, now. You have to be either financially able, or if you have to work, work remotely. In the little hamlet I stayed in (a friend's summer property) all the good wells were dried up and the ones that were left were sulfur water, so all of the 15 people who lived in the hamlet had a rainwater catchment system and a water treatment unit for the well water. It's definitely do-able but takes a bit of work to get settled once you find a place.

wow, watching this video makes me sad as I grew up in rural Sk during the 50's and 60's...left after joining the military in 1963. I did return to Hodgeville often during leave and this town is still there but fading with a population of around 80. Nearby towns such as Bateman and Kelstern are now the same as in this video. In fact, when I last visited and took a trip over to Kelstern, there was nothing left other than a small community center. Just a suggestion to Chris Attrell, you might want to visit the Hodgeville area and do up a video of the various towns that are fading fast, Other ones are Flowing Well (no longer there), Neidpath, Shamrock, Saint Boswells, Dendron, Hollinquest, Braddock, and many others. A long time ago, these communities were busy little centers.....btw, thank you for doing these videos.......

I also thought it was kind of cool how Gailee is divide by the highway. I did take at the old store. If I remember correctly there is a old cairn around there somewhere for the school. However I have to say not all these places are ghost towns as people still live in a few of them.

lotta these towns were places we went to for parts, fuel, food and sundries back when I was a farm kid in the 60's and 70's. Visited a few in the last several years and it is kinda heartbreaking to see the demise. But there is a certain beauty in abandonment. And if you remember the place as it was well, there may be some emotion. And a bunch of towns managed to hang on. Small towns are not yet dead.

I find it so depressing. Where I grew up they don't even have sports days in all the towns and individual old rural one room schools that were dotted everywhere. I doubt anyone even keeps them up anymore. I don't know what the kids that still exist in my old stomping grounds do. In summer I played ball, dances and weddings, went to the lakes in the Qu'Appelle Valley, e plowed backroads and Turkey trails, bush parties (doubt those exist) drive in movies, I know that doesn't exist. Winter was skiing, from broomball curling, skating you name it. As long as I could get off the farm I did it, including school and work of course. It's just sad now. Last time I went to the farm somehow I knew it would be the last. I'm sure there are now more ghost towns that living ones now. To me it's depressing and sad, I don't see anything beautiful in death of an entire province.

What a cool look at Ghost Towns. Some wooden buildings look like they're from the Wild West. Cowboy Timber.

I loved searching through abandoned houses in saskatchewan with my mom dad and brother in the 80s. My great grandma had an abandoned farm in Hepburn Sask that was scheduled for fire fighter practice in the 90s. Probably gone now. But I got to see it before it was gone :_ Thanks for sharing. Neat lfashbacks

I wanted to go to Lashburn this summer but plans changed so i will try again in 2024, my Dad, Roy Jones grew up there. When he was alive i kept asking him if he wanted to do a road trip back to Lashburn, but he always recoiled in horror, i know he had a rough childhood, no money, no food alot of the time, his father left to work in the mines but never returned, started a new family and then died in a car accident. Sad stories from the past.

Hi Chris, would you mind answering a question for me? Do you have any thoughts about how small a town has to become before the final decline is inevitable and/or already on its way? I'm poor because I'm disabled and I'm trying desperately to figure out a place to move my family to so we don't wind up homeless. I want to buy since rents are skyrocketing everywhere. So I thought somewhere in decline might be my answer but then I don't really know how to tell if a community is big enough, or otherwise situated in such a way as to remain viable at least until my son is able to go away to post secondary. Any advice?

Most of the decline already happened after trains and grain elevators left. Towns are now slowly recovering if they did not die. Places like Empress, AB and Leader, SK that people thought we done, are now doing fine.

Hey Burny: there are quite a few real estate “deals” out this way. Some places have traded hands in Richmound for as little as 18 grand. Modest roof over your head and huge treed yards and an hour away from A Costco.

Looks like the old Christ Lutheran Church near Francis, but I remember it being more east than north. The congregation built a new building on the east side of Francis in the 1950s.

Mazenod would be a good one to do. Family had a farm just a few minutes south. Lots of summers spent there in the 90s as a kid, I doubt 25+ people live there back then. Haven't been in that area in a good 10 years. Cool town/hamlet though.
