I lived there in 1991-1993 I was 7 when we moved, I loved playing on the streets and woods. Camping at twin lake and collecting wild raspberries. Fond memories 😌

I'm a part of the school photograph! Thank you for photos of Ocean Falls I've never seen before, including one of the Pine apartment building under construction. I lived there with my parents on the first floor and our kitchen window over looked the Catholic Church next door.

Hopefully the TV reception is better now. The town had a lot of issues in 76

[@Buzzard1]

I lived there as a pre schooler.

I miss this show

Former Premier Bill Bennett and the Social Credit party shut Ocean Falls down in 1980 when they came to power. I was born there in 1963. My family moved back there in 1973 when the town was opened back up.

It's got a desirable climate. It's hard to get to for most. The few things for sale are asbestos death traps. It's too bad ocean falls checks a lot of boxes for me.

Is Ocean Falls on Vancouver Island ? That’s a beautiful area .

[@wingsovercanada]

Ocean Falls is on an inlet to the north of Vancouver Island, not far from the towns of Bella Bella and Bella Coola. As far as I know, it can only be accessed via boat or plane, although you can bring your car there by using BC Ferries.

@@wingsovercanada thank you . You should check out Kitsault BC it’s amazing . Another ghost town

[@wingsovercanada]

@@simonmarshall19 We visited that one, too, in not one but three episodes. In fact the owner of Wings Over Canada even bought the town. A promotional video is right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYLOeolultiqrNU

Its located in Cousins Inlet on the mainland coast@@wingsovercanada

My father actually lived there! And his reason for leaving Ocean Falls was how mean everyone was. As an example, he told me that everything was sarcastic so if someone said "Good morning" it would mean the opposite.

[@jonminnella4157]

i worked at a place like that terrible feeling

[@michaelb9529]

Couldn't have been there during its heyday. One giant community. Olympic size pool. Baseball leagues, even had a decent movie theatre. The hotel there Martin Inn was noting short of world class. Above the falls there are a series of lakes known as Link Lakes. The fishing there was just a good as in the ocean. There were 2 parts. The main town and a couple of miles west was Martin Valley the homes there were privately owned.

What year was this filmed?

[@wingsovercanada]

1998

[@smhbanana]

@@wingsovercanada It's very interesting to see the difference from a more recent video I just watched. The buildings have decayed quite a lot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaLRXoSjpL1-aq8

[@wingsovercanada]

@@smhbanana I noticed that. Yet I can still recognise some of the places your friends have revisited.
