Ghost Towns South Of Regina, Saskatchewan

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.

The highlight of the video for me was all the old churches. They were beautiful whether restored or abandoned.

I’ve lived here almost all my life, but this video and all the beauty you showcase here really hit me. Like too many my age growing up in the city, I’ve taken all but the living skies for granted, now I’m so intrigued to see my province and feels like I now truly appreciate it

The winters in Saskatchewan can be downright spiritual, and BRUTAL. (To understand Canada, see her in January. And no, Canada is NOT Ottawa nowadays.)

I enjoyed the video and gave it a 👍🏼 , as someone who drove a 18 wheeler for 42 years I loved drivings through Northeastern US and Atlantic Canada especially late at night on those old lonesome roads and especially during a snowstorm ! I lived in a town of only a few hundred folks during the 1980’s & 90’s so thanks for the tour of Saskatchewan ghost towns ! Keep up the great work !

The Horizon Church is used by the Ogema railway tour for their meal offering. Highly recommend! It was some of the best brisket I've ever had!

When big farms buy up small farms, towns disappear because the people have left the area. I have always said that many people make a community.

Chris, I always find your videos are very grounding/humbling. It doesn't take much to realize how nature provides for us but she also takes things back after humans have left them untouched; especially with the weather extremes here in SK!

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.

I’m a BC girl so is cool to see you beautiful little prairie towns.

Thank you for showcasing my stomping grounds. Khedive and Kayville both hold a special place in my heart, through the history of both sides of my family.

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.

Beautiful images. The vast expanses of fields that meet the horizon line, the colors of the landscape, and the Saskatchewan skies! Everything brought me back 63 years to my childhood in Melville. Thank you for the reigniting the fond memories.

How do you not have a million subs? Great footage, tons of history, and you respect ownership. Fantastic.

I loved some of the places here, great for landscape photography helped by the wide open spaces. 👍

i love to go such places where abandoned things whispers telling their stories what they ve been through !

Another awesome video! My mom used to live in Kayville and Crane Valley, we drove down around there about 2 years ago, I was blown away with how cool everything was to look at

This is a great video Chris. Very interesting to tour these abandoned towns with you and hopefully one day I can go visit some of them myself.

I must be nuts, because I see great possibilities for homesteading in all of these places. Good soil and some water is all you really need.

I wanna move back so bad and live in one of these wide-open spaces with no neighbours, ha! The only town I recognized was Froude (frowd) and I’m sad to see there’s only 1 family left now.
