What Life Is Like In Canadian Small Towns | Hafford, Saskatchewan

- Опубликовано: 3 май 2020
- You've probably never seen THIS SIDE of Canada. Saskatchewan is right in the middle of the country and is known for being the heart of the agriculture industry. If you're thinking of immigrating to Canada or simply visiting, I hope this video will inspire you to take a visit to Saskatchewan! There are so many small towns in the province and sometimes they have a population of only a couple hundred people. The way of life is much different than life in big city, so I thought I would give you guys an inside look to life on the farm and showing the amenities of our closest town which is called Hafford. Hope you guys enjoy the video and let me know what you think in the comments! xx

To really know what it's like to be Canadian, you have to live in a small town for awhile. People are warmer, wind is colder, and you will encounter wisdom not found in books.
Small towns grow big hearts.
Well said.🌷
I'm not Canadian and nor have I ever been to Canada. I'm Mexican and I'll absolutely also agree people in the countryside are usually more simple and kinder than the people in the cities, at least with the encounters I've had. I grew up in a tiny ranch in Mexico called La Poma in the state Michoacán, people are way nicer than the snobs in the capital of Morelia and are just in general more simpler.
I think this is the best comment I have ever read on RUclips 🙏😍
@@sundayznostalgianightz6510 Shalom from Prairies Canada
Ur dad is a great person. He's a person who is supplying food to many of the people in Canada. Be proud of him.
I agree with you. Proud of your Dad.
We are from Regina, an Immigrant from Philippines, and I really appreciate how farmers in Sakatchewan invested their life, sweat amd blood, to feed the people of the world. Thanks to your Dad and to all farmers of Saskatchewan. Proud Saskatchewanian here❤
Grew up on prairies ,lots of hardship and dedication...Those hospitality culture were from Christian roots.Small town gossip & alcoholism is the downside.
I spent my first year in Canada in Saskatchewan, 7 years go. Beautiful province, with even more beautiful people. I still miss those saskatoonberry pies
So good!
Got a recipe?
@@AlinaMcleodthe good people are being replaced by,not so good and high minded..non Christians. ( where, great values and ethics form)
I hitchhiked all of Canada from coast to coast in 1973 and '74, and one the favourite parts of my trip was sleeping under the stars near Swift Current. Saskatchewan is all sky and worth a trip in itself. There's no place like it.
Your video reminds me of where I grew up, on a farm a few miles south of Tioga, North Dakota. There were only 350 people in Tioga, mostly Scandinavians and a few people of Irish and German descent, in my elementary school years, so my class only had twelve students until the seventh grade. At that time, oil was discovered and the size of my class doubled the next year with students from the oil industry in Oklahoma and Texas. We learned about new foods like grits, black eyed peas, okra, etc form them and they learned about lefse and scandinavian pastry from us. I learned to drive very young , but only on the farm. I had my first fender bender at age 11. I picked rocks, drove tractor with implements in the fields, and hauled grain in harvest season. The school which housed all grades from 1 to 12 (no kindergarten in the fifties) was the center of community activities. In a small school you can participate in all activities, including band, chorus, basketball, football, and baseball. And, you know everyone, so children have a lot of independence because all the parents know each other and look out for not only their own children, but also the children of others. In winter there was skating and cross country skiing (or behind a car) since there are no mountains. In the summers there was swimming and fishing in the lakes and streams, hunting, horseback riding, and a lot of exploring of anything and everything. We used to go fishing for pike in Saskatchewan. When I graduated from high school I went to college at the University of California, Berkeley and never returned to North Dakota, but I go back for every high school reunion. It was certainly a rewarding and lasting life experience.
Love your spirit. It is so great to see someone who has not forgotten their roots and proud of where they were from. I am originally from Malaysia and have been residing in Los Angeles for the last 35 years. I have been to small town Saskatchewan. I graduated from University of Saskatchewan. I love the simplicity and the work ethics of the Saskatchewan people. Love your videos. New to your channel.
Canadians have a unique and beautiful country 🇨🇦🇨🇦. I have been to Ontario and Quebec twice and I marveled at these extraordinary places.
Hi from Ciudad de México🇲🇽.
A Saskatchewan farmer visits Alberta:
" Ya, those mountains are pretty , but they kinda block your view! "
I love that one. Especially being from Sask.
That’s funny,my grandma from Sturgis Saskatchewan actually said that when she talked about British Columbia. Miss you nana😊
@@javawsey Drove across Southern Sask. on the Trans Canada and got extreme vertigo. Had to pull over and get out of the car and sit and force myself not to look at the horizon for about 15 minutes.
My father-in-law might have said that!
@@alanmacification Don't be a Trucker. Please.
As an American I have extensive knowledge of another town in Saskatchewan called Dog River. When you said you have a liquor store with an insurance company I laughed because so does Dog River.
Dog River? Don't you mean Rouleau? Lol
@@kirkkrieger9360 it's nicknamed dog river
and until Sears closed it was also their out let.
Lived in Saskatoon for 25 years. Beautiful city in the summer but winters are very cold. If you like wide open space, Saskatchewan is an amazing province with great people.
I imagine not that different from Michigan North Dakota where my mother spent her childhood years.
I emigrated from the U.S. when I was about 25 and I started my Canadian life in Saskatchewan. I was in university in Saskatoon, but I traveled all over the province. I loved it! Beautiful landscapes, people very friendly. I remember walking to university one -30 morning and someone just stopped and offered me a ride - just because it was cold. I recently visited Saskatoon to see a friend, just before the Covid lockdown. Fond memories! Thanks for posting this video.
My friend was walking down the street with another friend who was of Aboriginal descent and some guys driving by rolled down all the windows and leaned out doing that racist thing where you scream at a high pitch and pound on your mouth. Apparently this is very common for Aboriginal people to experience all over Saskatchewan.
Yeah. It's also common for European descended people to experience as well in Saskatchewan. Good and bad in all races so I don't get your point.
Ludwig van Beethoven that’s because your not trying hard enough to get my point and you think your one of the good ones so you have to defend yourself with statements of denial, repression, regression, projection, among all other defence mechanisms. You trying to make the argument we all face the same degree of madness in our society and that’s false. Use any metric and you will find the truth if you care to educate yourself. Your statement indicates to me that you have layers upon layers of false beliefs before you can admit that your sense of worth is fake and that your true self needs no proof. Until then, nothing I or anyone else will have anything of value to you. You and those like you unfortunately are alone and lonely but you think your not, because you make every effort to find others like yourself, commonality among peers, it’s not true relationships it’s false, an echo chamber. All your doing is reinforcing false beliefs with each other. There is nothing original in that. it’s sad really. But that’s your journey not mine. When you are able to realize that you have to stop relying on immature defence mechanisms to protect a false pride system, and see your true self maybe then we can have a conversation. Until then, my posts speak for themselves.
Ludwig van Beethoven but you’re right, Europeans do discriminate against each other too and I was already aware of that if you had read any of my other posts on this video.
Ludwig van Beethoven like the British who fought the French in Canada discriminate against French, British, not all of course but the consensus view from this ethnic group historically was ethnocentric.
Ethnicity is not a race.
Races are categorized by colour not ethnicity.
If an ethnicity is being discriminated it’s not racism it’s discrimination.
No one had any love for Irish in Europe.
But one day, you’ll get it hopefully. Just not today.
When I saw those truck seat covers I knew this was a legit Saskatchewan production. 3:54
wheelzwheela - When I saw the seat covers it reminded me of my first girlfriend fathers pick up. He too was a farmer, (Dutton, Ontario).
Thanks for posting the video, I enjoyed watching it.
Thank you, I was born and raised in Hafford and was able to show my American wife more of it.
I lived pretty close to Hafford. Do you remember The Sword (i think that the name) diner that had those massive hamburgers that you needed to order in advance
@@Sam-ImbasicallyaNPC Yes I remember it.
My mother was born there in 1919
People are so wonderful here. Love the environment of this small town.
Hi Alina,
I am actually from Hafford and although I live in Edmonton, I still have a home in town! Thanks for this!!!🌾❤️
I love you
Long time no see Carol
Grew up on a farm 15 mins East of North Battleford, wouldn't trade it for anything! Love the country! Excellent video!
Thank you so much!
I live in black lake well lived in stony from 0 to 9 we moved to pa with my family at 10 we moved back to black lake and we live at my gandpas house his name is martin broussie
I’m a Saskatoon kid but there’s nothing I love more than exploring the country side
I am applying for a job in Scott SK near north battleford. I’m amazed at the amount of houses for sale in all of these tiny towns. I’m from a small town in Ontario and we have virtually nothing for sale
Plz is there any crimes there ?
I have to say of all the people I met through out my life people from Saskatchewan by far are the nicest people ever. They are smart, so easy going, when I find out a person is from Saskatchewan i get a big smile one my face, I should visit there one day.
Moved here in 2012 from England and im still here
You would love it here. Except for the fact of the horrible winds lol
@Cory Scopis bruh “everybody”. it depends where you are in certain cities. either than the one rough neighborhood in each city, it’s a wonderful place to live
honestly not been my experience, some rather anti social people here in sask. I think its all the isolation makes some of us crazy
@@andreagervais2671 and the insects. dont forget the swarms of insects.
How nice your Dad is! He's a positive person and you must love him very much
As a fellow Ukrainian from a small town in far northern Alberta it brings a smile to my face to see some coverage on small town life in Canada. In a vast Country like Canada it feels at times that us Albertans are by ourselves in terms of a sense of community. Through all that I always remember that Saskatchewan is of similarity to Alberta in the sense of community and because of that I always see Saskatchewanians as my brothers and sisters.
Happy I came across this gem of a channel, you earned yourself a sub.
God bless.
thank you so much for this video. my grandparents ( Werezak) owned a farm north of Radisson / ( about 20 min south of Hafford.) for many many years. Hafford and Radisson are both special places to me as I still have family around Radisson. ❤❤
I remember Hafford when the bar was open and the drinks cold, the smell of fresh sausage smoking from my friends dads grocery store, the friends made and lost.......what a great town Hafford was.... I still drive by smiling at the time spent. Great video thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I really love your video, I'm from Quebec and i went on roadtrip with my bestfriend in 2017 to Banff, we've stop at a A&W in Moose Jaw on highway 1 and we were looking at a group of farmers that were at a table speaking together and we told ourself that we would love to just sit with them and speak with them about anything and they would have good stories to share but we never did it we were a bit to shy and did not wanted to bother them with our bad accent! But by watching your videos, i can see more of what i missed when i was there! Thank You!
“The man, the legend himself” love how you introduced your dad. Respect ✊ ☺️
Her dad has a sense of humor.
I loved this, Most of my family live in Saskatchewan, Unity, Moose Jaw, Bigger, like the sign says this ain't New York it's Bigger, Macklin , Saskatoon, Regina, Assiniboia, Limerick, Battle Creek, North Battelford. Thank you. You & your dad are wonderful people. When I come back I will for sure visit Hafford. Stay safe & healthy.
Old farm owner Derek farmed a small farm in Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety claimed he was not paying proper wages to his workers and sent an agent out to interview him.
“I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them,” demanded the agent.
“Well,” replied old Derek, “There’s my ranch hand from Mexico who’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $600 a week plus free room and board. The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $500 a week plus free room and board. Then there’s the half-wit hoser who works about 18 hours every day and does about 90 percent of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.”
“That’s the guy I want to talk to, the half-wit hoser,” says the agent.
“That would be me,” replied old farmer Derek.
Umm... I think I missed your point?
@@singhsaab3335 - Oh, it was just a joke, because other people were making jokes about farmers. The punchline in my joke is that the farmer is the one who is underpaid... even though he's the owner...
S Brian Treelife 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣.
Same thing goes in business. They asking how many people I have working. I told them half on a good day.
@@surreygeorge11 - So true! Nobody works as hard as the owner... and not many people are motivated to be the owner, either.
Fantastic video. Lovely to see your home town and watching it brought back a lot of memories. I was born and raised in Saskatchewan. As a kid we played hockey in a number of small towns. The rinks were in themselves communities. Often curling rinks were attached to the hockey rink. At the end of the game, regardless if we won or lost, we all looked forward to the homemade pierogies and cabbage rolls.
When I was planning for emigration, I was applying visa for Canada and Australia at the same time. Specifically, for Saskatchewan Canada and Queensland Australia. I researched a bit for both of the countries and knew a bit of them. Who ever would give me the visa first I would go there. If I went to Canada, I probably would have settled in Saskatoon. Now I am in Brisbane Australia, a hilly, warm, coastal city. Good to watch this video, for the place of my could-be home. Good to know all the friendly people there. What's interesting is, Saskatoon has a completely opposite natural environment-- it's flat, cold, in land.
I was a tourist from Ireland and visited that area in the early 1970s, spending a lot of time in Speers. Loved it.
That was awesome, I always love the small town feel and sense of community of our small towns. greetings from saskatoon.
That's just over 3 hours North from where I live. It's nice in these small rural communities,everybody knows everyone. You'd definitely have to visit this province to experience the beauty of it. I used to live in Saskatoon many years ago,had both my shoulder surgeries up there. It's nice to see you visiting your hometown, I bet your dad,and others were very happy to see you,and that beautiful smile again!
Love the video!! It’s exciting to see something like this on RUclips! I’m from the Rabbit Lake area and have been to Hafford many times! I love Saskatchewan❤️🌾
In Saskatchewan, if your dog ran away 3 days ago, you can still see it.
Good gawd that's a knee slapper haven't heard that one before !!!
In northern Saskatchewan, if your dog ran away 3 days ago, you probably will never see it again.
Yeah was visiting my cousin in AB and we were driving the countryside. We got to a spot in the road where it was just endless plains. She was like "See that? That's Saskatchewan. So now you don't have to go there."
Only if you're driving along the Trans Canada #1 Highway. Go north a couple hours. Still lots of farmland, but there are hills and poplar trees all over the place. Go north of that, it's solid spruce and pine and if you look on the map, you're still technically in the southern half of Saskatchewan (although barely). You can tell when someone isn't from here because they think of Saskatchewan as just this empty vast plain of fields. The reality is it's much more diverse than that.
Lol that's so true
Alina, You literally bring joy into my boring life. Your sweet eyes, beautiful smile and this peaceful video make me feel really good.
Yes your dad is a great person who supplies food to the peoples lives in the cities💪
And has a beautiful daughter
Just a guy who grew up in sask, admittedly the 6th biggest city, Yorkton but after my recent travels to Toronto and mexico city I know how truly different it is, and I feel lucky to have been born in one of the greatest places on earth. I encourage all to come visit and to talk to people about what there is the see here, some of the best places to visit are the ones only the locals know about. Just if you come during the colder months don't forget your bunny hug.
Sad no one else knows what a bunnyhug is!
That is so awesome. Sunday of the may long weekend and I stumble across this vid.
My family immigrated to Saskatchewan, settles in Hafford.
Very touching.
I'm Ukrainian, a baby boomer and grew up on a farm outside of Hafford. Was bused in every day attending all 12 years and have such great memories of my time growing up in this area. BUT as a young kid city life was where I was headed, living in Regina until about a year ago. Moved to a small town under 100 people (go figure) and loving it. Great video, felt good seeing Hafford highlighted. 💓
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed watching it. Love the back to basic in living and life.
Fun to see a town and area where I spent many summers visiting my grandparents who immigrated from Ukraine. My mother (Halia Bahniuk) was born and raised on a homestead a few miles out of Hafford and we had many relatives to visit in the town proper as well as Redberry and Blaine Lake. I still remember the many hall dances for reunions and weddings, some abundant gardens, picking Saskatoon berries and sitting around the kitchen with the aunts eating homemade bread, with butter and jam. Have to mention Saskatchewan has some of the nicest lakes in Canada. Hey cousins!
Thanks for the “tour”. video like this help us to see outside of our home city while unfortunately being in a lock down
Very nice video, my dad was born on a farm north of there and for fun him and his buddies would swim Redberry lake the long way, he said about half way across they got pretty tired so stopped and floated on their backs for a while, the lake being so salty helped with that.
I'm loving this video! So peaceful!
Amazing video! I've added a few places to my "to go list" now! Hopefully the trip to SKW can happen soon!
People that have land to roam, like this-are luckiest now
I found the video really interesting. A glimpse of your upbringing in rural Canada. I kind of grew up on my Uncle's farm, but have been driving locomotives pretty much all of my working life. I'm now living and working in Darwin, Australia. It's a lot different to Saskatchewan. Hot and humid most of the time. Anyway, thank you for going to the effort of making the video and posting it on RUclips. I'm glad that I came across it. Oh yeah, and say hi to your dad and his musician friend.
Great reportage! You are very gifted in putting people at ease during interviews. Congrats for your great work!
Very authentic dad.Very nice video giving a real glimpse into Canadian small town life.
I'm American and this looks like a nice place. Maybe I'll visit someday soon.
You captured it ! I went back to the town I grew up in a couple years ago and I think everyone should do that, it brings back to reality and sparks an open heart every time. Great video, Alina! I think still of what it was like and the changes there are in a small town, but it never loses it's attraction.
Thank you! Yes, it's always such a trip to go back to your hometown.
Thanks so much for posting this well put together video. I my formative years were spent in the town of Wynyard, Saskatchewan and I have always been grateful for that. Your rural scenery is not so different from there. Life takes us in different directions but I have and always will be proud of my Saskatchewan heritage. Good job!! Thanks again!
Great Chinese restaurant in Wynyard.
From BC. Thanks for sharing the beautiful small town. I love farming. Looking forward to see your next farming video!
Thank you for your video. It reminds me of my years spent in Saskatchewan. I went to a small town called OUTLOOK, attended a boarding school in the year of 1972. I came from Hong Kong and it was such a cultural and geographical change for me. I finished University and left Saskatchewan in 1987. I am living in BC now and I sometimes miss that open space and cold, fresh air of Saskatchewan. I still have some friends living there, may be I should take a trip back to Saskatoon.
Beautiful, reminds me of the small town of South Dakota where I was raised. Can tell I could be quite happy in your small town. Thanks
I was thinking of SD too., heading west toward the Missouri River. Bet you freeze your moose nuggets off even worse up there!
Excellent! Very informative video....Love to watch more especially on farming!!
I’m from Melfort, SK and seeing everyone be like “I should visit” is so funny because they’re gonna get here and be like “oh wow, another field...” 😂😂
I’m from Melfort too!
Lol I’m from Ontario but SK is my fav province. My town is flat as hell with no trees and just farm fields. Saskatchewan is like my town but on steroids. I love how much nothing there is. And I hate cities
Great video Alina as always such inspiration to travel as well to beautiful peaceful places you are truly a great traveler exploring everywhere where there is great sunset always keep on sharing with us on life, as always keep it up 👍
I have spent a lot of time in Hafford as my daughter and three granddaughters live here and I have found lots of things to love about the place.
Awesome video!!!! Way to go Alina.
I lived in Saskatoon about 4.5 years ago and still miss it and the province. Saskatchewan is so underrated and overlooked by so many, From the Cochin lighthouse to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw to the Manitou--our Dead Sea, and our Sahara like Athabasca sand dunes, and Finnish Tom Sukanen's Ship, there is so many "hidden gems" to see. My great grandparents and a grand uncle settled and had a farm near Winter Sask--Winter is no longer there but it was close to Unity and my grandfather and his siblings went to the Seagram schoolhouse. The biggest thing to happen there when they lived there was school was closed on account of a skunk spraying.
As a guy from Toronto, I love seeing this view from a small town in Saskatchewan!!!! 🇨🇦 proud!!!!
If you guys would stop voting Liberal out there we would be proud of Toronto too.
@@oilersridersbluejays not everything in life is politics bud
@@hassanfazal7925 it's kind of a big deal though bud.
Nice video. It's great to see small town Canada. I've lived in Borden, Radisson, Fielding, Maymont, Blaine Lake, and Lac la Peche over the last few years.
My husband's aunt Beulah was a missionary nurse in Korea (1932-1974) who was posted to the health care in Hafford during one of the war years evacuations she experienced. I've been hearing about Hafford for nearly 50 years and it was so nice to get an introduction to the current community. Lovely photography. The drone views give a sense of the space we live in on the prairies.
I’m a Saskatoon kid but there’s nothing I enjoy more than exploring the country side
My first girl friend, Marilyn, was from Saskatoon and that was the reason the name Saskatchewan called my attention when, randomly, it appeared in my youtube.... loved her. Thanks for remind me of this beautiful time of my life. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro
Are you settled in Saskatoon?
Nice
@@bCanadian No. I never had been there. The only time I went to Canada was for a conference in Montreal. I knew her when she came to Brazil in a Lions' exchange program 🤗

This is a great video and I have often wondered what it’s like there. I have family in Medicine Hat Alberta. I live in Sheffield, England. Waving hi over the pond.
I am impressed. This is such a beautiful place. It just takes one to get used to the kind of living that they have. Living in a very cool and quiet place.
It’s so interesting small town, I should have a time to see because I am living a bigger city.Thank your wonderful video.
From an Albertan, thanks for showing the smaller prairie towns of Canada. There's a special magic to them.
@ good time to hop on yer sled.
The magic is in the mushrooms your taking to live in some alternate perception about small towns.
All I see is stolen land and some made up story about why it’s not stolen land.
@@warchief6733 That´s life and history, deal with it, the winner takes it all...
Prs Grind more fantasy dream living thinking, do you believe in Santa Clause too?

I'm glad your small town has survived. A few years ago my sister and I drove through central Washington State. Our old home lands. Small town after small town was dead or dying. All the houses and businesses boarded up. Yet, the surrounding farms were operating. They had all been bought up by Agri-Corporations. If all our food is produced by a handful of multi-national corporations instead of thousands of independent farms....Does anyone think that is a good idea??????
R. Blakehole The small time rancher knows every one of his cows, by name. The corporate farm treats them like sardines. The family grain farmer rotates his crops and lets the land rest in summer fallow. The corporate farms pump nitrogen into the soil until it is no longer productive.
Yes, I have noticed that as soon as production becomes corporate, the planet suffers.
@tiluu Except that history has proved it doesn't work.
@tiluu Government production of food doesn't work. Banking in Canada is not in private hands.
Plus governments are not efficient business operators. Plus they are not elected to be businessmen.
NOPE!!!!! Unless the multinational corporations are bribed into organic farming and regulated
tiluu like communism? Still better than corporate control
Nice video,I'm from ontario and worked in the pot ash mines for maintaince coatings due to the high corrosion issues they have .I met some of the most beautiful and kind people there,you farmers are loved for all your hard work you do for this whole country. The little towns and church's are so nicely kept .keep up the real canadian spirit and God be with all of you.

I'm from Saskatchewanand I have family in Alberta and it always amused me when they referred to us as flatlanders, like Alberta was full of mountains.
Exactly, it's such a bizarre perspective they have of themselves lol.
I am Canadian, raised in Kingston, mostly in Toronto as an adult. Loved this, so nice to see what life in small town Saskatchewan is like.
Thank you!
I loved this video. Grew up in a small town myself so I get it and LOVE small town country life. Your dad, your cat, and your dog made everyone smile along with your beautiful self. Looking forward to your next clip. I subscribed. Stay safe.
I'm from BC ,and as a commercial transport driver I've traveled a lot in Saskatchewan. My experience has been pleasant there. Most people think of Saskatchewan as being flat. However it has many small glens and creek bottom lands that are some of the most delightful places for photography, and just plain a feast for your eyes. The morning and evening light is like nowhere else.
These small communities are the real jewels of our country. Salt of the earth people. They aren't all caught up in too much political correctness, and not afraid to tell it like it is. If you live in one of these places you most likely to be there on your Merritt or because you enjoy the calmness.
Just my observation. Nice vlog.
Quapelle valley
@@shs646 yes. I've been through that valley, and it IS wonderful.
This is why I like small towns and the surrounding countryside. They tend to stay humble and rarely change. I love humble places. Most of the bigger places appalls me. My heart will never let go of precious places like this, especially here in North America.
@Dan Smith Buffalo.. I'm in.
@Dan Smith
The problem in this country is each provinces are unique and based on different cultures.
But instead of talking to each others and to understand each others, there is a constant struggle and it's very sad.
I visited half of the country (plus some Eastern US states) and when you talk to the everyday people, you realise they are like you with the same dreams.
All the noise behind are caused by politics who want to buy votes and journals who want to sell copies.
Loved this. Never seen anything more honest.
I still think your dad should have an in depth farming tip segment :) . Your Dad is awesomel . Thanks for sharing this . Makes me wish I'd grown up in a small town .
Great video! I grew up in SK and the scenery brought a lot of memories back.
That's such a beautiful place, I love your Channel
Thank you!
Small world, I married a beautiful Ukrainian girl from hafford on july5,1975 . I took my vows in English and Ukrainian. Good town good people!
Great video!!! Country life special life🥰👍🏻 I grew up in Delisle SK and then moved up to Nipawin for three and a half years then moved out to Vancouver Island and have been on the island for three years. It’s great seeing my home province and understanding your video and how special it really is.
Wow....
I could not imagine living in such a small place.
Thank you for being so open.
Beautiful Saskatchewan Canada. Thank you for farming.
Not doubt about that its very beautifull Country
Good stuff. When I was a kid, a very long time ago, I spent a lot of time in Blaine Lake and Marcelin.
Omg I’m amazed of you’re editing 😍😍😍
Great video of a typical Canadian rural town in Saskatchewan. I can see that while you now live in a big city, you have a connection to your hometown which is good to see.
Very interesting! Farming is where the ENTIRE food supply chain starts. Empty shelves might be annoying here in NYC, but empty barns and fields would be utterly devastating. Cool drone footage too!
Wonderful look at small town rural living. It makes me pine for the farm I grew up on.
And if I may, you are a very attractive young lady. Your father should be proud of his parenting skills.
Right on awesome town I'm gald I'm from Saskatchewan all the way thank you for posting it stay safe
That pup was very happy to see you! Your dad is a gem. Saw the video where he picked you up at the airport. Great video ...
I have lived most of my life in big cities, but it’s kind of lonely because we tend to be suspicious of everybody. When I used to go to more rural areas for vacations, it felt refreshing. People would leave their front doors and windows open all day long and everybody would know who you are. I miss that. Thank you for a wonderful video and stay safe. Greetings from Mexico 😘❤️😘
My family had a farm when I was born. But economics forced us to seek a midsized city. I can appreciate the peace of rural life, but I know we were never meant to return. Grandparents were Norwegian farmers, but I don't think the parents generation ever lived rural lives. Grandparents on farms in Europe were very poor.
Loved it! Was born in sask and have even been to Hafford! 😉🇨🇦
Really enjoyed the video. Very well done.
i enjoyed my days in Regina a lot. love that province. Far better then other places.
The best part about living in rural Saskatchewan is the quiet and the Clean Air
sometimes all the quiet clean air closes in on a body in mid February and things can get really tense... I joke of course. We don't suffer for want of diversions. But you must wonder at the life of the earliest settlers.
I dream of quiet and clean air, sounds like heaven
@@donaldubh5994 I don't know if they struggled with boredom so much as survival. It can be brutal here on the Prairies - 40 to 50 Celsius.
@@elizabethseguin193 I'm not sure where you are but any chance that you can escape from the city and just go sit by a river or just walkthrough a field that's a good day.
Cheap housing as well.
Nice effort.... Appreciations and congratulations!!
Hope, I can visit there someday
Great video👍. I really liked the conversation between you and your dad. The world needs more Saskatchewan.
Thank you for this heartwarming and important introduction to your home town and the life on a farm in Saskatchewan!
No thank you for this romanticized depiction of ethnocentrism.
