Ghost towns are abandoned settlements, once bustling with life and purpose, that now stand silent to the passage of time.
Deserted due to economic decline, exhaustion of a natural resource, natural or man made disasters, ghost towns tell stories of resilience, hardship, and the transient nature of humans.
As we explore what remains, you can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a time that once was, and a connection to those who once called these places home.
Exploring a ghost town invites us to contemplate that what we see all around us is often short lived and only temporary.
In this video we will explore and learn the story of 10 fascinating ghost towns around western Canada and to see what remains.
*When exploring abandoned locations or ghost towns, remember they may be dangerous and some may be privately owned so please seek proper permissions and be careful exploring!
Thank you for watching!

So many sites that remain abandoned and mostly forgotten in so many areas of Canada. Just so great to document these historic finds before they are all but gone! Awesome stuff!!

Hi Wade, another great history lesson for us. Thank you. A controversial book I was given prior to moving to Canada was (I heard the Owl Call my Name - by Margaret Craven) if you know of it, then you will also know of the trips the elders took to old abandoned First Nation settlements along the Queen Charlottes and the up-cost of BC to Kingcome Village, Dzawada̱ʼenux̱w First Nation. These are places I would like to visit. Along with Kingcome Village, where the story is set. My Spiritual director at my home parish in Miami gave this book to me, before I ever had an inkling that I would later move here. And in it it mentions Montreal (Where I live today) A premonition? Maybe. Controversial as it was, I had no idea how controversial it really was, in today's Canada. I loved that book nonetheless for my own reasons, barring the slant of the Residential School issues. The trips to long abandoned First Nations settlements were very interesting to me, as most only had welcome Totems still standing when this book was set, in the 1960's. Your videos are always filled with lots of great historical value.

@ExploringwithWade 2 месяца назад

That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I would love to be able to visit or see some of those settlements or if anything may still be left. Have a great day!

there's ghost towns in Alberta's coal branch as well. Mercoal (might have 1/2 dozen people living in it now). Robb ( about the same amount of people), Mountain Park ( only a cemetery & a couple of chimneys), & Bickerdyke ( might be a few more than a half dozen people there)

@ExploringwithWade 2 месяца назад

Yes some of what you mentioned have been on my list for years. Just waiting for the next time I get out to the area.

A couple of tidbits of information concerning the first ghost town in this video, Bulwark. The rail line that is mentioned was supposed to run from Edmonton to Empress, Aberta. The two parts of the rail line which did get built ran from Coronation to Youngstown, Alberta (CP Rail Youngstown Subdivision) while the rail line which ran from Coronation to Berkinshaw, Alberta and which also served Bulwark was the CP Rail Lorraine Subdivision.
