Life in a small town in the North of Canada is amazing in so many ways. The nature is unparalleled. My home where I have lived my whole life is in Northwest Territories in a little town called Hay River. It is a special place, and this video will give you a taste of the town, surrounding area and all it has to offer.

You know, it's fine. Many smaller countries and more rural communities make due with the resources that nature provides. In Eastern Europe, many people still have family (mostly pensioners) that have a small villa with a plot of land that they cultivate every year for potatoes, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes and beans. It's a must, but the soil there is pretty rich. Just the rain is getting more seasonal, still stronger in the Fall/Winter, but pretty dry in mid to late Summer. Nothing wrong with having an agricultural way of life at all. Many people are wanting that but can't afford the land.

Oooh am so happy to find this video! Lived in Hay River in the early to mid 90's, a lot has changed but some not, like the purple high school. My husband proposed to me at Alexandra Falls in the dead of winter on that lookout, with the partially frozen falls running. Thanks for the memories!

@PetrenaSchell Год назад

That's amazing! What's a special memory.🥰 I am so glad you found my video as well to give you a bit of reminiscing.

I used to stop off in Hay River a lot in the 90s and 20s heading from Edmonton to Fort Simpson. A good stop off point. Nice community, and I miss the North! There used to be a great restaurant on the main street run by a Chinese family. Not sure what it was called but it was great.

@PetrenaSchell 10 месяцев назад

That's amazing!! The North is a special place. The Chinese restaurant is still there, but it's now called Salt and Pepper and it's run by different people.😊

@PetrenaSchell 2 года назад

Awe, thank you so much! ❤️❤️ The North can be difficult, but there are definitely opportunities, and alot of the jobs pay a higher salary because of the cost of living. It's an experience! That's for sure.😊

@bobmilner4762 Год назад

Petrina is a real sweetie and a gifted travel host. I'll tell you one thing about Hay River and Yellow Knife however. You can get to both of these places in.the family car, but they easily qualify as adventure travel. You will definitely learn first hand about the vastness of Canada by going there. These two places are literally at the end of the road. It will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment to explore there.

@billfarley9167 7 дней назад

Back in the day (1970's) when the school was first built the students were given the task of selecting the colour. They chose purple and by this video it seems to have been always purple. I'm sure the students chose the colour as a joke, but it was not to be. The staff made it purple. In addition, I lived in Hay River when the high rise was constructed. Rumour has it they ran out of rebar toward the end of construction and the last three floors do not have rebar in the poured cement walls. The bright bulb who authorized a high rise at that time was off the wall. It looked really stupid sticking way up into the sky in a northern setting when most other buildings were one story. The mayor at the time was Don Stewart.

OMG! I'm so glad I found you on youtube. Your presentation of the videos makes me feel like I'm there with you. I've always been interested in visiting the Yukon and Northwest territories for the mountains and majesty. A few weeks ago I started surfing for videos on youtube of the area and finally decided to check out your videos yesterday. I'm glad I did. You're motivating me to save up and go out there for a trip. I'm 55 and this is a trip I need. I love my country and I want to see more of her! Thank you for putting out these videos! Keep posting! ❤️

You guys seriously make me want to live there. I'm an American, grew up in rural Arkansas, but even down here, things are getting strange, and with advances in AI and automation, political unrest, and climate change, things are only going to get stranger. I feel like little towns like yours are going to be an oasis through the coming storms.

@Tiejocky 11 месяцев назад

This looks like a perfect place to live for anyone who loves a simple, pure lifestyle close to nature. One thing interest me is what are the main industries in this town for people to make a living ?

I lived there for a year in the early 70s. Sure has changed a lot. Just wondering. What happened to the bugs?

@PetrenaSchell 3 месяца назад

The bugs are still there! Haha. Each has a season though. One month bull dogs, one month sand flies, all summer months mosquitos the size of small airplanes.😂

@davidford694 2 месяца назад

Didn't see them in your video! While I was there we built the synchrolift, the marine elevator used to pull NTs barges out before freezeup. Interesting piece of engineering. I think the most afffecting thing I saw in Hay River was across the water from the sychrolift. There was an Anglican mission church still there then, abandoned but still standing. I can hardly imagine what life would be like for the missionaries, miles and miles from any other Europeans, trying to teach and heal the local people. It was obviously hard to keep warm, for one thing. One of the closets was completely lined with pages from the Illustrated London News.

It is one of the few places in the NWT that I've visited, and walked right where you and your mum walked (nice to meet her, btw) at Alexandra Falls and I've been on the beach of the great inland fresh water sea called Great Slave. I have hugged trees! So I'm a bit of a kindred spirit, but living the stay-put life unlike you … But you need stay at homes to be your viewers, maybe?
